I dig it.

IMO, either slam it so the wheels don't look so small, or will it have operable suspension?

Re: 54 chevy lowrider

Paint looks good man. Did you use the "wet" clear with it, or just the regular lacquer clear? I picked up some, but haven't tested out yet. I don't imagine it is any better than the regular mm clear lacquer. But it was the same price so....
Also...nice on the interior.
