See thats skill, my lazy a** would have bolted on the aftermarket fender and been happy. Watching your build helps me to not settle and make it right the first time.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Thanks hotrod1! You only live once, so I've decided I'm going for it. I'm just sad because I had to leave my old truck at home for now... hopefully someday I'll get it on the road.

If you haven't checked out my website here's the link www.shanehenry.com

Hey man that is a very nice offer and I may have to take you up on that one of these days. Yeah we 47-59 guys in Cali really should get together for a meet and greet or something. Just to talk trucks and put faces with usernames.lol Vdog and the guys in the 60's forums have gotten together a couple of times. I guess us 47-59 guys could take a lesson from them and get together for lunch or something just to talk cars.

Yeah but when I went there is only 1960's truck guys and they were acting all uppity (not true just joking) because I did not have a 1960's truck and I had no one to talk to about the real classics.lol

But like I said you 60's truck guys get together I don't know whats wrong with us 47-59 guys.

By the way Shannon we are not far away, you are my friend.lol

The real classics, thats nothing but hater-aid talking. LOL
The SoCal Checking In post is for all trucks and info local to our area.
Bring some of those real classics so we can all learn. LOL JK
