At least it will be like I want it when I get done this time. Will just give me inspiration and ideas for my future Nova pro touring build.

i love the pics buddy! i think its a good choice myself. you will now have the chance to do all the little things that was bothering you... hows the wife taking it??

STOCKISH · 05-03-2010, 07:51 AM

She's fine, just thinks I'm crazy to take a truck that looked so good on the outside and totally blow it apart like that. Makes her wonder about me.

menace121978 · 05-03-2010, 11:45 AM

Amy was the same way man... so your not alone.

Driveway Dreams · 05-03-2010, 11:51 PM

It is probably a good thing I don't have room in my garage to tear mine apart...Thank you Biscayne! (That might be the first time I've said that.)

Hey Josh, whats wrong with that brown paint on your chassis?

STOCKISH · 05-04-2010, 08:20 AM

It's ok if you're into that kinda thing. It's actually mostly dirt but it will be nice and low gloss black in a while.

STOCKISH · 05-16-2010, 04:18 PM

Man I've been slacking. This thing was on page 3 already! Ok, the truck has now been 100% disassembled and the chassis is on the trailer and ready to go to the blasters tomorrow. Paint is ordered so hopefully I will have the frame back, painted, and partially reassembled by the end of this week. I cant beleive I took apart such a nice looking truck to do this and I'm sure Bigarmzz wants to strangle me but it'll be so sick when it's done. Sorry Biggz.

menace121978 · 05-16-2010, 06:37 PM

she's gonna be sick man! just keep plugging away!

lnwlfbsktbll · 05-16-2010, 08:02 PM

What paint did you decide to use?

STOCKISH · 05-16-2010, 08:30 PM

I used the PM Industries before on another truck with good results os I went with it again. You can find their stuff at www.nomorerust.com Very good stuff. Thanks Dennis, hopefully it'll be half as nice as yours is looking.

ccreddell · 05-17-2010, 02:37 AM

Wow! With it at that point, you should throw a Dropmember in it!

STOCKISH · 05-17-2010, 07:58 AM

Naah, I like the way they look with the dropmember but it's not for me. The roads suck so bad around here I would tear the truck to pieces if it was that low.

VA72C10 · 05-17-2010, 11:59 AM

Hey, you're doing it RIGHT! Going to be awesome!

STOCKISH · 05-17-2010, 01:09 PM

Thanks man. Hopefully it'll turn out as nice as the last chassis I did that you got from Mike.

JohnC · 05-17-2010, 02:37 PM

I was like

when I saw it on the trailer. I just know it will look

when it's done.

How much of this and which products would you recommend for a frame and suspension parts? Looks like pretty good stuff. Can you brush it on or do I need to spray it? Thanks man.

STOCKISH · 05-17-2010, 08:16 PM

I used 2 quarts of the chassis black topcoat on the last one. Turned out great. Just brush it on with a quality brush and it levels out so nice it looks powdercoated.

Driveway Dreams · 05-17-2010, 11:11 PM

I knew this would happen! You have lost it Josh. What is it?...I don't know, but it's gone now.

mcbassin · 05-18-2010, 01:02 AM

Hard to imagine taking apart a truck that nice. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Keep at it! It's gonna be awesome!

STOCKISH · 05-18-2010, 08:46 AM

I know, I know. But I just couldnt deal with that rusty chassis. It will be back together before you know it. I hope......

It already looked great, but it's going to look amazing now with this extra effort. You and Dennis are doing it Right!

STOCKISH · 05-18-2010, 10:23 AM

Thats right, but imagine how nice they'll be once they're finished.

STOCKISH · 05-18-2010, 04:29 PM

The blaster called and said the chassis and control arms are ready so I will pick them up tomorrow. Paint will be here in a couple days so hopefully it wont be apart too long. Now if anybody wants to start donating front end steering and suspension parts we'll get this chassis rebuilt and back together in no time.

I will also accept paypal donations to ifixbenz@hotmail.com Just kidding!

menace121978 · 05-18-2010, 07:01 PM

thanks guys!

a year and a half later and the cab is still off!

Josh, thats a good idea man... wish i woulda thought of starting a donation account!
