How Much Does It Cost To Build A Lowrider?

[@ridewithprimo]

I love it. The basics of building a solid Lowrider. Detail work is a never ending job.

[@anthonycordova74]

Thanks for tuning in! Yeah you’re right it never ends.

[@Aroberts1371USMC]

Im done ripping burnouts in my GT500. I want a lowrider so badly. In my 40s now and ive always been in love with hydraulics and wire wheels awesome paint jobs. Wanna hit three wheel coming around the corner to my work. Great video brother and God bless.

[@anthonycordova74]

Go for it! Thanks for the comment.

[@angeldesigns1385]

I’m right where you are. I’m in my 40’s and I’ve been wanting to get back into lowriding for a while now. I haven’t owned one since I was in my late twenties..Good luck brother!

[@checopelon2564]

I got one for sale if anyone is interested lmk

[@JB_561]

Go for it. I sold my built Z06 and bought my 63 Impala right before I turned 30. Best decision I made. 3 pumps 8 batteries I been beating her up it’s full frame time now

[@mikolmaxwell7098]

I'm 50. I've stayed in a Lowrider since my twenties. I used to build them for ppl. I live in the country now where no other Lowriders. Mine stays in the garage a lot.. But I got it tho

[@garxzy1567]

finally a good video, also, im a young guy im only 19 yrs old, but i like lowriders a lot but im going to be fully honest, i have absolutely NO CLUE where to even go to get all these parts installed, ive always seen people have them but how tf or where tf do they go to, a mechanic shop?? (Sorry if i sound dumb but i genuinly dont know sht and i only recently bought a car so i have no idea how anything works)

[@joshuahunter8194]

No worries. This is how you start. Ask ask ask and do research and a lot of it. You'll get there. Find where they have shows if you can. I don't have one either but want one. I have some knowledge on cars but only very limited on hydraulics and that stuff. You'll get there. ❤

[@anthonycordova74]

It kinda depends where your located , but do your research you might have to travel a bit but look for pwople with experience and knowledge! Instagram is a good resource!

[@AnjouBlaxx]

Cool, you got the car. You are 30% there. What did you manage to get? And if you don't mind me asking, what kind of work do you do?

Over time I came super close so many times with making my dream come true..close to the poiint i had 13x7 wires and a reds hydro ump kit to install but never got the chance .. I had a 76 seville, 79 seville, and my favorite.. 81 cutlass supreme... all in mint condition, but something always came up, and I had to let m go... I'm currently looking to get back into it because I gotta achieve my goal b4 ya boi checks out, lol. this video sets a sum of what number I can look forward 2 when getting this ball rolling again.

A boss I have a question and need your opinion so I always loved lowriders I always had lowrider bikes and I had a 93 Lincoln towncar 78 Cutlass and a 82 Buick regal but never with hydraulic and since I was deep in gangs and drugs never got the chance to really do anything with them now that I'm a lil older with family I really want a lowrider to cruise with my wife and boys don't want a show car just something nice to cruise and three wheel and have fun i found a grandma car witch is a 83 Cadillac coupe DeVille super clean all it would need is the hydraulic old gentleman is asking 6,000$ witch I think it's a good deal but i also think of a newer 2003 and up Lincoln town car would be good If i look i can get a clean one with low miles for around 10,000$ and all it would need would be the hydraulic system as well witch one do you suggest is best for my dollar now and for the long run as well? And I do know a good set up would cast me around 7,000$ it's self plus 1,500$ for rims

Got entertainment but no value. This hypothetical build was built around your confirmation biases and preferences. You can absolutely find a cheaper Regal. You can absolutely spend less on interior. You can absolutely get a set of China's for with tires for $1,200. Who is paying $1,100 for sounds. WTH?? And hydros, no way fully installed by a third party with additional suspension components would cost $5300. That's more in line with an air ride suspension. Depending on setup. Your opinion of Lowriding on strictly hydraulics is trash. The real kicker here is you imagining paying $23k and still ending up with a boring copy/paste G_body. Take my view regardless. No like or sub.
