"Yo Quiero Taco Bell".... A Mike Buff's Tribute
As Shown In BMX Action Magazine April 1983 
For Me, Mike Buff And His "Taco Bell Special" Were Among The Most Representative Factors In The Early Freestyle Years (Along With Bob Haro And RL Osborn's Murray)....
So Here Is A Small Tribute
2009 BMX-Addicts "TACO BELL Happy Meal Special" 
STILL MISSING THE BLUE ACS STOKER SEAT... NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT... I TRULY ENJOYED DOING THIS PROJECT.

Bike looks sick! 
Great job on this one, very clean build.
My first bmx bike was a Huffy Pro Thunder.... I was a fan ever since.

Green 85 GT World Tour - Complete, but could still use some white brakes and levers
Green 86 GT Interceptor - needs sticker set and a decision on what wheels to use.
White 85 Hutch Wind Styler - just needs front brake cable installed.

Awesome build.
How about posting some pics of your BMX museum?
Having the project is what makes me happy, finishing it isn't something I think about.
