These are Konigs so they're expensive, tires are not great, but wheels are MINT, paid 1100 for everything. Double your guess and you're close. :D

how much reinforcement of the frame is required to be twisting the cutlass like that? [img]smile.gif[/img]
i've been thinking of building a lolo for the last 5 years or so and i'm getting antsy these days. i'll be building a cutlass, regal or mc.

It all depends what you want to do, If you just want to go up and down and not very fast you should be ok with a stock frame as long as you take it easy and your frames in good shape,If you want to hop alot and high and 3 wheel and put lots of batterys in the back youll need to do things like your rear arches,box in the c channel that runs along the car under the doors, your spring pearches,your front crossmember,a-arm mounts,rear spring pearches ect ect basically the more the better every part that isnt reinforced is a weak link,your upper control arms would need to be extended and reinforced your lowers would need to be reinforced your lower rear trailing arms would need reinforcing,if you wanted to have a high lock up in the rear youd need to shorten your driveshaft and extend your rear upper trailing arms to compensate for the pinion angle thiers so many varibles and ways to do it I could go on forever,if your interested pm me Ill show you somewhere where you could get a start learning about this **** and meet a few peeps from your area that are in the game.

yuo can check out my neon here the pics are a bit old and the wheel i have now are the same but chrome

Ya I checked that thing out one day outside of its nice for what it is,I like the door pannels

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.

thanks for the info.
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 ;) :D </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. :D Yea, that'd be cool.
