Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Yeah, you noticed that did you?lol
What I did was buy a bunch of carriage bolts, and washers that the square part could not go through. Then I installed the carriage bolts with the washers and nuts on the outside and tack the washers in place. Then I cut off the head of the carriage bolt and grind it flush and welded it closed. This way when the tighten the bolt it has the washer for extra strength so the sheetmetal will not buckle. I will also be using Nylon Insert Lock nuts so that I don't have to really torque down and it still will not back off the bolt. Last edited by Kabwe; 10-25-2011 at 05:55 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
If I am understanding what you did maybe an easier way would have been to use an elevator bolt. They come in two styles one with a square section at the head like a carriage bolt, another with a prong thing (used for wood that can be ground off) with a round shaft. I have used them on inside of the firewall and cab where I need a threaded shaft but did not want to drill the metal.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I have seen that before on an episode of Trucks. They did the same process to make a smooth bumper. Cool!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
No work to speak of, I just haven't had the time. I'm too busy helping other people get their project together. Somethings got to give because mine project is suffering no work on it in months.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Well, ok...if you're helping other people in exchange for uh....er....cash considerations...then something actually IS happening on your project - fund raising! Something we can all relate to the need for. Take pictures of the cobbwebs forming on her, we gotta have us some pictures man! lol.

Oh I have no problems saying no believe me, but if I tell you yes I keep my word that's all. I don't believe in "but man this and that" I should have thought about that before I gave my word. I gave my word so that's that. I met too many people that are full of sh&t and I don't want to be one of them.lol Last edited by Kabwe; 11-01-2011 at 07:43 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
All I see is red x's. I can see all the pics others load up but not your build pics. I've heard so much about your project on here I really would like to see it.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
FWIW they open ok for me in IE8. Check your pop up blocker, you might need to temporarily disable it.
