Lowridingmike Posted February 21 Author Posted February 21 Undercarriage slapped together, with rear shocks it’ll be on its own four wheels soon 1
Lowridingmike Posted February 21 Author Posted February 21 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 7
Lowridingmike Posted February 21 Author Posted February 21 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.
Lowridingmike Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 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!
Lowridingmike Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 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 1
Lowridingmike Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 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 1
Lowridingmike Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 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! 1

ybsluos Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Micah your work is fantastic in 1:1 and in scale! Your wife’s murals on her car are amazing. Both your cars are amazing. Looking forward to your Camaro! -Mark
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 Thanks mark. It’s been a long road nothing 1:1 and in scale!
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 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😳
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 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
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 The white is actually pearl can’t wait to unmask
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 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
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 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
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 For anyone who hasn’t seen, this is what my lines look like using blue 3m tape. Perfect everytime first try!
Lowridingmike Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 Forgot to post pics of first failed race stripes in decal
