Convert the 1986 Monte Carlo SS to an LS
Lowridingmike replied to Superbird McMonte's topic in WIP: Model Cars
You’re right. That’s not an Ls clip. These and the ls clips have been popped in resin originally from a guy named jevries for about 20 years, google him. Not the best pics but here’s an early resin ls clip on an old build of mine

Forgot to post pics of first failed race stripes in decal
-
Blue 3m tape for the win!
-
For anyone who hasn’t seen, this is what my lines look like using blue 3m tape. Perfect everytime first try!
-
And I can’t lacquer clear over that white enamel or it’ll react again. Gotta wet sand the texture the tape left in the clear out now. Y’all pray for me. Lol
-
And this crappy lime line brand tape lets me down yet AGAIN! 😤🤬 imma buy some good 3m blue like I’m used to that I know I can lay clean lines with and fix it yet again. That clear has been on for days and it still tried to pull it up as well as the bleed through smdh
-
The white is actually pearl can’t wait to unmask
-
Welp I got bored and went ahead airbrushed it myself. The wife offered several times but I figured might as well pick it up and become acquainted
-
Here we go again! Time to have the wife airbrush the white stripes this time. Lord, please let this 4th paint job go down seamlessly. We are so close now lol😳
-
Thanks mark. It’s been a long road nothing 1:1 and in scale!
-
New pic coming
-
And I pulled my own Lowrider out of hibernation for 6 years put the engine together new fuel tank rewired the whole car etc got it running and ready to finish body work on. We both wanna be in our custom Cars for the summer and it’ll be here before ya know it!
-
For anybody interested this is what I’ve being doing in 1:1. Lifted my wife’s project crown Vic put it on big rims built a crazy system and trunk she muraled and covered the headliner
-
Back to square one yet again… imma fix anything else I see now, reclear, then have my wife just airbrush some satin white stripes after I tape it off. So over this car it’s not funny
-
Sorry for delay been busy with the 1:1s lately. I laid the white race stripe decals and all was looking til be finished til I cleared it with testors laquer wet look clear…. And it all shriveled and wrinkled up. Can seem to get a good paint job on the car to save my life! Welp sanded that BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH off once again!
-
The forgis are awesome! I gotta find some now, just these wheels make me wanna invest in a 3d printer now!

Oh gotta hit the washer bottle with blue sharpie too. Wanted to wait til it was installed first, sharpie rubs off when you handle it.
-
With some radiator hoses we are done up here as well til the body and firewall is in place. And now for the part I’ve been dreading: detail painting and assembling the interior! I may go ahead and finish body decals, stripes, and bmf so it can be final cleared polished and out of the way as well
-
Undercarriage slapped together, with rear shocks it’ll be on its own four wheels soon
-
On the 1:1 the core support is tapered on the outsides so the battery doesn’t quite sit flush to it
-
Motor got dropped in decals and such put on it was a pain making sure everything cleared and sat right I purposely had to offset the battery you’ll see why later lol
-
My wife caught wind to my idle time so it’s been laundry, dishes and cooking for my eternally hungry Sasquatch offspring so I’m not as far as originally desired but some progress nonetheless 🫤
