Me gusta.

 

Just found this thread. WOW. I dig dig dig it!

 

I grew up in south Texas....never saw any bombs this nice.

Most of the lowrider stuff I saw growing up had almost no attention to detail and crappy engines. They'd lower a car, spray a bad paint job on (get overspray all over the rubber and some on the glass) then tack a bunch of JC Whitney stuff on them and call it a day.

It'll never be my style, but if I'd seen more stuff like the rides represented in this thread, my opinion of them would've been different.

 

Bombs and Lowriders of quality have been in Houston for a long time. I'm talking back as far as I know and that would be late 70's until today. Maybe you just ran into a couple of posers.

By south Texas, I meant truly south Texas...the Rio Grande Valley....7 hours south of Houston by car.

 

Thx Archangel, Truck Bombz are where it's at for me. My 53 powered 55 F100 is headed toward a cross between an old school custom metal mods, two tone flat N glossy, and bombastic! I've been collecting and storing vintage parts in the garage for a build out when I've saved enough cash to sub out some of the custom metal work I've planned. It'll be draggin my pasty white tail Nor Cal style in a full set of foxcaft skirts, a full compliment of Buick and Cadillac chrome, and a pair of Ford correct A pillar spots, under an OEM correct visor! Keep the inspiration coming! It's the dream that keeps me hanging on!
