Very nice progress on your truck!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

That frame looks good! I'm liking your interior too. Nice color combo!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Thanks guys. Im getting motivated, my dad is helping me get the frame and it will really get my butt in gear to get it on the road

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb

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
 

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

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. :)
