[lownslow]

thanks guys...and again thanks jack for posting these...... yeah it lays frame.....i just need to shim the trans to give me a bit more drop..and in the rear there is a snubber i need to take out yet...but then i get about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch lower......man wait till you see the paint i got planned for the body...also 64 rivi interior seats, console,and probably even the dash too.. also gonna do a custom grill as well........glad you guys dig it....

[SwitchBlade327]

can't wait to see what you do with the paint, will it be as wild as the Buick? I'm ready to find something else to do some flake on....

[lownslow]

flaked out yes and different than the buick. but still imperial customs style......lets jut say candy , flake, and panels......and this is my daily....thats why i went with the bags......

[tredboy]

[lownslow]

[Bluesfella]

Donnie, I just recognized your car! You and the Olds were in Rod and Custom magazine, Aug. 2003. There was an article about you spraying the metal flake. Good stuff.

I knew I had seen that car somewhere...had to go pull out my old magazines to find it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Badass... nice ride! What gear did you use to bag it?
Lownslow...you don't know Choptop Gary do ya??? I used to spend a lot of time in SC and got to know those guys. Unfortunately....I can't find his number.

[Rocky]

Nice, Donnie....
I once traded my almost mint 66 chevy stepside for an aquaintance's 63 starfire. I asked him how he lowered it and he said he cut the coils. After the trade, I opened the trunk of my new baby to find I was the proud owner of about 350 lbs of busted concrete chunks! Bags are a much better way..

[lownslow]

i actually had that for a while too..any pix ?....hahaha.....thanks I AM SOOOO STOKED!!!!!!!!....... and yes i know i am yelling.......hahahaha....i am just giddy like a school girl........... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rocky]

I have several photos of my starfire but my scanner's down for awhile. I'll post one when my kid comes over to fix me up with some needed computer/scanner repairs.

[BARNETT]

Donnie...got the same problem around here as far as thinking outside the box! Nobody "gets it" until you show 'em and then they're all over it. Weird, huh? Some people have to see things, in the flesh (so to speak). http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[FnDIRTYGREASER]

damn donnie, its finally done. turned out sicck!!
manny

[Boones]

Hey Donnie I will trade you a pair of black plates for a ride in it at Paso.....

[Radshit]

Way bitchin ride...looks great!........

[bufordtjustice]

bew-tea-full

[poncho]

wow donnie that is bitchin' dude...im stoked for ya ....

[133]

wow, your Olds is kickass with the air ride. looks great. did you install the air ride yourself or have someone do it for you? awesome ride.

[luckystiff]

donnie,
the olds look awesome. funny actually it looks just like the photoshop with it dropped you emailed me. perfect. now get to work on making that grille. i wish i live close hell i'd come over and do it for you since i'm becoming a master at it with tryin' to get the perfect fit for the buick. that fucking peak is killing me on my car. everyone else says my mock up looks good but the peak is just ever so slightly different from the hood and it bothers me. you still gonna do the full grille hidden headlights thing? i've got those pics saved i liked 'em so much. and i have to agree building a car that no body really thinks to build makes me smile alot. i got the wildcat the same way now i can't imagine getting rid of it and i'm not usually like that. anyhow the olds looks great. gonna give any hints on paint or will it just have to be a suprise? later...ken....

[happy hoppy]

looks sweet !

[lownslow]

hey thanks guys,
yeah i had it done here in burbank. my buddy owns a shop in town . a regular mechanics shop . but they do some custom fab stuff too....the guy who did the bags on his car does bags for them at their shop.....he really knows his shit........and as far as the paint...thats a secret. not because i am being sneaky . but probably i will change my idea a couple of more times before i get to it.......haha......again thanks for the compliments..and it rides AWESOME !!!!!!!!!....

firestone bags, a big viair''not sure on spelling'' compressor i actually went with the 1/4 inch lines and with that big compressor and one 5 gallon tank it works great......my buddies shop did the install.....he's is a lurker who has yet to do his intro.....he has a bad ass 64 rivi that was in custom rodder not too long ago and is in the new low rider mag.....no i dont know choptop gary...where is he located ????

[JSM56]

that thing looks awesome. i love how low it is. how much cutting did you have to do to lay frame? my car lays frame in the rear because it has a huge notch, but the front just wont drop enough. guess its time for drop spindles. beautiful car man.

[forsakenfew]

donnie, it looks damned fine!!

i'm starting to wish i had the option of taking the pontiac to a shop and having mine installed. so far, i've run all the electrical, installed gauges in stock locations in the dash, installed the switches in the dash, test mounted the compressor and tank, and decided where my valves are going.

i still need to: run all the air line, (gonna be a bitch) and then, last but not least, install the bags. (gotta build my own brackets, etc.)

am i in over my head? yup. do i have much choice? not really. i'm not familiar with any shops in seattle that do this sort of work. (that i would trust) there are a few that cater to the import crowd, but....... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

anyways, looks fucking bitchin!!

[Boones]

forsaken, if you have question, KustomBuick is in Seattle and he has done a few ride including several with custom brackets/ installs. I do not know if he is willing to do any side jobs right now but you may want to send him a PM if you have any questions. Me and him did my wagon and he did my first set up in my S-10 blazer. He did the green 64 fairlane wagon that lays out great plus he just did his 53 Buick that lays rockets.. (its is going thru a color change either this week or next)

[forsakenfew]

thanks boones, i'll send him a PM!!

[low springs]

that looks great Donnie. do you have front, back, side to side then to pancake motion? i can't wait to see it in Paso.

[lownslow]

yip .....front to back and side ide to side..also each individual corner....can i get a WHOOP WHOOP?????????...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ShortBus]

WhoopWhooop

That's one sicktight lowdriver, Homeslice. When you going to get sum dubzzzz?

See you on the boulevard ese.

[low springs]

lets go do a pre Paso cruzin down Crenshaw Blvd. you can do your 3 wheel motion doing doughnuts in the middle of the intersection. screaming I DONT GIVE A FUCK as your flicking everybody off. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif that should be fun

oh yeah don't forget to bring your bullet proof vest.http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[praisethelowered]

cool

that car is begging for some panels- if you want to warm up on a test car let me know . . .

aint it wierd how that last bit of drop that makes it look broken is just what makes it cool?

looks real good
