MMMMMM. Love that sound!

 

So yesterday I worked on wet sanding it a bit more. Smoothing out the hard line on the stripes. Slowly but surely.

 

thanks Jason, that worked for me.

not sure why the links weren't coming up on my end.


who doesn't luv the sound of open exhaust?

 

So I installed the front bumper and the bumperettes. Then added the lights to the front end.



Then I decided to grab some thick red pinstripes and mock up my hash marks on the fender.



Its starting to look like a Grand Sport truck!
Kinda reminds me of my old Typhoon. You can see where I got my lights and wheels from! lol

 

Gotta love the paint on the new one though!!

Do you have a set of the side bodykits for the new one?

 

^^^ yeah, he's doing the whole factory Typhoon look to it.

man that was one sharp Typhoon you had Greg.

 

Those are both amazing looking trucks. I'd be happy with either of them haha

 

I have the whole bodykit but have since opted to not use it and use the sonoma GT front end instead.
Thanks guys.

 

People keep asking about the cladding. Here is the story.

In the beginning a had a neat Blazer.


Originally I was planning on just using stock blazer bumpers to keep it cheap. I bought a parts Blazer and gutted it for parts.


Then I found the wrecked Typhoon. I bought that and decided to use the full cladding to a make a Typhoon clone. Thats where I got my full interior down to the harness, my driveshaft, and lots of other misc parts.


So I was going to use the full cladding.


I then found another Typhoon that I could fix with some of the Typhoon parts I had from the wrecked one.



After all my nightmares with broken cladding tabs and the constant question I would get, "is it a real one?" I would proudly reply, "Yes it is 1992 Typhoon #2344." Thats about the time that I realized by using the Typhoon cladding would make the truck a cheap dime-a-dozen copy of a rare truck. So I had to figure out how to use the front bumper cover from the Typhoon. To do this I had to find a pair of Sonoma GT bumperettes. Did I mention that GM only made 806 of them? So I got them and a Sonoma GT gauge cluster, which is the same as the Typhoon's except with no boost gauge. So thats where this truck was going to REALLY be a one of a kind custom Jimmy!


And here we are!

 

So wait... Typhoon you HAD? You had a Typhoon and ditched it? Or do you still have it?

NVM... just read your sig

Either way, this is gonna be really nice when you finish.
