Ummm.......hate to be the first to tell you, but someone stripped your car. :arrow:





It's going to look great when you finish it! Nice ride!

 

[the_josh]

oh now, another american broke down :arrow: :

Just kidding man, I really like the chevelles! Great american horsepower.

 

[the_josh]

ive had her for seven years, she was my first car and suprisingly she has only broken down once when the tranny went out. so far she has a better record than my celica!

hey i just noticed the runner in the first shot,

my parents think im crazy, and i am especially since we are moving in about a month. im gonna have fun hauling all this stuff over to the new house--

Too bad you couldn't get somebody to have you on OVERHAULIN. I love watching that show and seeing what Chip Foose does to cars. I keep reminding my wife that I will eventually have some sort of car, much like yours, to restore and take to car shows and cruise nights. What color are you going to paint it? Can't wait to see the final results.

 

[sharp4runr]

Yup, that show rawks!

Josh, please keep the updated coming. It'd be great to follow your progress.

 

[momo.75]

Yep, keep the updates coming. It is really cool seeing the progress.

I wonder what Foose could do with a 4th gen 4Runner? :artist:

 

[the_josh]

thanks guys!
im glad to know that you guys are following my progress. i take pictures every couple days when i get something big done so this whole project will be well documented. so i will be sure to keep on the updates.

hey momo,
when that stage finally comes, i will paint my car Arrival Blue it is a GM color (ppg code91 5968) you can see it on the 2004 escalade ext. it is such a captivating color. it is so bright and rich and it has so many different shades depending on the lighting.

i love overhaulin! im quite sure chip can trick out a 4th in a way we can hardly even imagine, maybe sometime in the future we will see...

Yeah, but we need to wait about 20 years so they will be old enough and have enough sentimental value so that he will have the story behind the work. I love seeing the stories they make up to keep stringing the owner along for a week.

im getting anxious because i haven't been able to do anything more til my engine dollie arrives, it "supposed' to arrive tomorrow so hopefully ill have some more pics soon...
