I've had this kit for a while now and I recently decided to build it to practice some painting techniques. I built it a curbside so there isn't any engine detail and I added a set of pegasus wheels to complete the lowrider look.

I agree that your paint looks great... but a "lowrider" should have smaller wheels and ride, you know... low. It almost looks like your is is actually riding higher than stock! :blink:

Thanks everyone! I'll do a tutorial on the next one. Harry, i completely agree that it sits too high but most of today's "lowriders" have hydraulics that lift them way higher than this so I think the height is acceptable.

The paint turned out great Billy, good work. Gives me ideas for a couple pro streeters Im slowly working on. Keep it up, cheers.

I was never a fan of the corvettes, but I have to admit that this one looks so good that I want one for my own collection. I love the way you have done the rear quarter panel design. It perfectly follows the lines of the body. Without the blue field on the door's front half, I'd call this a perfect car-matching paintjob. I also like the stance of the car. Looks totally convincing.

What kit did you use for your build?
