long going project based on an old MPC kit... almost done.... gettin a tuned port motor from a corvette kit... any questions and comments welcome....

Looks sweet. I'm not a lowrider guy, but I love all El Caminos. The front suspenion looks better than any 80's kit I've seen, is that from the 70 monte?

[rollinoldskoo]

yes, the front suspension is from the 70 monte carlo kit.... they put very little effort into detailing the molded on front suspension....

Thats alot of red!

Looks good, i like those pumps ya got, home-manufactured right??

Now i gotta get home and finnish my 70MC!!

[rollinoldskoo]

yea and i got a 75 caprice promo i'm working on with just as much blue

a buddy of mine makes those hydraulic parts... he's gettin ready to go into full production so if u want more info, let me know...

[rollinoldskoo]

added a bit more detail to the pumps....

Those hydro pumps are awesome! They're machined metal, right? I've been around a few lowriders in my time, they're just not my thing, but this is a clean build like most of them are. I do like the color, and I can't wait to see the engine. Keep it up!

[rollinoldskoo]

yes, the pumps are made from aluminum harder to work with than plastic but the look is unreal...

[JAFFA]

Well a few o those pumps would be nice, but i just dont put very much money into the hobby...

Well the prices are fair, least to say!, but for now i dont really need anything, and i actually have machines for this kinda
stuff in the workshop at home if it would come to that... thanks anyhow!
And you reminded me about the Layitlow forums... i pay too little attention to that site... maybe i should start posting again when i get to work on the -70 Lincoln..

Btw how about some pics of that sweet wagon i saw u was building on the L.i.L. Forums??
