This is a project that I'm working on for 99chevyZR2. At first I went about it all wrong so I started all the tubework over :-( Well I've been meaning to send Andy some pics so I decided to do a build up thread. Here's the 1:1 and I'll post up what I have so far when I get home tonight.

If that's the same rig they did the giveaway for and has the Hummer looking grill up front you can get a poster from BFG that shows a good side shot of it.

No avalanche is still around. Poison Spyder split off from them.

I never heard of them until Andy told me he wanted to make him the KARNIVORE. That's when he sent me this link. http://www.avalancheengineering.com/karnivore
I'm taking me son fishing and hiking/scouting for rocks today, but they're should be some pics tonight.

That looks great! Should be able mount the rear shocks close to where they are on the 1:1.

Why much does it weigh?

What axles will it be running?

Sure is. That's the only way I could think of to replicate the body. Hope it turns out OK.

Looking good, this should turn out great.

I started one a while back but never finished. I've still got my chopped up Hummer clip just in case.
