lowriderphil Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 This is right up my building alley so I think I'll join, I'm sure I can finish something by the end of the year. Got an unbuilt Johan snap 79 caddy, and a semi started 64 impala, doors are opened and sunroof cut in but gotta repair a few small breaks.

Dr. Cranky Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I was beginning to wonder where you were hiding out, Phil. Welcome and I can't wait to see what you will cook up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see the Caddy To be honest I just saw it this morning, things have been crazy this year, I was trying to get the car ready for cruising this summer but some expensive repairs killed that plan till next summer so back to building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowriderphil Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Well, maybe I should jump in and post some pics. First up is an unbuilt caddy, gonna keep this one simple Next is a 64 I picked up from a friend slightly started, needs to be stripped and I need to reinforce and then jamb the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Oh yeah, I love that one. Keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdonm Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thank you mark for showing the step by step for basic tape work. Now Luke, by any chance, do you have step by step pixs of your fabulous work? I especially in interested in how you do that over and under work. Someone please show how this is done. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Amazing work by everyone, fantastic graphics and attention to detail, im impressed ! Might just have a go and build a lowrider one day... Luke always good to see your builds again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderphil Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Got the 70 finished up... I'm not too thrilled with the way the hood doesn't quite fit right.... Other than that, here's a teaser pic... I'll post the rest under glass... Dont feel bad, I have built a few of these and the hood never fits right without a lot of tweaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderphil Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 did a little paint testing today, found a new base coat I like for candy type paints Labeled as steel on the can but as you can see looks like a nice metalflake silver L-R: Krylon metal-X red, duplicolor metalcast green and purple leaning towards the red or green for the caddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
