Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Raptor liner tinted with body color and clear.
![]() Raptor liner tinted with body no clear. ![]() Well once again I could not leave well enough alone. If you guys remember I never liked how the column stuck out of the firewall when I installed the 55 dash. The aftermarket mount just looked to busy and I wanted something smooth looking. So I decided to do this. I made this piece out of sheetmetal and exhaust pipe I had laying around. ![]() Mocked up to see if I liked it better before I commented to it. ![]() Welded in and mocked up and yes I like it much better. ![]() Grinded all the weldsm, filler, primer and almost done blocking. I will blend the paint in that area and you will never notice the difference. ![]() Last edited by BAM55; 10-22-2018 at 03:05 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Bam, I really like that Fuel Filler you made. It's kinda sneeky, blends right in there.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Yeah I really like it. I thought about the location over and over and I said its nothing to it but to do it. The bends are tight but I was able to make them after some work. Its pipe going through the stake pocket, then bends and goes into the rear sill, than I have flexable line to the gas tank.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Any of you guys noticed the seat in the video? That is another change. That sent to me by our forum member hp1957. Cool dude.
At the Brothers Truck Show I was telling him that I could not find the 1988-1995 CHEVY Truck Bench seat with the armrest in my area, not one truck in the yards had this seat in my area. He told me he thought he could find one in his area and he would give it to me at cost plus shipping. Very cool person. I chop down the mounts and it fits perfect. ![]() Dakota Digital Gauges installed. ![]() Last edited by BAM55; 10-22-2018 at 07:21 PM. |

They worked perfect. The wife never liked that I was going to run bucket seats, she saw that seat in the truck and told me to get in. She sat down next to me and said "Thats what I'm talking bout".lol Last edited by BAM55; 10-24-2018 at 12:19 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Well they are never finished, but I'm shooting for making it debut by next summer, but hopefully I'll be driving it before then. All I need now to make it move on its own power is a driveshaft. I have all the new parts to make my own driveshaft I just have not gotten around to it, I've been spending my time with the mechanics and tweaking the engine. I have it all wired, brake lights, headlights,etc everthing is working and all the wires are where they suppose to go. Its all about putting it back together. I still have to paint the doors they are almost ready for paint. The bed will be painted separate. The details are a lot of work sometimes more that the major stuff. You know trying to get everything just right.[/ Last edited by BAM55; 10-23-2018 at 04:29 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Yeah but you are doing a nice job, sometimes it takes time to do things right. You have to be happy with it in the end. Man just keep telling yourself "It takes as long as it takes" that way there are no regrets or if I would have should have.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Well I finished blending the paint on the firewall after the steering column mount fab work. It came out nice, you can't tell that I cut into that paint.
