It doesn’t take much to buy a new car. Have good credit, sign a few papers, and you’re done. Building a lowrider, on the other hand, is a whole different experience. It takes patience, dedication, and a whole lotta headaches that can best be summed up by Snoop Dogg’s chorus on his hit track, Ups & Downs:
“There Will Be, Ups and Downs, Smiles and Frowns
Share with Me, Fairy Tales Or Make Believe”
Just ask Scott Maxwell from True Game car club. Behind the clean outer appearance of his 1962 Impala is 20 months of grit and grind. “Building this lowrider has definitely had its ups and downs,” says Scott. “I’ve had the car for about 2.5 years, and I’m proud to say that I put together every bit of it myself. For me building a lowrider means you have to get your hands dirty and execute it in a style that best reflects you,” he adds.
