drnitrus Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Hello everyone Even though I am a newbie on here Ive been building for a little while. Here is a radical lowrider I am currently working on. Let me know what you think!!
Steve H. Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 I'm not a low rider builder, but I always appreciate a well done build! Very nice work! It's got "Money Shot" written all over it!
made007 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 nice, how did you do that money effect under the front and in the firewall? it looks awesome
novadose71 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I've been building for 25-30 years and have yet to open any kit doors. That baby's all sliced up. Lookin good. Let's see more.

drnitrus Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Not too much to report on this one. But here is a little something. Motor has been dropped in. Front suspension is in place and cylinders are in. Got a little work done on the pumps too. Give me some feedback!!!
drnitrus Posted October 22, 2007 Author Posted October 22, 2007 I finally had a little time to mess around with this one again..... The setup is not finished yet. Still need to run the hardlines from the front cylinders. Whatcha think??????
novadose71 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 You and your Monte are insane, which is good. I don't think I could figure out how to get the body to close up again
Trans Am Erik Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 OMG that thing is CRAZY!!!! I like the idea of calling it "Moneyshot", fitting!
Modellpularn Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 That thing is wild and insane! I recall seeing some of this before, I really like the interior. How did you do the pleats, Evergreen sheet with special buttons...?

drnitrus Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Still needs some cleanup and some little details but the chasis is mostly done.... Sorry for the bad lighting in some of the pics
drnitrus Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Well I finally got this bad boy back on the bench. :cheesy: I used the pattern masks that I had made on my printer. Thanks to ZFelix for the pattern design. :biggrin: I layed down the first set of patterns. They are a little light and might not show up to well, but I will try to highlight them a bit so they stand out a bit more. Layed down some tape for the second set of patterns and layed down a coat of candy. Im going to let it dry for a couple of days and lay out some more patterns. These arent 100% perfect but once its all pinstriped I should be able to clean them up a bit. With that said, FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!!
mikelo Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Great to see this one going again. Paint looks like it is going to be cool when it is done.

ajulia Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Hello there friend! I saw it when you first posted. Just wanted to say WOW! that is one badd mu@#%$^%&* Shut yo' mouth! "muy fuerte" Keep on wit the keepin on and please keep us posted. Peace AJulia
drnitrus Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Heres a little more... I layed down some more tape on the tops and sprayed a light coat of green then some of that clear efx clear stuff. u cant really tell the effect it gives too well in these shots though. Then the tape came off. Not too bad. There was a little lift on the roof but that can be fixed. Thats it for today. Stay tuned.....
drnitrus Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 Did a little more on this one....Took a page out of Minis book and added some penstripes. :biggrin: Then candied over everything. It still needs work but its getting there. This is pretty much the look I was going for. I will probably add some more stripes then clear and try to sand down the pattern edges. Let me know what you guys think!!
