Ok...so when we find photos posted by our readers that capture our eye, we try to read through the comments to ensure we are giving credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, we did not accomplish that on our latest post of this '70 Impala built by, correction...OSCAR LUNA (photo by Willie Ramirez, Jr.). We, as builders ourselves, by no means would intentionally give credit of one builders piece to another. Although the camaraderie between both builders mentioned is as solid as the club they represent, we respect the build as well as the photo. We apologize for the incorrect information previously posted.

I really hope im not going insane.... But This is one thing the internet doesnt have??? I mean I had it i use to look at it and wishd i could build them like he did.......ANYONE?????
I have several of the scale low rider magazines but the first 5 seem to be alluding me I've looked everywhere to try and buy them at the magazines absolutely fantastic and you forgot your models are out of this world we don't get them this side of the pond EG the UK but bigger American car fanbase over here and in the rest of Europe we have one very large American car show over here called the can American show at Newark and Notts showground today show what some of the earlier American iron as well as some of the the newer vehicles but I've never seen any Lowriders there what is a real shame.
If any one of your members could help me with the first five copies of the lowrider magazine I would appreciate even who is coloured photocopies of the whole magazine as I find them extremely interesting yours frustrated model in the UK

Hi all models of the lowrider scale model group
I've been looking at some of your models in the magazines but I haven't managed to get hold of the very first 5 issues was a bit annoying this side of the pond even the UK.
Looking at some of your models inspired me to do a rebuild of a union kit 48 Ford convertible which I bought in a job lot few bits of missing but it doesn't matter because I've got a second one that I can cast the parts off of. I'm also doing a very early Cadillac I think it's 19:53 I'm going to be doing that one as a Lowrider with a two tone paint job the roof is going to be silver and the rest of the body is going to be metallic black the the paint that you show me the light on shoes different colours through it full of quite nice with a black and silver interior to match no photos at the moment still busy working on it same with the Ford stripping the Old paint off is being a bit of a pain well that's going to be a nice candy apple red with a white and red interior with her white roof to match for the convertible part.
I would love to be able to download the first 5 issues of your magazine is absolutely incredible once I've got I must have read them over and over with some of the ideas you guys come up with her incredible mind you I managed to get hold of a few books from the States on lowrider scene we got nothing like that in the UK.
Who one thing we haven't got the cars that are capable of doing that sort of thing with plus we haven't got an hispanic community in the UK as such I have seen a few Low Riders at the can American show at Newark and Notts Showground in the UK it's a two day show over a complete weekend price of few old ones are model tables at model shows.
