building a lowrider

[diymirage]

I would not have believed it, if I had not seen it with my own eyes!

A stock car into a low rider?!?!?!

WOW!

You have shown quite the "intestinal fortitude" with such a build!

My plastic building hat is off to you Sir!

Great job! Really like the bondo work on the rear wheel wells, I will attempt said on the '74 Chevelle convert to a '73 Chevelle, as soon as I find the '74 again!

Thank You for sharing

Later

thanks for the kind works

i kinda figured, since the nascars arent truely stock anyway this isnt that far fetched right ?

it is coming along nicely though

i think the last big project last on this build is the headlights

once those are done it should be smooth sailing

smooth sailing ?

huh

arent those famous last words ?

got the headlight done today

i remember a while ago someone posted a trick in the tips and tricks section on some little rhinestone sticker like objects he found at micheals which made great sidemarkers for the 69 chargers

well, i found the ones and bought a sheet of clear ones to simulate projecter style headlights

here is the result

i havent fully decided if im going to leave the headlights as they are or if i am going to put a clear lens over it to sit flush with the rest of the nose

what do you guys think ?

Cool idea to make a low rider from a NASCAR kit. Does it only turn left?

I think you could leave the headlights, or put a clear cover over, either way.

That thing could use white walls, just a narrow wall. Use a circle template with a white gel pen.

it steers just like a bike, by leaning into the turn

as for the whitwalls, i was planning that at one point but then i started messing with the tires and next thing you know i had them gleud in allready
