You don't see many out there and they are a nice looking car. Good luck.

Define "early low rider style". I think it depends on the what area you're in. From what i remember of the early low rider style in my area (early 70's) it was usually a slammed, primed bomb or an Impala with some type of custom paint on the top, Supremes, pinner whites and maybe custom interior. That's always been my favorite low rider style. They eventually morphed into the juiced street driven all out show car style.

Slould be cool and different. Should be easy to drop too by crankin down the torsions in front and removing a leaf or two on the back springs. Then make a really sick homemade intake and exhaust set-up for the slant six. Now that would be neat.

Also some nice early lows here. You just have to kind of skim through it.

my idea is two tone white top blue bottom with reversed color scallops kinda Watsonish. I have a set of old Keystone classic 5 spokes thin whites two inch blocks for the rear and turned down torsion bars. Will probably end up with air shocks on the rear as its cheaper than trying to bag or juice the rear.

I would love to find more pics of real street driven lows not just car show cars. Kool vids though and yeah im on the hamb but my Valiant is off topic.
