Re: Project Madera: A Jimmy GT

So a little background on the name "Madera", My projects are named after where they came from, the Jimmy came from Madera, CA just North of Fresno. The truck is being built as a canyon carver but also as a hauler for the bikes I restore, err mod, which are overhead cam, 4 valve Honda singles. The 2 twin '72 XL250s that will be in the back I call "Monterey" and "Mohave" after where they are from. The bikes, which started out as dual sports now look fairly original at casual glance but are in reality pretty modified machines and themselves built for canyon carving. After this project is done I plan on also doing a fairly radical Honda single Café Racer. Anyway, all early '70s, all 4 valve per cylinder, all silver with black and red accents, all done with respect to the period they are from for the most part, you get the idea. Here's the bikes:
