YBlock292 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Since the early 1960s Impalas are usually the base for lowriders, I thought about turning an early 1960s Fullsize Ford Galaxie into a "lowrider". I used a1961 AMT Ford Galaxie kit along with a set of Pegasus wheels. Paint is Tamiya peral white. Edited March 8, 2015 by YBlock292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceMan Collections Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Love it, love it, love it............ .......... Really nice job, love those twin aerials ............ ............ Lowlife ! ! Agree on the aerials. The last pic shows a lower stance up front. Is it adjustable or is it just the angle of the shot? Either way, great job!

62rebel Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 all the AMT platform chassis kits had two or more sets of axle settings, stock, lowered, and sometimes raised for race cars. Johan followed the same formula until they dropped metal axles. the producers of "Thunderbirds!" used a LOT of AMT kits for their program, they slotted the axle holes and slipped pieces of foam rubber inside to act as "suspension" for making the cars appear to "drive" along their roadways... whatever, though; that's a strong looking Ford.

Albie D Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The ol' Ford takes the barrio look very well! Love your foil and antennae, slow and low... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBlock292 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Thank You, guys! As 62rebel wrote, You have the choice between several holes in the chassis to put the metal axles in - no problem in the engine department, since the model doesn't have a motor - so it is possible to lower or rise the car for the photographer.
