Lowriders, who has one? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

tfin · 06-25-2003, 09:06 PM

As the title says. Does any one else here have a low rider? With or with out hydros? I have one. Back in high school I wanted to have one but was way to poor. So now I am out of college and have lots of time to burn so I made one. The car is a 79 Ford LTD. I have 6 batts, 2 pumps, 3 ton coils in front, and 2 tons in the rear. I have pics and my lame story of hte project in the link in my sig.

i dont have a lowrider car but....dang, that song is sweet! can't argue with that can ya?

ElwoodBlues · 06-27-2003, 06:41 AM

the story looks pretty cool so far. Can't wait to see the finished product on the LTD

morlock · 06-27-2003, 11:08 PM

I got one, a customized 72 Rivera.

Dougie · 06-28-2003, 07:13 AM

What you did to that poor innocent Riv is atrocious. you should be ashamed.

morlock · 06-28-2003, 09:51 AM

Targa top, couldn't imagine a riv as just a hardtop. And customized accented paint. Believe me this gets lots of looks and compliments whenever it's out. atrocious. I think not, but to each his own.

drawerfixer · 06-28-2003, 11:40 AM

I'm not too into lowriders, but it looks like you did alot of good work on that Riv. Excellent paint job.

tfin · 09-26-2003, 10:27 AM

Well I thought I would give an update to this thread. Here is a starting pic of wht I started with.

The car is a '79 Ford LTD. I have many auto projects that I want to do but this was by far the least expensive. So I got this car. Got some hydraulics, and started working.

Now this is what I have now.

I have more work to do and some more pics to come when it stops raining here. If you want to se how I got from the first pic to the last pic check the link in my sig.

m5man · 09-27-2003, 09:58 PM

now that will be pretty cool, I can see it now, top down in the 79 LTD draggin tail

tfin · 09-28-2003, 06:39 AM

Top down, hell there is no top. We took it off completely.

Lestat · 09-29-2003, 08:13 PM

My brother has a 57' Impala (Batman wings). He bought it from the orginal owner. It's got the original plates (from Michigan). I'll snap a picture of it when he's finished restoring it.

WEll you could always build one...thats the point of a project car. Hell just go for the 454

majik_6 · 10-06-2003, 10:42 AM

Hmm, if you count a laid out mini-truck as a lowrider, why yes, yes I do have one.

I guess it was a little more "lowrider-esque" when it had chrome CCE hydraulics and 14" chrome rims, but it's actually lower now with full airride...still has the 14's though.

I'd love to build a full on, diamond tuck, wire rim, candy flake Impala, though.

Scorps · 10-07-2003, 08:13 AM

I was going to get a S-10 and put full air-ride, with 18' but I don't want another slammed S-10 now..

etardedraverboy · 10-07-2003, 06:20 PM

i like s10's when you have a walk through

etardedraverboy · 10-07-2003, 06:21 PM

yah but if it still had the 327 then the numbers wood match

etardedraverboy · 10-08-2003, 10:55 AM

so tfin how did you keep the body from terring in the cormers buy the back seat

tfin · 10-08-2003, 12:30 PM

I ground down all the sharp edges. There are a lot of pics that I wish i could have taken. Basicaly I cut the roof off. Then I had a bood made for the rear end. Then I welded the boot on and fabed it up so it looked like it belonged there. Then I striped nad painted the car.
