Off it's chain, and running around loose -- these are the first photos that truly give you an idea of just how :twisted:

Awesome work, Doug, as always!
Can't wait to see it all Pimp'd-out with stickers

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure that all-of-the-above could be had for about the cost of a 25'x40' garage with 3-phase power......... Well, OK -- maybe a little less

will you punch the rollcage up-shifting?

Nope

spent a long time inside making vroom,vroom noises and shifting,while
positioning the bar

I can SO picture that! :lol:

Along the same lines -- even though it looks like my knees would hit that cross bar, actually I have PLENTY of room... but there will be padding, just in case

Cheers!

Yup and that burple color was not ...........ugh.....gansta' enuf for me

This truck is more recycled Isuzu community parts than you think...the tires have been on atleast 5 Isuzu's .....mikey originally bought them.....

I probably won't get rid of the switches because of a summer tyme project for mama.........that will just be sick :twisted:

I'll remember tho' :wink:

I did a bunch of odds and ends this weekend,mostly wiring........it's finally done.....woo...woo..

and started to sand so I can spray some more .........anti-color on her....
and lay some vinyl down,I'll post some pics of something monday night.

by **Bansil** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 7:46 pm

Lot's of pic's? well on dialup it is...enjoy

Ok an update it's now officially crunch time.........ooohhh.not sure about that word tho' :wink:

So I thought I was done with wireing..........I was miss-informed :roll:

so besides that and like 100000000 things...all little....heres where I'm at.

I wired up and mounted the backup lite

And a dust light very helpful when the dust is thick.....thanks smiley

Gotta think safety
so I started putting in rollbar padding.......whoever came up with 3' lengths being a good size..........well they where an idiot....

I have 6 more pcs I'll pickup tommorrow.

awhhhh gotsta

think real safe so I installed front air bags for the passenger

as well as side curtain impact bags

what else do I have.......

her's a teaser for some of you old farts........hehehee like me :twisted:

A 72 year old lowrider next to a 18 year old one.

started to prep body for it's $45 dollar paint job :wink:

of which $27 was vinyl

There aren't good pics of the paint yet (maybe because spray paints sucks when the wind is blowing and the part is bigger than a beer can :roll:

) and maybe I'm waiting for a few days...to finish her.

O----> and the reason a small care garage can almost suck as bad as a no garage...............
Ol'Skool LowRider feel it? can you hear the music............

A 1936 Chevy Masters Deluxe Sports Sedan.....bling bling. :wink:

Makes me want to break out a Tommy gun------>

NICE old Chevy! :cool:

--- Bro, youâ€™ve got bigger cohunes than I thought if youâ€™re spraying black rattle-cans anywhere near that thing! :shock:

So, how did the fine people of Bristol react to the spectacle of the LowRider cruising around town?
Iâ€™m sure you have some storiesâ€¦
--- of dogs running for cover.
--- frightened mothers shielding the eyes of their children.
--- more boyfriends & girlfriends demonstrating their need for couples therapy.
:lol:

I canâ€™t wait to see it with all of the paint and graphics done! :twisted:

[edit]
Oh yeah...
Thanks for the Air Bags!

[/edit]

Cheers!

No way Jose'
:shock:

I backed her out the garage,shut the door and sprayed in the driveway,then after 15min. I drove back into the garage :lol:

As for stories,not many except I drove to RPM and back and had two of Bristol's finest follow me on different occasions.........and didn't get pulled over :twisted:

When I got there I just rolled into the shop and drove up to the lifts where the guys were working on the trucks,they all stopped and looked at her,it went good.

best part was I saw several of the local Heeps that never even look or wave at us Isuzu's............craning their necks trying to see just what in the hell just rolled by :twisted:

so how about some pics?

Installed the "new" rearshocks today :shock:

first new part I bought for the ol' girl...........$39 gas ones(each).........discounted down to $14.99
because I pitched a b-tch since they didn't order the $14.99 ones....... :roll:

.............and they thought the truck was cool.

amazing the difference having shocks on something makes :mrgreen:

instead of bouncing for about two squeaky minutes they just kinda go.."not sure but they don't bounce" :wink:

yes they are,but the mod was done before I got her,Rubo actually told me it was done.I didn't know.......It is the grill and etc from a later model rodeo it's all bolt on from what I understand.

by **bigpoppax2** » Thu May 01, 2008 10:25 pm

I like the "Expendable Crew Member" sticker.

And the MWM skull on the hood is pretty cool too.

Joe
