candilove Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 luke i use house of kolors and duplicolor for bases sometimes
wgflatliner Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Luke you have a knack for black! I can't wait to see some fancy work from you
W-409 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 WOW, I'm rarely drooling, but now I am. That Chevelle turned out FANTASTIC! Paintjob is beautiful, and I dig the stance. Your know how to make these Lowriders look cool. Some Stepside pictures too, the engine is now at this point. Otherwise it's built box stock, but spark plug wires and some linkage for the transmission are the things, I've added. Air Cleaner is also aftermarket stuff. I will continue with more detailing soon.
JustBill Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Guys I gotta say, thanks for having me. This is a wounderful thread with some insperation for sure! I came across this thread last night and it got me all pumped up to hit the bench. Its funny that Cranky has picked a Ranchero cause that's on my lowrider build list as well so I'm real interested to see what he has bubbling in his head and watch it come to life. I could go on about all the builds happening in this thread but you guys would be here awhile! Haha! On to what's on the bench..... I started this Olds Cutlass at the end of last year but life and lack of interest got in the way. Here's some pics I took as I went through to where I am now plus the last two pics will be as it sits tonight as I just pilled everything on the bench to take pics and get my marbles together. I have the ride height set, and wheels picked out. I'm not gona have this much camber this is just a mock up... After sanding on the plastic body for three days to smooth the plastic I primed with Dupli white, then shot a base coat of Testers Diamond dust, then shot MM Plum Crazy, and cleared with Dupli acrylic lacquer. I have the trunk and left side of the car polished, still have to do the hood and right side. And finally what it looks like on the bench right now. I got some engine pieces painted but nothing assembled. I had the chassis painted but had to strip. I hope the community is cool with this and I will start working tonight and keep you guys posted. The builds on this thread are looking GREAT guys! Keep it up!
Joker Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Wow Bill ..that Plum paint rocks Glad you joined the "Tour" @ Niko ..Nice heartbeat To the rest of the 2012 Lowrider Tour member community .Quality work and Creativity. I'm learning a lot..thanks fellas
Dr. Cranky Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Bill, I am like this build. The color is perfect. Keep it going, it's going to look sweet finished. Luke, another great model in your collection of Black models.
Guest JamesDE Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 More progress on the 70... Front suspension is set now... Found the steering wheel I'm gonna use....
Dr. Cranky Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Love the slung back look, James. Another good one in progress.
JamesW Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I actually mocked mine up on 1109's before I decided to use the T's. I'm considering pickin up another one to build as a lowrider.
Guest JamesDE Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Movin right along.... Got my interior in primer and gonna paint it here in a bit..... I have a crazy sleep pattern.... Insomnia..... Lol, so I should have the 55 BelAir done tonite.... If I keep movin on like this, I may even throw a third one out here.....
Guest JamesDE Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Interior done on the 70.... And here's my third entry since the bel air is almost done...
wgflatliner Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 I like the belair! Seeing the 70 impala makes me want to bust mine out too! Excellent progress guys. I am gonna hold off on the 70 though and focus on a 59 rag top
Guest JamesDE Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks Mark! Can't wait to see what you do with the 59...
JustBill Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 The '55 is prolly one of my all time favorite cars. I love seeing it as a lowrider too. Very nice James!
Dr. Cranky Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 James, that looks really Old School, or OG, as they say. Excellent job.
wgflatliner Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 I did some basic body work to the 59 and got it in metalizer aluminum plate for the primer. I just need to do minor touch up on the front to get rid of some flash that I missed. I plan on doing the car in silver with the fender skirts and the continental kit. The interior is going to likely be black with blue inserts.
Guest JamesDE Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks Virgil..... Nice startMark on that 59!
Dr. Cranky Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Wonderful looking engine, and the body looks like the perfect canvas for some cool colors and graphics.
