For those wanting Avalanche SS project pix

Ms. AntiVenom

Vicious Evil Person
I will just put them here instead of waiting for you to come by to see:lmao:

This is the truck I got for less than a set of new corvette tires:rofl1:
With the help of fellow corvette owner Jemie @ Acme Garage in Tampa.

She had a bent frame , suspension broke in half, But a motor with only 7,000 miles on it.. She needed a whole new front clip, I was thinking about turning her into a Escalade EXT but we had allot of pieces for a Silverado SS and that would be a very rare site.. so

Alrighty, She will be home Tuesday, and you will get some finished shots.
Not bad for something that couldn't be saved....lol
 
Nice! Greg showed me the painted shot today when I was at the shop. Looks great! Too bad you will never get to drive it.:D
 
Thats alright Steve. I took possession of the 51 ford and its just my size:lmao:


BTW for those that know, It was MY TRUCK! and he was nice enough to get me an aftermarket hood! Since it needed one

anyway, This is @ my eye Level, With the seat fully adjusted:lmao:, So I have a VUE now.

We just started the wet sanding/ buffing process as you can see on the hood.


Nose to Nose with Gregs original heavy Chevy, aka AntiVenom the cobra killing truck:lmao:

She will be pulling up all finished here in a moment, I cant wait to see it. well I dont care how it looks, it better hit the track as fast as I wanted it to:lmao:
 
Finally finished

Hard to believe a junkyard wouldn't give more than 1500 for her.

Its sucks, even my mother is over 6ft tall, and here I am 5.1 ft, But there is allot of advantage to being short:lmao: Im cool with the 51 ford, Id rather have it anyway. Its faster..

Ive been calling Greg out allot, I will stop after his turbos are installed then it would be too fair of a race.:rofl1:

How are you Mrs. Kelli? I'm stuck at home with 2 sick kids

:lmao: you are so funny !!! Being short does have its advantages !!! I am 5'5 not tall not short but I wish I was about 2 inches taller sometimes !!

I am good my little one was sick this weekend but getting over it thank goodness.... its all going around I guess... I cant wait to see warmer weather.

Been busy which is a good thing, but Chris wont get to go to Sebring because he as too much to do... I know he wants to go but business is 1st !!

I cant believe you guys made that avalanche turn out so good!!!! I love it !!

If only the previous owner could see it now :)
 
The paint is excellent! Sweet look and the hockey stripes work well on the "Avie".

I'll drop by the shop to give her a personal look when I get back from doing the Philly Auto Show.:thumbsup:
 
The truck

The truck turned our great. I have been watching this project progress with the pictures you post. I have been a loyal GM truck buyer for many years. I just don't understand why GM can't build anything that looks half that good.
:thumbsup:
