Hey Andy, I see now that you also had problems getting a hold of Aaron,I ordered my kit 2.5 weeks ago and he said he would start building it right away, ever since then I can not get a hold of him, I have millions of questions to ask him and of course would like to know a rough estimate on when I can expect it to land here, any tips? haha

also what bumps are you using up front?

 

pm'd ya

the bumps were what he offered. I think they are ORW brand, same as his limit straps.

 

ok thanks, I feel a little better now, I just cant wait to hear that I have a package waiting for me

 

yeah I hear ya. its a big package for sure, I think it came as one big one and 2-3 smaller ones with the shocks, axles etc. and a big ole box of metal

 

wooo, supposed to be shipped out this friday!

 

awesome, weekend project! haha

 

Time to scrape the rust off this project thread!..and the truck, got my baby back!

big work ahead for it, over time. I do not expect to get it done for much in the next year. I'm going to strip it down and remove the drivetrain etc. and get started on a really good frame off rebuild and make it how I really want it. badass motor, lots of metal, awesome guages new paint etc.

shes in pretty rough shape now, lots of surface rust, broken mirror, and the motor. But It will be nice having a no pressure slow build up how I really want it

 

Nice! Selling the nova now?

 

nah I'm keeping it for a while. I'm getting my kicks with that till atleast I'm done with the ranger. If it comes down to it the only reason I'd sell it is to buy a sweet motor to drop in the ranger and then save the rest if I don't see a way to afford it otherwise

 

Awesome

 

YESSSSSS!¡!!¡

Lol, it sent a notice to me that it was sold. I made the thread hahaha!

 

So, got any recent pics?

 

nah i didnt get any, was dark when I drove it home. Take some tomorrow

 

Howd it feel getting back behind the wheel of that beast??

 

missed it, now just can't wait to get working on it

 

i hope you at least try to flinstone it at the dunes

 

Haha. Andy, glad it went to a good home. Im also glad I didn't impulse buy it.
You should consider the cantilever kit and throw a bed on it.

 

So what did you end up paying for it?

Always liked this truck. Glad to see its back

 

Woooooooohoooooooo! I'm stoked for you Andy

 

Congrats on getting it back! Can't wait to see some more work done!

 

Awesome, let me know if you ever want a hand on anything i'd for sure drive up there and help ya out.

also, if you have anything you want to get rid of, let me know and i might be interested.

 

Stellar news! Good to hear its back in the right hands!
