This winter has been very long, depressing and actually created a few changes at QuasiMofosports. 

I have dumped the vast majority of stuff in the garage and cleared a path for a running and nearly driving vehicle. 

A deal on a 1985 GMC Jimmy 2wd 2dr has been struck. It already has a cammed 350 with TH400. It's in matte black but that will have to change. 

Items that I want to do with it will be short and sweet:

1: Lower spindles, springs, tall upper ball joints, rear blocks, quick ratio steering box, home made caltracs

2: 3.73:1 Explorer 8 8, brakes and axles redrilled for 5x4.75

3: High tech tent paint job using bright yella paint and these two mods:

Bravada grille and bumper (if you salvage yarders see one grab it, I want it)

ASC style top cut with black canvas tonneau top (expensive option but I want it) 

Rounding it out is

wearing these

Assuming half of it goes right i will have a flat black V8 Jimmy wearing Trans Am turbo wheels and 200tw tires.

Awesome.
 

What was the 80's TV show with a red open top S10 Blazer? And the internet delivers:  Riptide

Looking forward to this. Will it be a challenge build?

Technically isn't everything a Challenge build now?
