Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Those Intrepid seats look like a great fit. I agree with the seat being not visible in the back window. Those seats that stick up look wrong. You've mounted them nice and low. How is it for leg room when you sit in it? Us guys with the small back window can probably mount them a bit higher.

I got it on ebay from autoaccessories4u4less, but you can find them pretty much anywhere. I talked to Cal58GMC because I wanted to know the height of his (I like how it looks in his truck) and bought the same one. Its 12 inch shifter. Last edited by Kabwe; 01-24-2011 at 03:44 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks man, no skills over here just desire and hard work.
This is the No Limit Engineering Kit the latch is stock. Last edited by Kabwe; 01-16-2011 at 05:55 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Because the kit does not change the stock latch it just installs bracket on top of the factory brace. The factory brace and latch remain the same. You just remove the cross brace, and mount the new bracing in the factory holes.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
It was not the hood it was me, I installed the bracket upside down.lol This is what happens when you try to beat the moon.lol You rush and do things backwards. Now I can focus all my attention to panel alignment.

you have a great eye for the simple metal fab ideas.. thats going to be one hell of a clean truck! subscribed! good luck with the rest of the build!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
How does the rear portion of the hood latch and stay close? Never seen one of these kits so don't understand how someone couldn't walk up to it and pull the rear part of the hood up?

Look at the pic of the hood open. Its a bar on the inner fender and on the hood there are rollers and the rear of the hood rolls down into the bar. The hood rolls forward then it can flip up. Last edited by Kabwe; 01-18-2011 at 07:04 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Hey Bam: It sure is nice to see your build back. I missed it. the good thing about this build is that I can see everything that you have done in just a few pages. It is good reference for those that need to see what things are suppose to look like. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you 100% hotrod1 and I like your emphasis on all the exclamation marks, haha, but there are "SOME" folks on here that think cutting up a truck is a terrible thing. Well I don't care for stock. I can appreciate the work that goes into stock restorations but not for me. Kabwe's and Chevyrestoguy's '55 build and CAL 58 GMC & Yukon Rat Rod's '57 have cut up those trucks and they look awesome and have not lost the essence of a gr8 looking classic truck. They are all different but tastefully done. Didn't mean to leave any body out I know there are tons of well executed projects on here.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe, glad to see your thread is back, truck is looking super nice! That is a really smooth ride.
Mine is on hold while I rebuild and expand a bathroom. Working 2 jobs, a reno and shovelling snow every second day doesn't leave me much time (or energy) for the truck, meanwhile your updates feed my urge to work on it. soon tho....very soon...

I will soon be doing my bathroom also so life will get in my way also.lol As John Lennon said "Life is what happens when you're busy doing other things". I hope you have time soon but we all understand some things are more important. |
