This door treatment is art! I love the curves up by the cowl.

I did not think people would be interested in this stuff because I find it boring and very tedious. Its actually the most important and the most aggravating part of the build. I find panel alignment is where lots of people just fit the panel the best they can and say forget and move on.lol But it shows and if I did not do it I would be kicking myself.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Your attention to detail is outstanding. Several of my friends are always giving me a hard time because they say I am taking to long. I don't care because I just want to do it right the first time. Thanks for the inspiration on the build and keep posting pictures even of the boring stuff.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
thats the difference between one build and a great build. and the difference between a few and the majority. and the majority that has become the norm of that's good enough

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
True. I don't know nothing about a great build, but I'm doing the best I can. Then maybe, just maybe I will be satisfied. Naw that wont happen, but I can dream right?lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
The doors are looking great. It's long and tedious work but it all pays off in the end.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
your work makes me think of a guy i work with.... who continually reminds the rest of the crew..... "any job large or small do it right or not at all"... I hate it when he says it cause we all know he is right and it forces us to look at our work and take the time we should to do it right the first time....

Here's the business end, and yes that is a real license plate, I just cleaned it up He has cruised it on the street, with slicks(!) but mainly races it. 502 with a big solid when these pics were taken, bigger solid roller now. Straight axle, all-metal flip frontend, Richmond 5 speed, Dana 60 with 4:88, 4500 rpm launch, dump it and hang on, full-power shift to 2nd, picks them up about 6 inches second time. WAHOO! I've driven it and it's mean. Here's a pass, pulled them higher (and back up again in second) before he added the wheelie bars but the landings could be rough, runs tens, only 'glass is the front bumper Sorry for the hijack Kabwe, now back to your regularly scheduled build thread

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe, The doors look great with the corners rounded and the evan gaps. It is time consuming but makes a big difference in the end. Great looking build.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks man, I'm kind of feeling bad because I have not touched the truck for going on 3 weeks. I've been busy doing that Nova clip for my buddy and this week I threw my back out. I think I will finish his clip this weekend if my back heals and then I can get back to the truck, at least I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
