Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Very nicely done sir. Looks like all the filling and sanding does pay off, hope mine turns out close to that good.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Truck looks great. I'm glad to see you posting again as your thread was one of the first one's I found when I got my truck about six years ago, and missed it while you were gone.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Hey Bam , going way back here , but I have a question. I saw that you painted the inside cab first and then later the outside of the cab. did you back tape on the edge on this when blending the two to get a soft edge? trying to get a game plan here together for mine

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks man. Those pics were taken with my phone. I don't know where I put my digital camera. I guest I'm getting old.lol Anyway the firewall is not wet sanded yet. I did not want to do it until I got the engine in there because I just knew I was going to scratch the firewall putting the engine and trans in by myself. But I had some luck this time, not one scratch. I have done some cutting and buffing on the cab and man it coming along nice. I just want to get this thing done so I can get on my 55 Sedan.
Thanks for the comments. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Looking Good Bam, You did a great job putting that LS in and not scratching the Firewall. I would have made a mess of mine.

Oh believe me I had my fingers and my toes crossed and the touch up gun at the ready.lol A little bit of cursing also every time it hit the thick cardboard that I taped to the firewall, but lucky me when I removed the cardboard no damage was done. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Very nice! I really like the contrast of the raw aluminum against that green! on your 55 sedan, how much difference did you notice with this type of sound deadener? I have some similar stuff I was going to try in a couple of my rides.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
First of all I want to thank everyone for the comments and encouragement. Its greatly appreciated. I'm really excited at this point of the build (putting it back together) its really going to be nice to start this engine with it between the frame rails. I got home yesterday and the exhaust kit was on the front porch. I need a couple of other things but I'm looking and thinking about the exhaust.
Ptc, it does make a difference, and yes I'm going to use the same material inside the door. You don't have to cover the entire inside of the door, just a nice piece will be good. You also don't have to cover the whole floor but people do because its easy to do. Its a why not thing.lol |
