He's going to part it out though because doesn't feel comfortable selling it to someone after putting it through the Rough Truck competition.

#348624 I forgot about this thread...
Instead of parting it out, he put tags on it and started driving it earlier this year because his 4x4 Suzuki was getting poor mpg.

Then my friend says to me one day... "I need a truck to haul my quad or dirt bike... How do you think the accord would look as an elcamino?" :lol:

The rest will be history... :woot:

#351719 Thanks! Those aren't in real time, we actually started filming almost a year ago. We get to work on it about 1 night a month these days, with our schedules. We actually were doing some welding last night and it's really starting to come together! Now we have to pay attention to some details.

#352612 I uploaded Episode 4 this weekend...
Here's part 4:
https://youtu.be/jPCEkPH2M3s

We got the impact beams inside the rear doors welded together with a long piece of 1" square stock and also welded the stock to the rear floor to tie everything together. Then we built a couch in 60 seconds using leftover honda parts from the Accord back seat & donor Del Sol :lol:

Next time, we cut out the roof!!! :woot:

#353024 Lol, just wait... He's going to love when we finally get the rear window working!
And sorry about any adult language that he may have heard. We try to keep it PG13 but I know we really get into it sometimes and forget. I think more so in the future episodes.

Actually all of the clips of us working on the car in the first 6 episodes were all from the very first night we started. (notice Mikey is always wearing a blue flannel and I have the same VTECH shirt? :lol: )
From the into, to the walk around, to all the gutting/cutting... That first night we started around 9pm and went till around 4:30 in the morning. Our most productive night by far.
