chris_thobe Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ok guys here is another on that I have started on July 5, 2012. It started as a 64 Impala Lowrider kit from Revell. This thing is going RADICAL lowrider of the year style. Chrome undercarraige, kandy patterns everywhere. This is my first attempt at a custom of this magnatude. Look out because it could get ugly! In the beginning... All cuts have been made, seein how it looks all closed up. Here it is all opened up in carshow mode! This is as far as I have made it so far, besides starting to jam and hinge it.

Wayne Buck Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Wow! Judging by the '62 that you've recently posted, I have a feeling that I should definitely be watching this build! Kinda looks like a Transformers turning into "robot" mode. heh Pretty darn cool! It's kinda lkie a Transformer..........but lower.......... LOL, guess we were kinda thinkin' the same!

chris_thobe Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks guys, this one isn't goint to be a fast build up by anymeans. I am shooting for about 3-4 months. Been messing with all the hinges, trying to get that figured out because I want this thing to close up like a real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_thobe Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I got some of the hinges done.. rear tilt and trunk lid and doors are hinged, haven't messed with the front tilt or hood, and I am not sure how the hell I am going to hinge the roof yet. I will get more pics soon. I have just been really busy the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
