I have an eclectic taste for building. Here's my one and only lowrider to date. I was in a slump and my friend challenged me to build a lowrider to match the diecast lowrider bike I had on my workbench. I did have a ton of fun and tried a new technique for masking my first attempt at flames since returning to the hobby 4 years ago. The wheels are Hoppin' Hydros.
Great job. To answer your question that is a Lindberg 61 kit.

Bomb
in Model Cars
Nice one the Pachukas would be proud. I sure do like the bombs. I agree on the swamp cooler. THere are alot of cool accessories one could put on a model like that. A stop light viewer on the dash would be cool too.

That is really nice. I like it alot.

Man thats sweet, excellent job.

KT got your email. I will check my schedule but my wife usually has to run a Special Olympics event that weekend.

I like to use Dawn Power Dissolver. Its a grease cutter made for pots and pans. A half hour or so in a plastic bag with some in it and a rinse in hot water and its clean.

Thanks for posting. It was fairly overcast here in Denver last night but I was able to see it pretty well from my favorite TV chair.
Great pic BTW

Sadly though, given where I live in Iowa, the change of seasons is about the only thing that isn't boring.......
Nothing against it, but if circumstances were different, I'd be in a bigger city somewhere, (including Iowa)!
Ahh yes Shenandoah ( Shen to the locals ) sure is a sleepy little place, used to remind me of Mayberry. I Was born there. Have spent many weekends there visiting and it even bored me when I was a little kid. LOL!
I have not been there in years, possibly since RAGBRAI went through there in 89 or so.

Great concept and start there. Another suggestion to avoid the kinked tubing is to insert a wire in the tube and then bend it.

Tell them I said thanks for founding this website! It's the perfect place for me to get answers about the subjects I model!
You could really thank them by subscribing to the magazine that funds this site.

Seems that they may.....
Thanks, as i want to build a chopped, but unfinished version of the Merc.....
That will be cool. There is an articel on painting welds in this months issue of ...... well that other magazine.

These are the mulit piece items with wire looms and 3 differnet distibutor tops for a 4/6/or 8 cylinder right?
What I like to do is thread 4 wires ( double length ) through the disc that goes on the top of the distibutor first. This gives me something to hold onto when I glue the top in place and now I don't have to worry about the wires pulling out. Then I epoxy that to the top of the distributor. Run the wires through the looms. Route the wires to the plugs and trim to length. add boot, drill hole , insert

Outstanding work! A little detailing? I would say that engine is very detailed.
As fo rthe language , you could give english lessons to some of the kids on this and other forums

I sure like them both Dave. Nice work, I have always had a soft spot for v-Dubs. I have owned several 67's and quite a few Rabbitt/Golfs.

Holy Cow look at that decal sheet!!!!!!
-
I used primer but I might need to put more coats on. I also sanded the bubbles and excess paint and resprayed it and it worked. I could have stripped it but I couldn't find any more bottles of that color spray paint. I think my main problem was spraying when it was a windy day. Thanks for your help guys.
Too much paint sprayed too close is my guess. glad you got it fixed, post some more pics.

Ben email me. No Pro but thats an easy 1 piece mold.

Nice celan build there. Too much black IMHO, even the samllest accent would really set it off( please take no offense I mean this as constructive). One or 2 bits if chrome or raw metal or even a splash of red. THese bikes are a blast aren't they?
-
I have an uncle that used to live in Shenandoah, they put on a great rodeo if I remember correctly.
Close , thats actually over inSydney if I remember right.
I sure wish I could hit this show they do a nicew job. I went to one in February a few years backa nd had a blast.

I'm in Shenandoah IA, about an hour or so SE of Omaha. 8)
I was born there! Nice little town

That is so cool, big fan of Gassers myself. First model I ever built was the Revell 53 Panel Gasser
