What does it take to build a modern lowrider? How much does it cost? What are the latest technological break-throughs? What are the must-have parts? How do you create a vehicle that glides, bounces, dances, and moves like it’s alive?
Learn the answers to these questions and more at the Petersen Museum on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 10am when the museum presents ”How to Build a Lowrider: From Essential To Extreme“. This one-day celebration of lowrider culture will feature a talk at 11am on building lowriders by award-winning customizers including Ted Wells, Fonzy, Albert De Alba, Doc, Bob Mercado, and Hernan D’Aloia. A hopping demonstration will take place immediately after the talk. The Petersen Museum is located at 6060 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles.
The other part of the celebration will be a car show from 10am till 2pm. Lowriders from all over will converge at the Petersen museum and bring it bajito y suavecito on museum row.
The festivities are free with admission (10 bucks for adults; 3 bucks for children ages 5-12; kiddies under 5 are free).
The lowrider exhibition, La Vida Lowrider: Cruising the City of Los Angeles, will run till June 8, 2008
