CabDriver Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Watched this over the weekend and really enjoyed it: The sound is a little shaky at times (they need a better mic that isn’t so directional, it seems) but it’s WELL worth a watch if you want to see some world-class craftsmanship (and jaw-dropping paint). I watched it three times and got inspired and I’m not even much of a lowrider guy! And those display cases! 😍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipped around a bit through the video, but I agree - very impressive. I'm also not normally much of a fan of the low rider style, but there's no denying the skill amd craftsmanship in that segment, both in scale modeling and 1:1. Having said that, his 1:1 Impala is one of the most tasteful low riders I've ever seen, basically taking the already excellent '65 Impala styling and purifying it as much as possible. With a simple wheel change it could look right at home at Autorama, competing against Foose, etc. The fact that he built his 1/25 version first as a prototype for his 1:1 confirms that scale model building should be taken seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'm sure there are a few here who aren't interested in the lowrider scene, but you've got to appreciate the amount of detail and craftsmanship that goes into these builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 This guy's really good. But the thing I enjoy most about watching him is you can tell he loves what he's doing...and that makes all the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I've seen a few of Flores' builds in person (back when Pegasus had a location where I grew up), and they're... just... mind-blowing! It's one thing to see them in photos or video --absolutely fantastic-- but another thing entirely to see them in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrucha Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Thanks for sharing this video. Very cool! I have been following Armando since I first saw his builds in "Lowrider Bicycle" Magazine in the mid 1990's. I have seen his builds at the NNL West the last few years. The most amazing paint jobs I have ever seen on any model cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
