Since the early 1960s Impalas are usually the base for lowriders, I thought about turning an early 1960s Fullsize Ford Galaxie into a "lowrider". I used a1961 AMT Ford Galaxie kit along with a set of Pegasus wheels. Paint is Tamiya peral white.

Love it, love it, love it............ :D .......... Really nice job, love those twin aerials ............ ;) ............ Lowlife ! !

Agree on the aerials.

The last pic shows a lower stance up front. Is it adjustable or is it just the angle of the shot? Either way, great job!

all the AMT platform chassis kits had two or more sets of axle settings, stock, lowered, and sometimes raised for race cars. Johan followed the same formula until they dropped metal axles. the producers of "Thunderbirds!" used a LOT of AMT kits for their program, they slotted the axle holes and slipped pieces of foam rubber inside to act as "suspension" for making the cars appear to "drive" along their roadways...

whatever, though; that's a strong looking Ford.

Thank You, guys!

As 62rebel wrote, You have the choice between several holes in the chassis to put the metal axles in - no problem in the engine department, since the model doesn't have a motor - so it is possible to lower or rise the car for the photographer.
