Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Bam, rims look great. As we all know, tires and wheels can make or break a vehicle. I'm like you I like a decent side wall. Won't be long now buddy, enjoy...Jim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
holy, that looks terrible. better put it back like it was.
kidding, looks great. I thought of doing that to mine but sold my 58 hood to a guy who needed it real bad. oh well, the system doesn't get any better if we hoard our stuff either. if you keep cutting and welding you're not gonna be driving, lol. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
looks killer as usual bam. Quick question for ya, I see you smoothed the area over hang where the windshield meets the roof. where the factory seam is, in that area did you weld seam completely together or just filler with glass or metal all etc. Just curious for thats the next area on my list to address.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I see you pancaked the new hood like you did the old hood. nice job. there must be a spool of mig wire in the garbage if you collected the grindings over time and weighed them. haha. for sure at my garage too.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Bam, That's WOW in a good Way! I am amazed at your ability to see something that I and many others just wouldn't have thought to change.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
ok Bam, climb down off that pedestal, store your cape and spandex suit and get the dang truck done. lol.
looking great. I wish mine were coming along so well. it seems I'm at that place where you spend a bunch of time working but there is no real noticable difference if you didn't know what I was doing. oh well, all stuff thats gotta be done. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
That is just so cool! You make it look easy but I can appreciate the amount of work and time that took, nice job. For me, custom touches that the average person would think it's stock and the knowledgeable person goes "WTH? How did he do that?" are just like that.
