enjoy.

Robert.

i had to scratch build the entire stance the only thing that came with the kit are the axels them selves everything else is scratch. most revell lowriders come with differnt stances to chose from this one is stock or low and thats it. and i wanted a 3 wheel stance.

you can enter as long as you done my the end of this month

I like the stance. Real nice!

teust me it will be done by the end of the month. it will have a white interior with an amp and two 6x9's in the rear window.

Nice stuff Robert. I look forward to seeing more.

i am trying to make this look like it is a lowrider someone on a very small budget has built so not much chrome or flashy colors, right now the bumpers have been glued to the body and are being held on with tamiya masking tape it is pretty much complete exept for i have to chose an engine, what kind of engine should i put in a lowrider a stock one with chrome or a modifyed fule injected 427? it also has a modified exaust because i had to mod the suspention so much there was no room for the stock so i cut off the pipe from the muffler back and glued the stock tips stright to the muffler. pics tommarow.

Robert.

If you raise the rear left side of the axle it will make the 3 wheel higher. Engine-wise you can put in anything you want, but not many Lowriders have high performance engines.
It looks really nice in that colour, and with some whitewalls and white interior it will really get off!

paint some white walls on those tires. or send me the tires and ill do them for you

i painted the inerior whitewith silver detials, i will go with a stock engine with some chrome valve covers. i am pretty pleased with the hight, it was my first time modifying suspention's so i am not going to fidel with this one. i bought this kit thinking it whould have optional suspention position's. when it did not i was kinda mad but then i said hmm i can just modify it. it also has an amp and two 6x9's in the rear window along with one of those bass tubes that come with the amt 67 impala. i was going to buy some hoppin hydro's wheels for it but saw the new revell ssr and opted for it unsted. i have been pretty hooked on lowriders all my life and back when i started modelling all i built was lowlow's and then moved to imports but now i think i might start doing lowriders agian,since i enjoyed this kit so much.

Robert.

Good to hear, yeah the only Monogram kits that come with lowrider stuff are the ones that actually have a lowrider on them, like the 59 Impala and the 60 Impala.

ok here is the almost completed car, should i strighten up the front wheel?? and i also pictured the rims i was gonna use but cant get them to fit. enjoy.

edit:this was a lowrider kit on the box.

just test fitted the 427 and it fits but the hood wont shut so i will look for something with lots of chrome, also i am gonna maskoff the top of the hood and spray it with some really good chrome paint i found you can see your self in this stuff. the hood opens to the side so it will reflect the engine.

Darn that is sweet...i really need to get one of these kits and have a go at building one.

thank you.


Robert.

The Monogram '65 Impala came as a lowrider; convertible and hardtop.

and what kinda chrome paint would this be??

sumthin a lot easier would be some BMF

i cant work with bmf i have wasted money on several sheets and ruined them very fast. the chrome paint look very close to real chrome i will get the name of it in a bit and after i spray with it i will take some pics of how it looks.

well i dont use BMF i use that chrome tape by the dupli-color paint at meijers its thicker and doesnt rip as easily

also i dont think i worded what i was gonna do with the chrome paint right, i am going to mask off the entire top of the hood and spray the entire underside of the hood. thanks for looking.

i know what ya ment ;)

ohh ok.

Ok, I just seen some 65s that aren't the lowrider version, so i put that together with the fact that you said it doesnt have the adjustable suspension, thought it was the stock kit.

Lookin good, I'll be waiting for those engine photos.

man that 65 is lookin off the HOOK so far. its a bit of a shit that the 427 dont fit. best of luck with it.
this is just as idea, dont know if it works but dont revell sell seperate engines jsut by themselves. to my knowledge they are like full chrome, as in the block and heads etc (too much bling for me!) but i have never actually used one. so maybe try that and jus repaint the block heads etc.

later all, WIDE.
p.s. purpura why is hillary duff you avatar...aint she a bit young bruh? lol

if i am correct purpura is 16, so no she is not to young. thanks for the comments i am going to just go though my spare engine box (80+engines) and find something cool.
