‘89 Chevrolet Caprice

When you do anything for the first time, it’s usually a bit rough, but this wasn’t the case for Jacks first go at spraying up the Caprice.

After perfecting his technique for lowrider patterning on skateboards, he turned his flake skills to a larger canvas - the Caprice (affectionately nicknamed #craprice )

Take a look for yourselves and if you like what you see - check out the rest of jacks fleet - @smithjack or purchase a deck from @forgedfromflake

Before I venture back into the LNP workshop tomorrow I figured I should put together and after show vid with some highlights from the weekends festivities at the @gravityshowuk featuring not just the rides but the team who, without them, the displays just wouldn’t happen! Huge shout to our friends @miledeepuk for the support, sponsorship and spinning wax @basicallybains for being brilliant on the mic and @matt64rag for catching the footage along with the riders themselves @sunny_solo3 @rhondathehondax @lowriderjon and @umeracle and their people because after all Lowriding is a family affair! #uklowrider #uklowriding #lowrider #lowriding #laynplay by @basicallybains

No April Fools here! A couple weeks back @matt64rag took me out in his Impala for the first cruise of 2026, a lil prep before my wedding for which Matt (a best man alongside @basicallybains) had offered the vert as the wedding car. Not long into the trip the passenger side half shaft decided it would be fun to snap right at the hub in the middle of busy roadworks. Brakes failing, it slid around 100m on the trailing arm. Luckily a road worker at the scene totally reorganised the traffic around us and a few hours later a tilt bed arrived, dragged the six-fo aboard and took it home. If you’re here for Lowriding at its worst, you deserve Lowriding at its best. Big props to all involved, @rockauto_llc got the parts to the uk in time and Matt fitted them ready for the best day of my life. What a start to 2026! @icecube forever providing the soundtrack! #uklowriding #lowrider #uklowrider #lowriding #laynplay by @basicallybains

Images lost to a harddrive.

Apparently, we went to Scotland last year and these pics never made it off the laptop… we’ll have a revival.

The @laynplay_uk UK Lowrider night was pretty damn good, the Caprice won best in show.
Was nice to have it there and win even if it broke, even if the engine sounded like a bag of spanner’s and pissed oil everywhere.
Onwards and upwards to getting it back on the road and doing what I should’ve originally. Get someone I trust to help and put a diesel in it.
Hope you’re ready for a challenge @gringoszanto.
