So I'm going to have a crack at this and see how I fair. My expectations aren't that high for this one and its all a learning curve for me.  For paint I'm thinking blue with some ghost lace or something, I'm in over my head for this one. Cheers |

MY FAVORITE!!!!! Bananezorro
As long as you get it low, with the right wheels, and that is all it needs........
BUT.. with all those panels being sooooo long, there is a whole playground to go silly on paint too..
ENJOY the build Scotti..

Now this should great, the bigger the car, the lower they look ! And your not in over your head, nice set of lowrider wheels, and a low stance, and your done !
Plenty of top lowriders feature the original interiors, engines etc, you don't have to go wild to get noticed, especially when you have hydraulics .... 2gwb921

Aussiemodler, if you want wheels, try eBay ! Look for Pegasus Hobbies, chrome D's.... But search about, some people want stupid money for them. I bought 2 sets recently from the USA, cost was less than a new kit including postage and they are very nice !  |

good choice. that is a land yacht for sure. so, if you want my humble opinion, a really dark pearl blue with a gloss white roof with some white interior ..... BAM!!

I love the kit choice. I think you'll be fine if you stay with what you know and just focus on the little things like the guys are saying.

Cheers Steve Or pull an old telephone curly cord, or an old playstation etc controller cord apart, they have some small wires which work for free.. |
