What's Happening? ...Name's Mando. 26yrs.old. Run Splt 7 records. Live in EchoxPark, CA. Born in East L.A. (seriously). Raised around Lowriders. cool lowriders. not the overdone bouncing till I flip over gold showcars. About 7 or 8 years ago I discovered friday night @ Bobs. I really dug the rod and custom scene. First went to Paso about 6 years ago. It's cool to see people working on their own cars and actually driving them! also to see cars that were in progress and make into shows. I have '60 2 dr biscayne. When I picked it up it was muscle car style. It has a 327. It had rallys and flowmasters. I plan on turning into a kool cruiser. Flaked top, 59 Pontiac tailights. shave handles, trying out different grill ideas. Haven't made up my mind yet. 60 olds steering wheel. Might lift it front and back, just so it can lay low. Cut 2 coils out the back and have 2in. dropped spindles up front (still to high). I used to cruise my pops 51 chevy 2dr sedan. He snagged it back once he heard about my mild custom plans. I'll dig up some more photos later. Anyways, Let the bashing begin!!! --Mando

I know that car- parked up near Baxter all the time, right? I have never seen it move though, ha ha. I'm on Scott on the way up the hill to Elysian Park. The house with three projects stacked up in the steep driveway on the left. Seen this around?
welcome Mando - thats an intro! Nice car too. Lowriders in East LA?? no way ese.. I was raised in that scene too down there early 80's, was too young to drive but I drooled..
Welcome. Nice to see more people from Hollywood-silverlake -Echo Park area. I dig that car. How about Tangerine flake, Moon disc (screw on) W W's. -stick
hey praised-Yeah it was sitting for a while. It's a ***** to get to really get deep into it w/ no driveway or garage. blah blah. That or i'm broke or lazy. Most the rides aounnd my block are mine or my pops. Over the past couple a years the homeboys have built quite a collection. I've seen your rancho cruising around. Did Imperial customes do the flake? Hey Hooligan- Thanks for the comments. I happen to really dig on Rancid as well. Yo bumpstick. Gracias for the photochop. I was thinking about a deep, royal purple. Actually what croosed my mind was to try and slant the post. I thought that might flow w/ the roof a little better! What do ya think?
