Cool Hand Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) This build isnt anything special and didnt really put in much effort as I started with the MPC D.O.H kit,which is why I chose to build it as a curbside and use it for airbrush practice. The body. Paint base is H.O.K chrome yellow and molly orange highlights Then that was over coated with intercoat clear with Pearl-ex 641 pumpkin orange mixed in. Top coated with H.O.K UC-35 clear. Interior colour is Tamiya XF-55 deck tan. Wheels are Pegasus 1296 19" chrome DZ's. Edited October 9, 2012 by Cool Hand
Helix Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Awesome build Luke Nice to see a lowrider other than a Chev'
mopar68 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The best build of this kit I've ever seen, amazing job Luke
Chuck Most Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The best build of this kit I've ever seen, amazing job Luke X2! The Charger looks incredible done as a lowrider. The fact that this kit is pretty far from great to begin with makes the result even better! Hey, Danno. This one really ISN'T another General Lee.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 What? No black? LOL. I love it, what a great color and build. Now, tell us, how did you get such steady lines on the body. My hands are too shakey these days to get such lines. Great job. Great pictures.
TooOld Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Beautiful build ! Thank you for not building another General Lee .
slusher Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Amazing paint and build. Beautiful. l think its awsume, nice to see a tastful mopar lowrider....
Cool Hand Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for comments fella's. Its good to know some of you die hard mopar fans approve too. As some of you mentioned it is a low quality kit,so I tried my best to do something cool with it. I love lowriders and have built a few curbsides (quick fun builds) in the past so I decided that would be the best way and style to build it. To me any hard top coupe make great subjects to be built as lowriders. What? No black? LOL. I love it, what a great color and build. Now, tell us, how did you get such steady lines on the body. My hands are too shakey these days to get such lines. Great job. Great pictures. No black this time Doc.But have a couple in the works. The lines were done free hand,I put the body close to the edge of my spray table and rest/ran my hand and arm along the edge using it as guide to keep hands steady while spraying. And I must thank you Doc for sharing info and helping me with how to apply and use pearl-ex.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The one to thank is Donn Yost, he's the culprit behind all this Pearl EX and enamel painting energy. I tell you something, Luke, that is one beautiful model and if I lived anywhere near you I'd love to see it in person. I just sent you a PM. Let me know. Best, DC
Burnout Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I'm not normally a lowrider guy but that is really nice. I like the paint job and the grill work is really nice too.
W-409 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I was suprised too when I saw yellow & orange color combo on this Charger. It looks good, though! Your builds always impress me, keep them coming.
Danno Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 X2! The Charger looks incredible done as a lowrider. The fact that this kit is pretty far from great to begin with makes the result even better!

MichaelJ Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 ONE FANTASTIC CAR. Like it low.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ChevyCoupe41 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I've been always think that '69 Charger looks good when it's build street machine or original but now i know that it's not bad lookin in lowrider too. It looks very cool and especially i like that awesome paint job.
mikemopar70 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 General Lowrider! What a nice look your Charger have, first time i see one with a lowrider style! Your paint is awesome... Congratulations!
bbowser Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Lowriders aren't my thing but this is awesome. Great photography too!
Dr. Cranky Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I keep returning to this one. Really lots of eye candy here, that's for sure. I also love LOVE your photographs.
