I don't really post here very often. There are a few builds I follow on here and occasionally post in...

But anywho- I'm kind of semi-satisfied with where my current project is.

Thought I would share some pix. Not everyones cup o tea?

 

clean man

 

Damn thing is sweet man

 

I love it. Simple, clean, effective.

 

oh my God, this is beautiful.

 

What a beaut!

 

thanks everybody!

 

Damn Really clean wagon!!!

 

always enjoyed your builds.

 

Love it!

 

PC'd CF48s.

 

Nice wheels, not sure on the color choice

 

Anytime Billboard builds a car, it comes out amazing.

 

I love the car, and the CF48's are a perfect choice... but I'm just not sure the color's jive together in my eyes. But, far be it for me to judge someone else's goods. That's their choice.

 

Yeah that seems to be the consensus...

Thanks dude!

About the color choice... I dunno, to me, the wagon is old, square, faded and there is something kind of drab about it- kind of? I thought, lets go the complete opposite of that. I think it works. Or at least it works for me, so thats good. The opposite of gold/tan/brown on the colorwheel is green/teal/blue, that was my second choice. But I don't care for blue and couldn't find a shade of blue that I liked... Well there was Tiffany blue but I couldn't pull the trigger..

 

I knew you had a legitimate reason for going that route, and in all fairness, it doesn't detract from the overall appeal of the car. I just am not much for the brightness of the color against the more muted tones behind it. But, again, that's entirely subjective.

I love the car as a whole.

 

Thanks dude. I still got plans... I think


Went to car show. Also I made an armrest out of old skateboards I had piled up... Probably not going to be a popular choice with some of you OEM Honda purist (which I consider myself to be), but its a temporary solution and kind of funny.

 

Do you have a bunch of multi-colored core skateboards? If so, that'd be a cool way to make a laminated stand for your armrest. Tons of color, and relatively cheap material cost.

 

What do you mean by stand?

here is the base of the armrest.. its all made out of old skateboards too. Although I had to use the (non color side) for the shape to fit the contour of the floor. I took the old grip tape off.

put in rag top.






and some photos from wagon meat and cruise over the weekend...

 

Basically how you have your base setup, if you had some skateboards with multi-colored cores to see the varied colors, it would be cool.

Example:

 

Very nice!

 

Very cool build. I saw on your flickr there's a picture of a wood shift ****, is that a custom piece?

 

It is. It was made by @Foxdesignetc on instagram, great guy.
