Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
Unfortunately that happens a lot more than we know. There are a lot of people out there who just want to make a quick buck, or don't know any better and just cover things up. I know it sucks (I've been there before, and will be again when I tear into mine) but it will be worth it in the end when you fix everything the right way. Good luck. It looks like you are off to a good start so far.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
Well Last night I finished rewiring my engine bay harness. Just gotta finish the looming. And found some a pic of a concept I've been working on in my head. But mine will be revese the way this guy did it. Now I just have to work out the details of the pop hatch, maybe even a remote trunk latch like the caddy.
![]() ![]() What do yall think?

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
Haven't gotten much done, due to work but I did manage to get a few things made. I made a 2 frame braces to replace the not so nice looking ones and a low profile adj. Transmission brace so I can run My exhaust in the frame rails. Hopefully I can get them powder coated this next week. Got them in Primer now.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
Im thinking of replacing the rear frame when I put in my deep notches. I did a lil mock up on sorta what I think it might look like. I wish I had a welder here so I could get this started. Let me know what yall think. I think I made my notches deep enough. I did one mock up with the wheel. I believe after the tires get mounted I will still lay frame.
