I finished 'Robin' today. She's up on the shelf now :) Here are a few shots.

I plan on getting back into the Impala Lowrider and finish her up next.

very nice :)

Very nice man, you built it just like they used to...

nice work :iceslolan

Nice model but how is that a lowrider? Looks factory stock with the addition of some Keystone style rims.

Hmm.. the model is nice, but looks to be stock height :)

Thanks.

I cut parts off the rear suspension that would make it lower. I guess I suck mods :) haha. I'll put a couple sandbags in the trunk for when I show it :iceslolan

cool. but needs to be low, ya know, low like get lower. nice build overall, what's with the blue firewall tho?

I'm lowering it more now. Front and rear. I took 5/32" off the rearend and I'm taking another 1/32" off the rear and 1/8th inch off the front.. that's about 3" in real life aye? Is that enough? I want this to be a lowrider, not a 'med-low' rider.

Thanks for your opinions! I agree with you guys. Lower is better :)

put it where the frame is 2.5mm from the ground!! then you're definetly low enough! Post some pics when you're done.

I really chopped her down this time. The frame is almost on the ground in the front. How does she look now?

J. Barry

Nice stance!!!!!!!

much better! now that's a sweeet lowrider!

Honestly I didn't think much of your first photos. But after that drop, wow! Good stuff!

Thanks guys. I appreciate all of your comments. She was my first 'custom' lowrider but surely won't be my last. Every kit I get that I can make into a lowrider, I am going to try it. I'm an North East Coast guy and I never see lowriders except at shows. So, I'll build my own.

I am planning on dropping my 1:1 Crown Vic a few inches this spring. I know she'll look ballsie low.

Again, thanks for the motivation and comments.

this is more like it nice work!!

Get some wide whites and supremes on that biatch!
Will look ten times tighter with supremes and wide whites me thinks :sunglasse You just made me want to do a GTX lowrider now too, I got just the thing for one.

Very nice! :thumbsup:
