cobraman Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That will look cool. What do you think of that kit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesDE Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think it's a lot better than the Lindberg offering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 lf you can pull this off...make a convincing lowrider out of a Gremlin? You're a true magician. I'm behind ya on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Is it just me or is that box way big for what's inside ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trey allen Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I dig it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesDE Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Lol, yes, I agree, the box was ridiculously too big. When I got the package in the mail, I was confused as to why it was packaged in a rectangular box, then opened it to see the kit was the same size and dimensions... It seems like a fairly nice kit.. Way better than the Lindberg kit, plus I'm diggin the stock wheels.... Since I'm also posting this and would like to continue posting on Gary Seeds Facebook group, the rims will change to the stock wheels but on the Pegasus 5.20 whitewall tires... I will be updating this soon enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Regarding box size... pull out the folded cardboard compartment walls and you'll find this at the bottom of the box- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I like the idea of a lowrider Gremlin. Sure, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamesDE Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I saw that Chuck.... Nice little bonus there... Yes Jim, in the 70s, there was lowriders...A good reference movie to lowriding in the 70s was "Boulevard Nights" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruleworld Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) your pimpmobile gremlin is coming along nicely. 1970s lowrider?? Did we have them back then? Should be an interesting build. how little you know, padawan. in 1975 the band 'War' released a song titled Lowrider, that went number 1 on billboard. lowriders ARE the 70s. for those who don't know it, it's the song Cage and crew listens to in Gone in 60 Seconds (2001).

Guest JamesDE Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks guys.... Got a bit more done... Got my first color on the body, and got some parts painted...
