Pulled 85VMX out of storage and stripped.

Painted and mounted the engine. Here's a little pic of the new color theme.

Looking good so far. We were thinking about making a "Midnight Max" at some point but never got around to it.

Very nice paint work....:biglaugh:

Can't wait to see those "midnight Maxim" gold wheels! You can get your side cover emblems gold plastic plated to complete the look. Nice job so far. Yamaha would be proud!

Good job, for someone who says he's not a mechanic, you are producing a quality product, well done.

Thanks guys, here's a couple more pics. I was thinking of painting the rims gold but I thought against it because of the dirt and grime that gets back there. I thought it might be too much to keep clean. The rotors and calipers are gold.

The fake tank, fenders, folks, and air scoop are still red. I tried to get as close to the original color as I can. Not exactly there. Actually, I like the new color better. At some point I will paint them all gold also.
