Ahh.., another "Ultimate Adventure" alumni..!! Truck looks SWEET man..! Got any other pics..? I had thought about doing the Avalanche a while ago, but never found a suitable body, Yours looks great..! ( i can tell just by the front end shot..! ) That Proline bumper looks spot-ON..!! Looking forward to see more pics of this rig..!!!

Very cool. I have that exact body that I am painting with a boat and trailer to match it. Looking forward to seeing more.

front bumper. i thought this thing would go right on, but it's straight accross, so i had to do quite a bit of cutting and bending to get it to contour to the grill.

the suspension was folding up on me and my panhard rod that i made for the front just wasn't cutting it, so i took it to a friend of mine's (riffister) shop so he could make me some of his axle mounted upper link mounts. it did the trick and now she's dialed in perfectly.

well, he's only been opened for about 2 weeks. he's still working on the interior, but he'll probably be hiring soon. employees have to relocate to virginia though, lol. he has alot of ex-wrestlers who've been hitting him up for work, so i think applications are stacking up quick.
