Mr.1/16th Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Well everyone i'm back on the chopping block and this time it's for a good cause. The new owner of a Low Rider Legend has asked to have a replica of the full custom 1995 Corvette "All Wrapped Up". Since i have had the honor of working with and for the previous owner from Chicago and with one of the head liners from Low Rider for many years, it seemed fitting to give back to the History of Low Rider. i will post a few pictures and a video and you can get the just of the build. Enjoy!!

Mr.1/16th Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) HERE IS A SHORT VIDEO OF THE WAY I SENT IT OUT FOR PAINTING AND ALL THE MODS THAT I DID TO IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT BACK TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER FOR THE LAS VEGAS SUPER SHOW Edited September 27, 2011 by Mr.1/16th
eviltwincustoms Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Outstanding job! So when you sent the body out for paint, did you take it all back apart? The hinges look pretty tight, any concerns with over spray or clear coat, making the clearances even tighter or making it so the hinged parts dont work?
Mr.1/16th Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 i made everything fit with some clearacne and the hinges were made from flat chrome metal and formed to the doors. everything made it wih no problems and i sent it all taken apart and wrapped up with bubble wrap. everything will be shipped back this week and i should have it by monday and ready by friday and on the road to vegas.

Please take some close up pics, as I would really like to see not only the paint details but also your work on the hinges and details you did to the actual car. The video is great but not like having up close pics to view. Very impressive work you do I must say!
Mr.1/16th Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 you got it!! i will take some good pictures of it once it gets here and i will fill the order!
baddgass Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Lets see them pics. brother Santiago. M.C.B.A. allthe way!
eviltwincustoms Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I have to ask, I was on your forum and saw you have a 1/16 40 Willys in Resin. Where did you find this and how can I go about acquiring one?
Mr.1/16th Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 the resin 41 willys will be available very soon as they are getting recasted by RMR and i will have a few new pictures soon! all i know it's in primer still.
Mr.1/16th Posted October 1, 2011 Author Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Here are a few pictures that he sent me. Edited October 1, 2011 by Mr.1/16th
stump Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 SANTIAGO, that IS some wild work (read = incredible... ) you're doing there mate, and a FANtastic tribute as well. I really liked the video, that's a nice touch, as it allows us to see the parts in action..That's something pics can't do as well. Really (really) looking forward to seeing this come alive with paint man.
Mr.1/16th Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Well Family it's 85% done and it made the show with the real Vette and not even 10 minutes on the turn table and it got an segment on "Telemundo News". here are a few pictures of the 1:1 replica as of now.
Mr.1/16th Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 here's a very short video of the vette. http://s1093.photobucket.com/albums/i423/sema2010/?action=view¤t=VIDEO0089.mp4
Mr.1/16th Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 took some pictures outside the house before leaving to the show. let it shine!!
Mr.1/16th Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Even got some love from the ladies!!
Mr.1/16th Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 it was a great show and it took me back to the dayz when i use to work for LRM and the Jhagroo Family with "Wrapped With Envy" across the USA for Ten years. still good to know that i'm remembered for all my hard work and dedication to the Low Rider Inc. Biggs and I are Proud Members of MCBA/SoCalInc and LRm is going to be seeing alot more from our Chop Shops.
Prostreet Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 that looks amazing, great job. That paint really pops.
