Replaced the waterpump on the TYCLONE , and test fit the camaro ss wheels I bought last week.
I think wheels will look great when I get the 1" spacers in the rear.

That's an awesome idea for the double din build.


Me... I polished the truck up a bit. Will finish it up tomorrow.

Looks awesome, but I could never leave it like that. I'd have to finish it.

Removed cluster to address my flipped oil pressure gauge, broken trip meter, and broken HVAC control. While I had the cluster out I figured I would update the lighting a bit with some LEDs (thanks to the writeup by Krupa which made this waaaaay easy :tup:). I also found out that my trip reset button has a broken tab. Anyone have a spare trip meter or have any ideas on how to fix it?

Installed the 1" spacers on the rear of the TYCLONE.
I think it looks great, I just have to find some center caps now.

Driving down I 71, got passed by a guy in a blue Porsche 911. He slows down and gives me a huge thumbs up. After a minute or so of going down the highway, I recognized his car as the one down the street from me (neighbor i have not met). Got off at the same exit and wandered to my street, and pulled in behind him to bs for a few.
He said a few friends had them in the late 90's. he may swing by my place later this month for the meet

Installed new old stock heater core, or should I say had my tech install new core, no time. Who knew babies were so much work, but well worth it. :tup:

Is your cladding painted, if not how is it so good looking?

Yes it is Painted.. It has been Garage Kept For Years, So I sure that helped out
And the truck is Dirty/Dusty in these Pix.. Taken from my S3 Galaxy Camera Phone

Black is EASLIY the best color WHEN CLEAN. When it is dirty, look out.
I really like the painted cladding.
