Wow. That is looking sweeter than ever. I'm glad to see that you went with that color combo for the lift gate decal. It makes it pop better.

It looks like you have those hash marks folded in under the hood? Are they going to be long enough? lol. My suggestion would be to take the fender off, and fold the ends of the hash marks under the lips of the fender, and then clear coat. But, that is your call.

It's been almost a month, and I haven't seen any new posts. What's up? Any new details?

Greg hasn't been on since the 16th so.... i assume he hit the gas pedal a little too hard and is stuck in an infinite burnout through life... or just busy with work and family lol

Sorry, Texas summer is too hot to work on trucks. Between that and the kids off for the summer, leaves me with little time (I have four kids ages 1-16) ack...

It has been soooo hot here in Texas that I have had no desire to go out in the shop and work on swapping the dash from one truck to the other.

When the Tyclone is done it would be fun to autocross, but I would have to upgrade to coil overs ($1500) and maybe a 4 link ($$$$$) to be competitive. So I decided to buy a cheapy $850 Miata and go play. Well the Tyclone has looked so lonely, I had to make it a mini-me. And thats what I did. I bought the Miata on Aug 11th afnd its just about ready to go now.

The day it was delivered to me


Fixing hail damage and lots of dents all over. 20 years of abuse! lol


After some bodywork and de-trimming


IN the booth getting jambed.


Twins!

OMG!!! I want that Miata! lol. I wouldn't fit in it though. Seriously, my head would go through the roof, and my knees would be in the dash, and that's not sarcasm.

Thats cool! Any engine upgrades, Or any type of performance enhancing goodies?

I watched autocross a few weeks ago. Pretty entertaining for me. My GF didn't seem to want to stay too long. Even after I told her a twin turbo silvia was coming up. Girls lol
