Some cool rides bein built guys, especially lovin that 57 wagon..... The Monte Carlo has been sittin around but im gonna get back on it, and finish up the interior....Heres a mock up pic, with the new roof cut out, jus working out the interior side panels....Hopefully more progress before not-too-long !!! .........Lowlife ! !

Thats awesome, it reminds me of "los vegas". But I think I like the monti better. Are you planing on yellow? or is that a primer?

[Lowlife ! !]

Thanks guys.. im using a yellow primer and then going to add a yellow base with maybe orange fades and a few handpainted murals..... Not certain yet, but the paint and bodywork is where i often struggle , so im taking my time and trying things out and hopefully it will look pretty cool......... Thanks....... Lowlife !!

Here we go again. I did some test fitting for my Stepside. It fits in correct ride height in the front when using the Custom axle from the kit, but I had to saw little material off from the back to get it sit right. The rear end can't be lower without frame modifications, and I don't want to do them for this. So it's going to be on this ride height when finished. Now needs to show some paint for the chassis parts.

[W-409]

More pictures of the Stepside. I started assembling the body parts together, to get it painted. Anyways now there is some need for putty, because parts didn't fit as well as they should have:

[W-409]

However, the chassis is on four wheels now. Parts fit very nicely and stance is pretty good. Front end could be bit lower, but rear end can't, otherwise rear axle would hit to the frame, and I don't do modifications to the bed, because I want to keep the body as it came from the factory.

Alright if I join? I've got a '96 Impala SS coming and a set of wire wheels on hand and was planning on making a lowrider with it.

Jump on in ...the more the merrier ! ! !

[Jordan White]

Cool! Once I get the kit I'll get started. I've already picked out the green I'm going to use, and the wheels are going to be a set of 17" Fujimi gold wire wheels that I just received.

Well, been awhile since I touched a model, been spending the summer playing with the 1:1 95 caprice



I had to sell the 74 caprice to pay a bill but I still have the 79 glasshouse caddy in the works. I sprayed some
dupli-color metalspeks silver and then a top coat of Killer Cans lime green. Gonna shoot the vinyl top probably
in a darker green with matching interior, maybe with some white accents thrown in.



In wanting an oldschool feel I used the stock wire wheels with pegasus rings and 520s and the center cap from
a 59 impala for an old cross lace true ray look.

[lowriderphil]

trying to make up my mind on stance, probably will go fully slammed. Also change the chrome rings to ones from the 70 impala kit.

[Dr. Cranky]

Nice progress on the builds. I like it slammed.

[moparmagiclives]

Nosed up, but a little higher.

[rustymodeler]

Slam that puppy.

[lowriderphil]

Wasn't fully satisfied with the green, it needed a little something extra. Its hard to see but I shot some copper and green flakes on top.
Click on the last picture for a short vid.

Well I must say ive been slack and not commented or posted in this topic for quite awhile.My apologies.
But it is good to see its still an active C.B with some good builds in progress.

Ive still have a 65 Impala in progress for this C.B and im hoping to complete it soon.
I just started a new Lowrider build and figured id post it up in here.

Amt 67 Chevelle.

Still in the verly early stages,so far ive set the ride height,removed the A pillar vent windows and started smoothing out the body.
Being that I wanted the ride height so low, it had to be built as a curbside.
And yes it will be Black

Luke ...Man you just gotta let us know how to take crisp pics...Your'e killing me...hahahaha

Likewise ...my 57 Ford wagon is giving me the stink eye from across the bench.

[Cool Hand]

Stink eye Looks real good James.

For pics,I just use a mini tripod,set the timer and use macro on the camera.

[Dr. Cranky]

Great to see some new work started. Hope you guys keep the eye candy coming.

Heavily trimmed down 65 Impala chassis, not 100% accurate but offers better detail then the promo chassis.
