lowriderphil Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Next project on the bench, hoping to be finished in time for NNL Nationals. Not gonna go too crazy just nice and clean. This is my inspiration "Born in East L.A." I'm feeling testors purplicous with all chrome 1109s, possible chrome spokes and purple dishes. phil Edited September 25, 2010 by lowriderphil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 These are the kind of low riders I like. Restored nicely and the wheels sit inside the wheel wells. Your inspiration car has something I've never seen before. I have never seen a low rider with a billet grille. Interesting project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough spare kit bumpers to try the full width billet, if it doesn't work I will just do a billet grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Thanks for keeping the LoLo classic builds on the forum. I admire the hard work that goes into the paint alone. BTW ...straight lace Daytons Rock! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericfreeman Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 When I saw the picture of the 76 low rider model you had on your bench I thought "Hmm, looks more like an 86 or 87". Then I saw the pictures of the car you're building. Boy is my face red! Good luck with whatever you are working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no too thrilled with the testors clear, but its all I had on hand, for the most part its even but a few spots I was nervous about burning through.
