So its official! The year is 2010 and the Tyclone is now a classic. 25 years and older is considered a classic which means it is now emissions exempt!

So the doors are just about ready for paint!





They truck still had a few areas that we found to fix. At this point, its not a 1000 point show car that will win at the next concourse event, but its a pretty darn clean, very unique, and surprisingly quick 1985 Jimmy!

So with the stage we are at now, I think that we'll be seeing color on the truck next week. Unless something drastic pops up... I see blue in my future!

I never noticed before that the phoons had those handles. I plan on doing that handle swap too on my blazer once I can find some donor doors. Build is nice, very thorough.

I dunno man, everything on that stripe looks great except for at the very front of the hood. The passenger's side stripe looks closer to the edge of the hood.
