Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 
He is one hell of a guy! I couldn't ask for a better Father!
We talk at least a few times a week.
He is building a 65 C10 and I think I have almost gotten him talked into painting his the same color as mine.... lol.
He just got a really nice set of red bucket seats and a refurbished console, so it would look real good in a Charcoal grey truck.

BigDaddyV 01-12-2015 08:31 PM

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 
Well a quick update, I talked to Dave at PB today and got the skinny on about how long it will take to start getting my parts. I will start to see the shocks, R&P, Bags and stuff around my B-day. (Feb. 12) Which is awesome!
And the Built parts will start coming in around the beginning of march to the middle of march! Woot!
I just can't wait to really get kicking on this frame!
Also, I'm taking my body panels (cab, doors, hood, etc.) to my buddies shop to get started on all the body work. I will post pics as soon as I get started there also.
This week will be a waiting game till this weekend so I can get started on the Cab.
I also Ordered my Slosh tubz engine bay closeouts yesterday, So I'm hoping they show up soon, so I can carry them down to the shop with all my body stuffs.
http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/...ps782b6155.jpg
I hope everyone has a great week.
Untill the next installment of Vess Customz Garage.... :metal:

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb

BigDaddyV 01-20-2015 08:53 PM

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 
That would be correct sir. I have a set of Slosh tubz and now the Close outs. Can't wait to get it all together!

Well I haven't accomplished much. Still waiting on my bud to get all the body to the shop.
So... I decided to clean my (shop) garage, and work on the frame a little while I wait on my Proterbuilt Stuffs to show up.
I did bolt on some of the pieces I made to make it look more like a frame... :)
Here is a shot of where the magic will happen
