[slk320]

Wow, he jumped on this one pretty fast.. Ok here is mine then

1964 Chevy Impala classic, project BARBED WIRE!



now.. I have some parts I can use for this project... let see...



and:



I have been dying to build one so I had all these parts laying around from Hoppin Hydros.

I have never built a lowrider before, but we will see...

[JBarry]

Here's my kit.



I opened the box. Does that count as progress?

[slk320]

hahaha nice, i look forward to seeing progress on that one!

[86_SR5]

soooo we can do somethign with bags, or a mega drop, dubs, or bigger, and just some other custom stuff? Or, does it have to be a real lowrider, one with 12'' rims, white walls, old school rwd car, wicked paint, pink dice from the rear view, and the such? I've got a Z8 that I finished, it's a low-rider, 20's flip paint, drop top, sound system. That probably can't be entered, can it?

[tonioseven]

Anything goes!! It can't be already built though! You must start on itafter February 1st. Grab a kit and have at it!!

Plan's are, New Dayton rim's. (Probably Bag's instead of hydro's), If i do hydro's I will use the '64 Chassis and suspension, As to i can make it 3 wheel .Paint will be Candy Lime Green By Tamiya!

Some great lowriders are coming! I wish I had an old school Chevy to build like slk320 and Josh.

Today I knocked over a big box in my room and found a Revell Mustang Convertible Lowrider kit. I don't even know where it came from. I never bought it. Which kinda scares me being sober 20 years (: haha!

I don't know what kind of wheels to use on the 69 Charger. Do any of you pros have any ideas on what would look good on her?

IMO A charger is not really a car that somebody would turn into a lowrider. And id ya want a chevy kit, Go to walmart, I picked mine up for around 11 bucks. And I choose the 64 suspension on mine, Gonna make it 3 wheel, and Mica Red for the color!. I have already got the frame, And i am gettin the suspension from a friend. The car is primered and I will start sanding tomarrow. I will get pics to!

I hear ya Josh. No, the Charger is not a lowrider, but neither is a 350z or a pickup truck.

Where on the net does one find the 'rules'. Who says 'what's a lowrider and what's not.' Is there a rule that says, 'Only Impalas and Bel Airs and Caddyacks?' All I know is that I can't find them written anywhere. Sport cars are not lowriders, but Revell produced the Mustang Convertible Lowrider. Late model cars are not lowriders, but Revell produced the 94 Impala SS Lowrider.

I was under the impression that this was 'no rules' contest, that anything chopped is a lowrider.

I will be the first one to admit that I do not know much about lowriders. I am from Boston and have only seen a couple lowriders in my life, both of them were at autoshows. Yeah, I've seen the lowriders Cheeh and Chong drove in the movies. But not much more.

What I'm saying is I did not know what a REAL lowrider was and considering the lack of definition on lowriders availble to me on Feb.1, 04, I thought I would drop the Charger to the deck and make it into one. My mistake.

I'm out of this contest. I do not want to offend anyone by building a lowrider that's not a lowrider.

Whoa, Don't drop out of the comp because of what i said, That was just a statement, I didn't mean for you to take it seriously. A lowrider charger is a cool idea, Ive just never seen a 1:1 thats all, But I would like to see a model of one!.

Josh

[lowcrome]
