Robert81 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollinoldskoo Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 yes, the front suspension is from the 70 monte carlo kit.... they put very little effort into detailing the molded on front suspension.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 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!
