I’ve been out trying to get some really nice pictures of the car this evening.

Cleaning up the shop this evening and gave the Typhoon a quick detail as I’ve neglected it lately. Been working on my wife’s Tahoe and got it all back together only to have the front cv axle shaft snap had to get away from it.

That car turned out well. Looks very cool.

Thank you it has been a labor of love. I just did a comparison pic to the day I got it. A lot has changed.

Because of the rarity I'm glad your keeping the V6. It's not fast by any means but it is original to the car. In my opinion I say keep it as close to stock as possible. The wheels do look good.

I personally like the v6, I knew when I was building this car I didn’t want a tire shredding machine, my goal was a fun, comfortable cruiser and I think I have achieved that it is a blast to drive. I have all the stock parts I didn’t throw anything out

Im happy TOO you stuck to the originality of this awesome ride! Me and a friend had an in depth conversation the other day about the cars and trucks of today, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000hp!!!????? Ok, i get the adrenaline rush from 0-60, but where in the h@#$ can you go 150 -200MPH!!!??? What good is it, I mean really?! Id take this car all day long, nice cruiser, decent mileage, and the rare factor is just awesome to me...my own opinion, if anyone doesn't like my opinion, write down your thoughts and curse words, and then throw the paper in the trash :p
