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 $$$

If I blow it apart it will dropmembered and painted and it will take me years. After looking at Chucks truck on 20s I've got an idea.....

There is a complete PB drop member setup front and rear in the for sale area. not badly priced. As for paint, I did just buy myself a good ol cheap gun yesterday!

shawno72 · 04-21-2013, 04:11 PM

Hardesty454 · 04-21-2013, 06:54 PM

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.

Rusbuilt · 04-21-2013, 07:04 PM

Shawn I'd say $12-13k is a good number

RRC · 04-21-2013, 07:07 PM

So if you sold it then what???

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

RRC · 04-21-2013, 07:50 PM

It's all good.....only thing I would say is its always nice to have a truck around

Hey Shawn, If I see an ad for your truck, I'll have to come over have a what are you thinking talk. Don't sell it just finish it, why start over now

shawno72 · 04-22-2013, 11:46 AM

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

shawno72 · 04-24-2013, 04:40 PM

Ok guys thoughts of selling the truck are gone. Boy was I having a moment

Please feel free to slap me again if I ever say something so dumb. Anyways been thinking of some Boss 338s. My question is what do you think? Grey or black? Remember my truck will eventually be red.......I think

**Ol Blue K20** · 04-24-2013, 04:48 PM

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

I was kinda thinking grey as well, easier to keep clean for a daily and with all the blacked out wheels.......well you know.
