Post your rides
Kelowna, I know where I can pick up a Ford Galaxie for REAL cheap and it's not too bad except for the motor.
Is anyone building those for lowriders? I don't ever remember seeing one, even in my 5 years of buying Lowrider Magazine.

realistically it'll be a while before i take on any new projects. i don't have room for another car at the moment so there's nothing happening until i move somewhere with much more space. i'll be sure to mooch info from you in the future though

</font>[/QUOTE]hey no problem at all,when you do have the means to do it be prepared thats all I can say lol,brandon Ive only seen 1 or 2 myself most people seem to favor gm rides for lows for the most part the only real popular ford ride Ive seen built lots are lincoln towncars,but its not neccesarily a bad thing to be origonal though.
Yea, I see a TON of Town Cars and a couple Continentials, other than that, Mustangs(believe it or not) and lol Thunderbirds.
might have to pick up that Galaxie. They were one of my favourite cars at one time, and there HUGE.
I think when I turn 70 I'm gonna pimp out a late 90's Crown Vic. I'll do the 16" Chrome and Gold Zenith's with 3" White Walls. 4 pump with 16 batteries, 12" cylinders in the back....10's up front. Yea, that'd be cool.
