Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Hey Bam. When you smoothed your door jambs, how did you do it? Just weld up the seams and apply filler and then paint? Mind explaining a bit.

That is exactly what I did. I completely welded all the seams, grind them smooth and added filler.

Vdog,
Shhhhhhh, Bam's probably out at the beach catching some zzzz's!

Kidding.

Bam, as you MAY have read I have crossed over to the light - I bought an IFS kit so no dropped axle for me afterall and it's official now.

As far as what I'm working on now. That would be final mock up and fixing all those dreaded panel gaps before painting the cab.lol But I must be honest have not be doing much because of all the car shows I've be going to. This is car show season here and I've been making the rounds.lol
Very nice Bam!!! I love that color, it really pops!

LOL. I actually was speaking technically Forrest Gump. The problem with shoot paint in this heat (I don't have a booth remember) is that the paint or primer will drying before it hits the surface.

Well Lt Bam, I did not think you would shoot some paint. I figure you would show off the latest body mods you have done to your truck.

Man just give me a call so we can talk in detail about the message you left me. I called you back but I guess you don't know how to use cell phones and thought it was just your pocket ringing.
