Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
what are you talking about, show? That was on a street somewhere. We can see it! Quit all the nonsense and stop holding out on us. You are hiding them for yourself. Show us more.

Now let's talk about all the cars and trucks at the shows, you're correct alot of the owners did not do anything to their rides but put gas and clean it and bring it to shows. I'm no professional but I've been trying to do most everything I can do with my truck because this a expensive hobby, I also know that there alot of guys here that's doing the same. Good jobs guys.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
That is what I like on here, everybody seems to be working on there rides. I was always willing to try something because I to do not have the money to pay for all the custom work. I just buy/make the tools I need to do the job. Yes I am a tool junkie! I like to see the high tech stuff but I love to see the builds better. You can learn a lot on here and see the way other people do things and there ways. Some people have a lot of tools to do the work and some do not. I always admire people for trying and doing thing with what they have. If there is anybody local they are always welcome to use what I have.

usually that's the case and with all their money they still can't buy what you have,all the skill to work with metal and turn it into works of art.But you can appreciate what they buy because it was made from guys who have that skill to produce something that everyone admirers especially the few who understand what goes into that type of work. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Hey, just cause I'm curious (aka "nosy!) where do the "Kabwe" and the "Bam" names come from? What's their origin?
My "Dan in Pasadena" come from having no creativity! I tried Danimal (there are a million of those) and after that I just said, "screw it". |

I stole this from my brother. Whenever he would paint a car he would buy a box of crayons and start sorting the colors he liked. Then he would have about 10 colors and have a color of the week.lol That would eventually narrow it down to 3 to 5 colors and the one he just kept coming back to would be the color.lol Off to the paint store with a crayon looking through chip books to decide if he like it in metallic or solid.lol As you can see I come from a long line of car nutz (my brother is a car maniac). He would walk around with crayons in his pocket asking people what they thought of the color.lol Last edited by Kabwe; 10-05-2011 at 06:49 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe, What I do is draw what I want to paint then make copies at work. Then get out the colored pencils and color it in. If you do not like it just throw it away and start over. If you are using a couple colors I take a different piece of paper and color the shades together to see if you like it. Then color the drawn truck. Poor mans digital paint shop! I just did it last night for my buddies panel truck.

I've seen photos of your '55, stunning car! Its funny how life goes, He bought the '55 back in the early '70's in pieces and assembled it, it was stripped to be a racecar (thank god he still has it) I think he paid $500 for it, original belair. he coulda' bought a '57 for another $500 but couldnt afford it ... I wish I was in my youth in the dang '70's when these things were affordable!!!!!! |
