Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Thanks guys. Yes I worked out a deal for some rear springs. I actually think I want to save up a little cash and get the paint done. Truth be told ice kind of hit a wall with this build, been really enjoying driving it. Kind of want to take a little breather for a month of two and see what I feel to do next. Gonna hit the brothers show in June 350 miles south in LA.

The value and many improvements on the 9th gen Accord are what sold us. A lot of car for not much $$$

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

I think $15 is a bit for a long bed. I don't know all you details about motor and all but with yours being pretty straight, unpainted, but clean to say the least. 9-10k would be tops IMO. It's a weird market for these trucks, if you look hard enough you can find someone selling a completely rebuilt truck, perfect body and paint for 4-5k. Other times people want 10-15k for rusted junk. I'm sure for the right buyer you could get close to that, just not me.

Not really looking to sell unless for the right price. My wife actually wants me to keep it. It really is a straight truck with all the hard stuff done.

Not sure. Just bounceing some ideas out there. I possibly may looking at a job that will almost double my incomes so I'm thinking aloud about transportation but with the huge increase in pay I can buy a nice car relativly quickly. To be honest when I think of all the work I've done to this truck I cringe at the thought of selling it. Closer to being done than when I started

Well everytime you have an evil thought like that you need to jog around the block. Eventually you won't have those evil thoughts..

Hey! welcome back! I thought you got body snatched or something. I think either would look good but I would probably prefer grey myself.
