1958 Plymouth lowrider

[The Modeling Hermit]

 

It's been years since I've attempted a lowrider or any type of custom.  This one didn't start out that way, but took on a life of its own.

What a good looking Plymouth.  Great looking paint job.  The stance looks pretty kewl.  Nice job.

Looks great!   The paint and "table cloth) pattern  on the rook are very nice

Great looking Low Rider. You have a lot of good looking paint treatments going on. Did you alter the roof line on this ? Just seems lower in the C pillar area to me.

The roof is as it comes in the kit.   It was one of the complaints about that kit when it first came out.  In reality, it would have been a little crushing for rear seat passengers, but it does ad to the sleekness of what I was going for.   The only concerns that I had with the kit was that it has warp issues, most of which I worked out, but I didn't notice the front fenders until I had the car nearly built and was attempting to put the grill/headlights on.   Between rubber bands and clamps, I was able to get something that I could live with, but it still has a little of the old 1960 era JoHan promo 'smile'.

Sweet lowrider! Excellent paint and striping. 

Is the lace paint or a decal?

Gorgeous low rider, I love it! Great job on the paint and stance!

Wild. That car lends itself quite well to a low rider build. Makes you wonder why there aren't more of them.

Unusual subject for a lowrider build but very well executed! Great paint job!
