"Dazed And Confused"

[Modemagic]

I'm new around here... so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Dave, and I'm from Davenport, IA. Fairly new to the Honda scene, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.

Here's a few pix of my catruck, "Dazed And Confused". I've still got a ways to go with the interior.. work is busy and I'm waiting on a few parts still, but its slow but sure. Link to my pix are in my profile.

[Bryan]

[jayp6969]

[NotFast]

I've seen that on streetsourcemag.com, you should call it el honda

[SteveDX89]

That's been posted before but it's still cool. That must have taken a ton of work to get that looking cool like that. Welcome to the board. Hopefully you get more crazy ideas to add to your Accord.

[erics86dx]

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Hey man you need to bring that up to the Minnesota meet this summer! I know there's about 6 people coming from IA so you could too. It's at the Mall of America in mid-June.

[NXRacer]

thats awesome that the creator of that pickup thingy finally joined. There were some pictures of it posted up here a couple times but nobody knew who owned it. Welcome aboard!

[JakeEXLS]

ThAT. Is. AWESOME. As said, that must of taken a lot of work, but that is sooo cool - really original. I wouldnt mind doing that to mine - but thats copying :tongue:

Welcome Any-hoo!

[DanLXI88]

[my86dx4dr]

[blazin3gen]

dude nice car glad u joined us, when i first saw your car i said DAMN :wow: this guy must love his 3rd gen lol

good work!

[Cyric_accord]

Hey Mode, glad you finally joined here.

I've been talking to him since hejoined CLAC a little while ago, tried offering a trade of my coupe for it :)

[Modemagic]

Ok, to answer some questions I've had emailed to me... first off, I need to post more recent pictures of it, I'll do that probably tomorrow so u can see some more recent work I've done since those pictures were taken. The car has 111k miles on it.. and only had 104k since I started the transformation.

Those bars that span the bed were simply the supports that I had made to support the tonneau cover. It does have a tonneau cover now, yes homemade by yours truely. Its 1/2 MDF fiberglassed for waterproofing, then 1/2 foam layed on top of it wrapped in black vinyl. It does open using the old factory trunk hinges. Oddly enough the bed is VERY functional. I've held several hundred pounds of tools back there with no problems.

Those are the factory C-pillars pushed forward, but obviously not the factory rear glass. It came from a Volkswagon Rabbit.

The rims explained - an 80's look to it. The rest of the car has a late 80's feel to it.. so why not 15" aluminum blades.. besides.. they're light! ;)

Motor is basically bonestock at this point. I never knew this site even exsisted till I found a link buried in www.chicagolandaccordclub.com and thought I'd give it a look. I'm glad to be here... I need more ideas. :)

Suspension is lowered 2 1/2 inches with a drop kit. I'm thinking of just bagging the car here in the near future, but that'll depend on time. I am an installer for a living, you name it and I can prolly install it. From sunroofs to simtops, radios to rims.. fiberglass work, etc. I can do it. The accord is a project and practice. :)

My86dx4dr - Thanks for the props and the linkage. good to know the people like it or hate it.. I don't care, just as long as I get a rise out of you. I've had people pull me over just to get a closer look at it, and people pull me over just to try to light it on fire.

Why??? Why not???

Any other questions.. just ask me! :)

[erics86dx]

people shouldnt try to light it on fire, thats mean

[Modemagic]

Took a few more pictures and posted them up. Use the link on my signature.

[pimp_n87LXi]

Still FWD?

[Forgar_88]

??? That is the craziest thing I have seen lately! Dude good job on it and lets see it with a 4x4 conversion! Ralley racin too!

[Modemagic]

pimpn87 - Yup.. still FWD bone stock motor and manual tranny. newer plugs, wires, clutch, blah blah blah, but not modifications done to it other than OEM style replacements.

Forgar - crazy yes, definately. Ironically most people hate it. "Waste of time" "Don'tcha have anything better to do?" "Why?" I've heard it all...

[Modemagic]

Cyric Accord - Did you ever talk to your dad about his F-150? :p

hehehe....

[Elijah]

O.K how long did this take?And wherent you scared starting this project that it wouldnt work?What would make you think of it where you board?Anyway mad props what alot of work.Looks good.I drive a 3g to try and be origanal.I guess I'am not the only one!!

[whyterice]

Pretty neat idea. I'd like to see more shots of the interior and more pics of where pieces were grafted together...you should call it "El-Accordian".
