Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Wow, glad to see you back on here, Bam. Your work on here is pretty inspirational to a lot of us. You do such good work with not a lot of training, tools or equipment, just a vision, a good plan and a lot of hard work. Same with the shop. Looks great!
And yeah, nothing like firing an engine for the first time. Well, except maybe getting girls shirt off for the first time... endorphins I suppose.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Bam
Great shed, good place for engine assembly, storage when engines are completed. How long after the concrete was poured did you put the floor seal on? You might try to rig some supporting uprights and cross members to get a shade on the space between the buildings. steel up rights that set down in the concrete a pipe, that the upright will snug down into the bung in the concrete slab, then some pipe to join to support a light see through corrugated roofing. Something that can be temporary so the local authorities won't drain you on permits and other non esential drivel. Tarps for sides that can be rolled upped and stored. Just a thought.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Just recovering from spending a large part of my Saturday evening/ early Sunday morning going through your build again!!!
I think your obvious love of designing and building these trucks epitomizes the best of what we should all be trying to do. That is helping others achieve at least acceptable results, although your results are all exceptional, that would not have been possible without you continually posting basically what you are up to. Really nice work. Thanks for all you do and the way you are doing it! |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
This is so cool.
Yeah I know some guy is putting these together up in Michigan, but I imagine its on an assembly line with set steps, but this is still pretty neat. as always, keep up the good work. |
