check Dragon slayers thread about the HOOD guy in MODS section........

a link to this is in there which explains the ride.....
 
Somehow I have a hard time visioning me pulling up to a campground towing a camper down a dusty gravel road with that Av! It looks like it's for show only. Not that I mind looking... (y)
 
His name is LarryD on the forum. Him and his brother own Valanca and the body shop that DragonSlayer is heading to this week.

That is a very interesting, nice, looking truck. A little too much for me but everyone has their own taste, it is all just opinion.
My truck is a daily driver summer and winter, and from the experience of having a dropped Av I can say that that front end would not last much more than a day before it hung up on something. Maybe just pulling into Canadian tire for new bulbs :eek:
 
I could only imagaine what a paint job like that would cost the common man....
 
I saw this truck in person when I took Dragon Slayer's hood up to NY to get finished. I think that Lou is the owner. His brother has a sweet blue AV. Their website is www.valanca.com. They've begun to produce lots of custom fiberglass parts for the AV.
 
looking at the site the fiberglass cladding replacement is the perfect answer for those that want painted cladding. At 3200 bucks, the kit is not cheap, plus painting on top of this, however it eliminates the peeling problem that painted cladding owners are having.

When I use to have a 94 t-bird I was going to put ground effects on it, the kit was going to cost me 2grand, so this kit, including new front and rear bumpers is not really all that bad of a price. Molds had to be made for this, alot of time, effort and money to produce these parts.


As a side note, the front bumper is cool, but would look silly IMHO on a lifted Av, the valance would look out of place..

Awsome products from looking at the site...
