I owe Richard tremendously for being my mentor as a teenager in high school. I learned how to do custom suspension work, mainly hydraulics from Richard at Fine Tune Automotive still my favorite job I’ve ever had. Thanks Richard

Wait, they rocking Mary Wells & Low Riders in Utah? I love it🥰

[@timmitzlaff8960]

This reminded me of the first real low rider I ever saw. It was 1969 I was working at a Mobil filling station on Fremont & Mission in So. Pas. This dude Angelo came in to visit my Brother in Law who was the mechanic. He was driving a 62 Impala, white with red interior. He opened the trunk and what I saw blew my mind. I had never seen a trunk full of batteries before, and didn’t understand it.

Yeayy! I loved EVERYTHING in and about this cool video. The intro music and slow, slow pan around the car(s) was just too awesome. 🙂

Nice for starting the lowrider in Utah next cut should be about hoppers and the difference between that and lowriders 😊

I remember when these guys started putting hydraulics on the cars, back in the late seventy's early eighties.
