Truck looks great Greg. Keep up the great work.

I love the finished wheel trim, bumperetts and door handles.

It's really coming together nicey. Get those doors finished and start driving that thing.

Looks good but why not run ZR1 wheels to match the Grand sport theme you have going?

I dont want people to get confused between the two. I mean the lines look so similar. hahah

I like the 18" wagons better and they were CHEAP! lol

So last weekend I hosted a car show at my work. I got the majority of the exterior completed on the Tyclone before the show. I called up one of our customers who is the original owner of a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport. Made for some good pics! hehe

Damn, the truck looks great! I love how the wheels turned out, what did you use to paint them?

How come you decided to ditch the red stripes on the driver's fender like your avatar shows?

We taped them off and stuck em in the booth. They are satin black, but I think I'm gonna do gloss black instead.

that was a test fit in the pictures. I am having some made for me to match the grand sport.

Wow, your wheel fitment is damn near perfect. Out of curiosity what size wheels and tires are you running (Backspacing, diameter, etc)? Do your fronts rub at full lock?

I think you'll like the rims much better glossy black. I still need to lower the front end maybe 1/2" or so to make it look perfect (even though the tires on the front are the same size as the tires on the back, they look more "rubber bandish" with the front at stock height), but it's getting there:

You're kidding, right? "Getting there"? Compared to the photo in your post? He's been there and long, long gone, dude.

Greg, the stance is perfect. Don't change a thing (except adding the hash stripes)..

Hw would it look with a white "GMC" on the grille? or too much?

Re: Project Tyclone SS: 85 Jimmy, LT1, AWD, etc
