Ryan Minch: 1992 Eagle Talon

Ryan Minch had taken a break from owning DSM cars for a couple of years, having owned six different first-gen DSM cars before this 1992 Eagle Talon. When the car you see here popped up for sale nearby, he knew what he was about to get himself into. He didn't intend to go as far as he did with this build, but we all know how that goes.
