Naydrus Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Very pretty! The image on the trunk, is that a decal? My wife thought it might have been one of those temp tattoos at first... but it does look awesome.

Ryan S. Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Great job on this one. It looks just right. I used to be into lowriders but not so much anymore, but this one looks great. Not over done, still maintaining the lines of the 'lina, and not a lot of graphics. Nice choice of wheels and tires too.
Dr. Cranky Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Man, I think you did a great job on this. You are a low-rider natural!
DRG Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 An absolutely fantastic job. Looks great. But, how could anyone do that to a fantastic car like that. Sorry, but I am old fashioned.
Naydrus Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 your wife is 100% correct.. the decalas on the trunk an the window are in fact temp tattos... good eye ..lol Nice! That gives me a idea to try applying them to my own projects! Do you do it like normal, or is there a trick?
mopar01lee Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Nice! That gives me a idea to try applying them to my own projects!

1972coronet Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 While I'm no fan of the newer-styles of Low Riders , I must congratulate you on your build . Catalinas certainly were used as Low Riders , but mostly by Caucasians . I used to see Riviera , Toronodo , Grand Prix, Catalina , etc. , etc. , used as L.R.'s all of the time where I grew up . They were slightly different from the 'typical' , classic Low Rider customs : they usually had Astro Supremes , Cragar S/S ( 13" variety ) , 50's-style paint schemes , and were affixed in their lowered ride height . There were other subtle differences , but they still shared a common thread with their Hispanic , Afro , and Asian ( yes , our Asian brothers hopped-on the 'wagon , too ) brothers rides . Someday when my ship comes in , I want to build a 1:1 1955 F-100 Low Rider in 60's-era garb ( Muntz 4-Track player , Organ Pipe Speakers , Astro's , the whole 9 .
