New subscriber here .. super impressive to see all the work uve done . I'm a car guy so any insanity like cleaning the car before you work on it I get it and I agree .. keep pushing and grind on. I also like the way you tossed the battery to the ground you actually help the battery if you do that. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Awesome ! Thanks for subscribing ! I appreciate the kind words. I hope you stick around !

[@wellons74]

I’m excited to this, I’ve been wanting to see this caprice since you built it. Hoping to get mine out of the area a little more this summer

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

I know I've seen a few in mini truckin mag back in the day. I've always wanted to build one since then. Thanks man !

[@CareySomers]

Funny story we have a James at work…same deal it’s always his fault too 😂😂

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Haha. It's a universal guy to blame in any situation

[@chicagovasko]

Man you know whats cool about your garage if you look around you got all kinds of tools and cool stuff to work on cars.

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

There's definitely a lot of junk in here ! Lol thanks man !

[@Buellerwtfman]

Dammit James

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

😆😆

[@PurpleSonoma]

I have been checking out your channel and I like the variety of projects. I saw the row of pump spray bottles in the background and thought it would be a good idea to have some on hand, I happened to be in Princess Auto (Canadian Harbour Freight) and they were on sale in the check out lane so I picked one up. Looking forward to seeing how the body drop turns out!

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Yessir. I've been watching your videos also. They truck is coming along great ! . The pump sprayers are awesome i just dump all of my products into them rather then using the aquire bottles it's so much easier!

[@PurpleSonoma]

@ thanks for watching my videos. Hopefully the next one will be out this week. I am hoping the nozzles on the pump sprayers are better than the crappy dollar store spray bottles I have been using.

[@juniorwhelchel6337]

Damn it James i hope u have a Happy New Year

[@LburgVAGuy]

I feel like every custom car/truck guy has a friend named James that throws a monkey wrench in our builds 😂 jk I had a James that almost caught my car on fire wiring up some fog lights wrong lol

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Oo wow haha. My james almost burned his truck down with an amp for his subs lol

[@LburgVAGuy]

@Virginiaisforlowriders Been there myself 😆 It's always good to have homies helping out even when we screw up. I always learn from the mistakes

[@jayinmi3706]

With as slow as it's been to get parts for the Ranger, this was a much needed switch.

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

I agree!!

[@gasskan15]

Have a 85 Pontiac Parisienne its bagged but would love to body drop it, will try and catch you at mini nats

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

@gasskan15 That would be badass. I think those cars came with better grill and tail lights then the caprice . Keep an eye out for me !

I was always curious how people body drop cars.

Me too lol. We are all figuring it out together !

[@LburgVAGuy]

@Virginiaisforlowriders Thanks for taking the time to show us how, especially when it's 20 degrees with snow on the ground!

[@rickyswann4354]

What if you channel it instead of body dropping?

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

It's kinda going to be both. It will be a mix because of the way the frame is . I'll explain it batter in the next weeks video. Thanks man !

[@ricktroxell6448]

If you have tinted window do you really even need carpet

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Nope !

[@jayinmi3706]

Did you change cameras or something? The garage looks different color-wise. Or did James do something? lol

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Haha. No but we can still blame him

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

[@7daytheory110]

Could you not get away with cutting the bottom of the frame off then reinforcing it and Z-ing the front?

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

Ive been contemplating that I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to go about this. Only thing i think will cause issues going that way is id have to cut the center of the floor out because of how tight everything is already. It very well could go that way once I get everything stripped out of it

[@moose1875]

I'm blaming James for my truck not being done yet now to

[@Virginiaisforlowriders]

As you should its his fault

[@shortsbbq]

@@moose1875 your trucks not done yet cause you’re on here blaming me 😂😂😂

[@moose1875]

@shortsbbq I know, you're right 😭 🤣

[@ricktroxell6448]

This should be made to look as janky as can be but built like it's supposed to be. If it's ratty it should be properly rattey. Give it a rat fink kinda vibe then the intake could stick out of the hood and all that. I guess if you were maken it a show car anyways. I would have to put witty stickers or somethin explaining this and that or just strait up sarcasm. I guess it depends on your mood

Ooo it's pretty rough in person lol the camera makes it look better then it is !
