In this episode of MotorTrend Channel, the team at Impala Paul's Place takes on the challenge of transforming a 1959 Impala into a stunning low rider masterpiece. Paul, the owner, wants Shorty, a master painter, to work his magic on the car with intricate low rider patterns, chrome suspension, and hydraulics. The car holds a special place in Paul's heart, as it reminds him of his great-grandfather's 1958 Impala. The team brings in a group of skilled painters and low rider enthusiasts to assist with the project, creating a dream team of car enthusiasts.
The team meticulously plans the paint job, incorporating elements like metal flakes, water drops, and custom colors to give the car a unique and eye-catching look. They carefully remove trim and accessories from the car, taking great care not to damage anything. Shorty begins the painting process, using his expertise to create stunning patterns and textures on the car's exterior. The team brings in a gold leafing and pin striping expert to add the finishing touches, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the design.
Meanwhile, in a separate project, the team also works on a 1992 Mustang GT, a car that holds sentimental value for Paul's wife. Although Junior, another member of the team, tries to convince Paul to sell the car, Paul's wife remains attached to it. The team plans to give the Mustang some much-needed TLC, restoring it to its former glory.
Overall, this episode showcases the passion and dedication of the team at Impala Paul's Place as they work to turn ordinary cars into extraordinary works of art. With their expertise and attention to detail, they are able to create stunning low rider designs that pay homage to the rich culture and history of the low rider community.
