Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Thanks Chief.
I've been in a slump on my build, but Im about to get back kickin again. Got to get rid of some dead weight. Then its go time again.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Sorry guys for being gone so long. I have had alot going on. Just a quick update and hopefully I can get back kicking on this truck soon.
I have a deal in the works to hopefully get a Frame that already has been done the way I have been planning with all the PB parts, and MMW CA's + alot of extra goodies!
So keep your fingers crossed and wish me the best of luck. This will jump my built to the next level and get me really kicked to the next level!
Thanks for following along, my long and insain road of this build.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Signed up to watch how this one turns out... good luck on the frame.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Well I got Some AWESOME News!
My dad is giving me a new motor!
I wasn't quite sold on the BBC for my truck, but still wanted the power and drive-ability.
So I was talking to him yesterday and he had built a 1970 Corvette HO 350 for his 68 that he had and ended up selling the Truck before installing the motor.
The Beauty has been setting on a stand in his Garage waiting for a home...
He asked if I would be interested...
(hummm, Motor Built by my Dad... Great HP, ... Drive-Ability,... How can I turn that down!?!?!?)
Yall give me your Opinion,...

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Nice heads!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Thanks Guys. My vision is finally coming together! And a huge thanks to my Dad

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Great Dad!!!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Yes Sir! One of a kind awesome guy!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Nothing major to report, ....
But I got Pictures! :metal:
First I do need ya'llz opinion.
Red Or White?
http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/...ps51359e72.jpg
Oh and the Glove box door, ashtry, and Gauge pod are all being shipped to Pinstripe Chris to be (Artisticly) Painted... Im letting him Draw / Paint whatever he wants on them.:devil:
Next, I have been Stripping Paint off my cab...
OMG!!! There are at least 7 layers! It has never been stripped before and it has been painted a number of times. UGH!
I figured I had better strip it to find out exactly what is under the top coats....
Unfortunately I have already found rust and a few dents. But nothing that can't be fixed.
The worst of the rust...:smoke:
http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3a4f494e.jpg
and some clean metal...:smoke:
http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2d81792a.jpg
and some more cleaned metal... kinda hard to see, but you get the picture.:uhmk:

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

not much news, rain has been keeping me from working on the truck...:waah:
Did get some really nice badges for my fenders from a board member!
Very nice! Thanks Scotts72heavyhalf
http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6affe915.jpg

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Nice lookin badges. That 350 is a friggin beauty!!!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Red or white? For me, guess it'd depend on the color scheme overall. But if you're asking 'red or white' - which cluster to use, I'd keep it year specific.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

That is a really nice looking motor :metal:

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Well both clusters are 72, so I can use either and it be correct. The Interior will be viper red metal w/ black leather seats and console. But my gauge pod, ashtray, and glove box door are all being detailed by pinstripe Chris. Mostly white art, with hints of red on a black background.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

well I have some new pics of my motor wit a few details that make it special... I know I'm special too. I have my helmet on. :)
