Lowlife ! !

Tim, been looking through all your builds lately, love the willys and mustang (any more LSR progress? ) but now this? I`m sure you've heard every compliment going regarding this build, but personally I think your the most talented builder Ive ever seen. Thanks for showing such a detailed build process too, to us less talented modellers, its an amazing inspiration to strive to become better at our hobby...... You sound a real nice guy too, I would be soooo big headed if I built this..... ...... Thanks.... Lowlife ! !

Hey Chris, must admit I don't usually follow drag car builds ( more of a low n` slow kinda guy ! ) but ive caught a couple of builds on here that blew me away ! Yours and the Henry J build are just amazing, stunning attention to detail, I have to look twice at some pics to see if its the real thing or your model !! But what keeps me watching is your motivation, to recreate everything so accurately, and redo things you don't like ( I do this a lot, im my own worst critic...) ...... Lovin all the 3D stuff, and its cool to see how good these various aftermarket bits look on a build like this.. Make room for some trophy`s when its done mate , this thing`s awesome ........ Lowlife ! !

An heres my 64, had the firewall molded and chromed ( in card ) and chrome alclad chassis and engine parts. Floorpan and block are metallic red with clear, which the body will be also.... More soon .. Lowlife ! !

Hey guys ...... ....Hope its not too late to join in, not been on here for a bit.... For those of you that saw my Monte Carlo build last year its now complete, and ive started my next one, a 64 Impala, which will be getting the full fur n` mirror insides.... ... So heres some pics, and good to see some cool lolo`s coming along on here....Lowlife ! ! My Monte Carlo Showcar......... ....

Not been on here for a while, very nice line-up Luke, awesome builds... .....Anyways, like all good lows it needed a name, so ive decided on `The eye of the Tiger ` Should be a excuse to try some murals at least...The interior is done for now, tiger stripes are brush painted and theres a new digital dash ! Going to get it painted soon but im still thinking of Ideas...... ... Lowlife !!

Thanks guys.. im using a yellow primer and then going to add a yellow base with maybe orange fades and a few handpainted murals..... Not certain yet, but the paint and bodywork is where i often struggle , so im taking my time and trying things out and hopefully it will look pretty cool......... Thanks....... Lowlife !!

Some cool rides bein built guys, especially lovin that 57 wagon..... The Monte Carlo has been sittin around but im gonna get back on it, and finish up the interior....Heres a mock up pic, with the new roof cut out, jus working out the interior side panels....Hopefully more progress before not-too-long !!! .........Lowlife ! !

Wow the Caddys looking good Phil , gotta love those flakes youve done........The Monte Carlo's moving along slowly, im blending the rear window frame in and thinking of cutting out a targa style roof.. !! The interior is coming together, just cant decide on seats... Added new battery boxes, dashboard, gold chain link wheel and photo etch pedals,handles and speakers... Hopefully get this in paint soon and start finishing it off....... ........ Lowlife ! !

Wow Mark, awesome mural i cant wait to see it done.... Oh and Luke, Im thinking of hand painting the whole car.... ! !...Yeah its gonna need practice but i can always sand it off.... ..... Bit of an update for ya, didnt like the door panels so ive redone one side ( almost finished.. ) Im just deciding on some new scratch built seats next ! ! The bodyworks coming along, no door handles, shortened bonnet and boot, smoothed scuttle area and blended in front and rear light surrounds...Just fitting all the panels together now, more progress soon ( i hope... ! ! ) ........ Lowlife ! !

Hey Luke i think you got the hang of that airbrush pretty quick.... man that design is awesome .... ....Not criticizing in any way, but id love to see this all in colour......Im smoothin out the Monte Carlo bodywork at the mo, then Im going to try something Crazy for the paintjob... , .you do great paint mate, wish i was half as good as this.... .....Lowlife ! !

Man i finally got to the end of this thread.... ...., im a new guy, and ive read through the hole lot.....Seems a shame to me theres so much of the thread wasted, when there is a fantastic build up going on ! Regardless of what the base car is, i learn a lot from this type of thread.... An being a General Lee fan ive really enjoyed the build... Thanks for sticking with it, you do awesome work, and you must be proud of the standard of detail youve achieved here... .... Lowlife ! !

Got my 59 Impala Convertible in the post this morning.... .....But i think i may try an finish the Monte Carlo first....I enjoy a bit of research when i get a new kit so im just gonna collect a few engine an interior pics of 59's, i may order a few bits too as im out of chrome foil....Hey Mark the 64s comin along really well, ive never tried such an intricate spray job, yours looks great !! And James the engines looking great, love the 70s shape, idea Lolo material..... ...Keep em comin guys i love this thread...... Lowlife ! !

What a great idea..... ....Yeah, i had one too as a kid, and that model is looking great.. ! ! Really cool,, im goin to be watching this one...... Lowlife ! !

Hi Keke........ Nice job on the 63, the colour really suits it with a white roof... And that interior is well detailed too, Cool Lowrider.... ....... Lowlife ! !

Hi Im new on here.... .... Lowlife from the UK....Thought id show my latest ( non-lowrider ! ) model , Built one of these as a kid and wanted to do another for years. The idea is to use most of the parts supplied, just smooth and lower it as i go ! Bit stuck for paint ideas if you have any suggestions...So far its got Plymouth Prowler wheels ( painted in purple nail varnish... ) smoothed bodywork ( top and bottom ) slammed stance and detailed engine. Interior is almost finished too, then its getting it in primer. Anyway heres some pics....Lowlife ! !

Jus to get you up to date with this one, everything i could chrome plate has been done in either chrome from the spares box, or BMF (chrome and gold) and alclad spray... Engine and hydros were plumbed/ wired and its now got a coat of flake on the chassis... Drivers door will be opening, split bonnet and boot, and removed the inner wings. Might add a T top or sunroof too... Interior is felt, BMF sheet, and anything else that fits in...Not decided on paint, possibly a orange pearl with flake ..... Lowlife ! !

Ah that worked, so heres a few more.......

Heres a few of the Monte Carlo so far, takes me ages building these but hey its all good fun ! !

Wow you guys build some seriously cool cars... Im mid way through a Monte Carlo build, and Ive got a 59 Impala on order too, so be posting pics up soon..... Thanks..... Lowlife ! !
