chris_thobe Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Ok guys here is another on that I have started on July 5, 2012. It started as a 64 Impala Lowrider kit from Revell. This thing is going RADICAL lowrider of the year style. Chrome undercarraige, kandy patterns everywhere. This is my first attempt at a custom of this magnatude. Look out because it could get ugly! In the beginning... All cuts have been made, seein how it looks all closed up. Here it is all opened up in carshow mode! This is as far as I have made it so far, besides starting to jam and hinge it.
Intmd8r Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 It's kinda lkie a Transformer..........but lower.......... Looking forward to seeing more!
Wayne Buck Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Wow! Judging by the '62 that you've recently posted, I have a feeling that I should definitely be watching this build! Kinda looks like a Transformers turning into "robot" mode. heh Pretty darn cool! It's kinda lkie a Transformer..........but lower.......... LOL, guess we were kinda thinkin' the same!
MAGNUM4342 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 DUDE! Your car esploded man! All I can say is "Mongo like Kandy!" Gimmie more!
Hedgehog Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Wow it looks good just with the cuts. I'm sure it's gonna let us open-mouthed
Bastardo Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Did that thing run over a landmine?! Lookin' great so far, dude!
chris_thobe Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks guys, this one isn't goint to be a fast build up by anymeans. I am shooting for about 3-4 months. Been messing with all the hinges, trying to get that figured out because I want this thing to close up like a real car.
chris_thobe Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 I got some of the hinges done.. rear tilt and trunk lid and doors are hinged, haven't messed with the front tilt or hood, and I am not sure how the hell I am going to hinge the roof yet. I will get more pics soon. I have just been really busy the last week.
bryan_m Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! that is incredible! way beyond the scope of my abilities for sure!.............i cannot wait to see more of this! just incredible! did i say wow?? cheers bryan
chris_thobe Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks Bryan! I need some motivation. Going to a lowrider show Saturday so hopefully I will come back with some momentum.
bryan_m Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 this thing is gonna be ultra wild, and im sure a lowrider show will be just what you need to really get goin! take lots of pics! cant wait to see more. cheers bryan
Jantrix Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I gotta say I'm not into cars of this sort, but I will be ultra interested in all the work done. Looking forward to this.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Wow, you're a brave man. I've never seen anything ilke that, all opened up. Fascinating.
H.A.K Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 WoW that thing SUCK'S. U know your not a very good model builder. It's almost like you dont even care about what your doing......WHAT A SHAME. . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . J/K I LOVE IT, REALLY DO. SO WHEN YOUR DONE WITH THIS ONE, I'LL THAKE ONE ASWELL.

LokoteZ C.C Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Nice Job! Now thats Radical right there. I used to build models as a kid and recently decided to try a radical build. What tool did you use to do your cuts tho? Any suggestions?
