Spitting facts, the car scene in general was better in the 90s and 00s. Ppl wanted their car to be different from the next. These days lowriders and the JDM scene has become very cookie cutter. I still love the cars. But like you said, I know what the car show is going to consist of before going. But when I went to shows as a kid in the 90s and a teen in 00s you never knew what was going to be at the show Wonder if social media has played a role in the custom car scene become more sterile. And I'd rock a conversion no problem, that's true hot rod stuff, and without hot rodding there would be no hot rodding.

Roll what you can afford and some conversations are done nicer that a factory ride as far a s reinforcing the body and frame of course the vin will say different but oh well the price will reflect as well

Man I’d still roll a conversion, if it’s clean it’s clean who’s gonna come check my registration?

A conversion all fucking day nobody pays my bills the only thing is I don’t use for doors just use a two door but I’m not knocking the man that uses a four-door it’s all good low ride to the wheels fall off

I got a 68 impala straight stripped to the body rn I’m gonna re build it from the ground up it’s a factory rag top and I don’t see many 68s on hydraulics too often I love it but I’m gonna build this and then I’m gonna get me a 64 too and have two Lowriders🔥🎭

and yeah id roll a conversion. fuck it n fuck what other people think. long as its clean bih.

seen a cutlass converted to rag that shit was hard

it's like down here in Miami with the donks everybody says "you gotta have a vert" and there's a whole hardtop vs vert thing going on... personally i like either or. and same goes for a 64.

do the 13 vs 14s on next podcast bru

I think it don't matter if your end goal is to make a lowrider.

64 impala choptop for sale 22k obo ... solid work.. needs paint 7147858597

I don't see the problem to be honest, the way I see it you're saving a 4dr improving it in pretty much every way. I guess the only problem is crooked sellers that aren't honest about the conversion but you think the title would clear that up.

adam cz facts

Here's my thing..why is ok for a 93-96 Fleetwood 4door to be turned into a 2 door, or a Lincoln Town car but yet when an Impala gets converted now it's frowned on. Makes no sense! I'm for anything that looks clean, even if it was converted.

Shit I wish I can afford a rag or conversion...don't matter to me, I love anything clean af. Caliboy I feel you on the struggling part, shit I am right now but I know it's not forever just got to make the best of it. All in the Lord's hands

Been saying this for a long time, shits like this with the euro and imports too. If you have an e30 with square headlights, if ur e30 ain’t sitting on bbs. If you got the depot lights. Bro relax and let people enjoy their toys. Take notes from the Japanese car scene, they have everything and anything and are appreciated the more different their ride is. Love the message dude. Death is certain for everyone and you can’t take your ride with you. Bury me in my coupe tho 🙏🏽🙏🏽

You on point bro...

2 dr caprice looks way better with euro clip that was never factory who cares

If its a conversion that's cool. Because it takes talent to make it clean

Your on point bro all true facts. Keep the pod cast coming. You preaching now bro.. i would roll a conversion. Like you said just do you. Stop trying to impress folks that don't pay your bills anyway

Take us to the shops where The real conversion work is done I have an 84 Cope Deville And a 95 Fleetwood I wanna cut Them up Badd

@aDaywithCALIBOY Yeah but I wanna know who to take my car to So I don't take it to the wrong shop😎🤘 The good the badd the ugly I'm in Florida

Ellis Glass I have posted a video of someone doing tops 🙃

It doesn't matter get your roll on 😎 You got to love this shitt in order to ignore stupidity....... Love it and just roll (don't get mad don't get jealous just get you one)

I like what you're saying bro, I'm on the East Coast in Virginia. The Lowrider scene is coming up but most of the best times I've had is when I go to Custom Car shows with jacked up trucks, old school muscle, bikes, pro touring, euros, mini trucks, imports, a real party mix! It is cool to appreciate others work, they appreciate my work and we network and vibe! Peace in the Streets! I'm digging the fact that Lowriders and Hot Rods are coming together here in the East! I'm making it a point that they see me at events and cruising and they are inviting me to their shoes now! Bridging Gaps, doing me!!

THERE IS NO RULES IN LOW RIDING AND NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!

COME ON CALI BOY CUZZ DROP THAT PART 3 EPISODE CUZZ

aDaywithCALIBOY HELL YEAH TALK THAT SHIT LOC

Rip Rydah I need too huh lol

Man it’s the same thing as a salvage. I pull up in a mclaren that has a salvage title I doubt somebody gonna run up and say before I give you props is this salvaged

MAN FOOL YOU WRONG HOMIE A 62 OR 61 OR 58 - 59 IMPALA CONVERSION IS FOUL...KEEP IT HARDTOP IF U CHOP IT ITS TRASH ESPECIALLY IF U SELL IT AS A REAL RAG! NOW .G BODIES CADDIES OR FLEETWOOD BIG BODY ARE THE SHIT ...WHY CUZ THEY NEVER MADE THEM THATS WHY U GET PROPS CUZ THEY BVV WERE NEVER MADE ON ONE CO MADE THEM AND ITS RARE TO FIND A GBODY RAG.

Yeah I would row conversions

Excellent post!!! Thank you for opening up the subject.

A conversion that was made out of rust free donor is more real than a convertible that had floors quarters trunk and doors replaced with Taiwan parts

Say what??? Santa Claus is real??? lol hahaha 😂

I grew up in Cali but never stayed in touch with the lowrider scene. I have a chopped top Cutty with no rag. Is that frowned upon out west?

I sold my 2door box an i regret it every single day i had it so clean all caddy conversion 44inch caddy sunroof .pillow back seats digital caddy dash all chrome.pieces cut out to fit the outside panels . . the desicion i.had to do to lt was and. Ls8 or a working convertable top. Well some hard times came up and i sold the caprice for nickels an dimes. I see two door stock wit nothin on it jus ok clean an their selling for more then my dumb ass could of sold for . dam smh .. Last picture i saw of it . it was at TJ The AVE shop roof cut off but i guess the couldnt afford to finish it . dam wat a waist of a clean caprice custom . but any.way id roll a conversion as long as its done rite an looks clean when the top is up .

How much will it cost to change a hard top to a rag top

Bal Ruiz I don’t do conversions

Id roll a conversion. CV stands for conversion also. Its all up to the individual. Keep up the vid Caliboy.

Cali boy keeping it real thanks! respect if you have a conversion or real convertible

Hey what's good Kelly boy yeah I'll part man yeah that's a good thing man that's good thing you doing but the topic about conversions and real convertibles if it's up to me Me Myself and I hey homie roll that thing to the wheels fall off and somebody want to buy whole well and I'm saying cash out move on I can care less if it was a real one AR conversion I can't believe people hate so hard on stuff like that I feel like you the 90s the 80s and earlier on the lowrider culture it amazes me I like that type of stuff in the the stuff nowadays but hey keep doing your thing man I respect you got much love for you you know peace out

Why not conversion or not heck even old Hollywood tops and yes why not be different the whole point of lowriding is not the same cookie cutter shit amd like you said Hit a show 61z65 impalas and g bodies everywhere a few caddies .. When was the last time someone pulled out a old 70s Hollywood top tbird? They made them from factory as well as T top.. Heck even some old pontiacs and odd cars? (Bombs) mostly chevy but why not a 47 pontiac torpedo? Or like some cats in CA packards and caddies of the day people need to think we all done odd cars somewhere creativity is what its about.

Why 2 pumps and not 4 pump set up?

Next time refer to sales on the comfortables

I won't hate on no one for that

Make a rule book you have that much power and respect no lie ask around

West UP Caliboy!!! you should talk about Hydraulics vs Air Ride not about what is better but just the fact that we are all lowriders and share the same passion for these classic cars but we don't all have the same bank account. i could never afford to get my frame done, buy the set up and pay for the install BUT... $2500 later and i'm ridding just like any other lowrider but i can't hop it or do 3 wheel but OH WELL. I can still drop the ass and cruise it. Don't hate, congratulate! Peace from the PNW/Seattle area

Aint nothing wrong with a conversion. Im all about custom. What is more custom then taking a 4-door and making it a 2-door convertible w hydraulics and I agree, if the top work wtf can you say? Im thinking bout converting a 63 my damn self!

I'm the same way I find it amazing that someone can turn a 4 door into a 2door car game has to be innovative if it'ss you're car do whatever the fuck u wanna do

Real talk the 90s car shows were totally different way more cars entered to

Whats the difference between lay n play and pro hopper

Spot on bro if you chop the top off of a mini bed dancing truck people like it but they never came out factory verts (some) but they hate on other rides so fuck it ride what you like just like you say bro 💯

Thank you for always keeping it real! Looking forward to watching your next podcast!!!!

Glad you corrected it being a lifestyle 😁

Do a podcast on 90 two door Fleetwood conversions. Do you have to have the side panels. I don't think so. The front clip and bumper and tail lights should be sufficient. Everybody think you need a full d'Elegance package

Shows are boring. Same shit year after year. Walk around for an hour and you're bored. The streets is where it's at

It really doesn't matter!

Good show !!!

Honestly, I care if it's a real rag or not for myself, because when I buy my first Impala, I plan to keep it for a really long time. I'm not after a rag specifically, I'm 50/50 on CV's and HT's. I don't care if others have a conversion or not, but it does suck if people are chopping up a perfectly fine hard top just to have a rag, because they're not making any more of these cars, and the prices seem to keep going up. One of the pages I follow on Instagram that flips Chevy's (Campos Collision or Hess the Rag Shop I think) posted a bracket/panel in the trunk by the quarter panel of a CV. I'm not sure if that was year specific, or on all convertibles. Just go look at some of these nice hard tops before you decide to cut the top off, OG Tweet's 64HT for example. I think it's lame when the rag guys crack jokes on hard tops, I remember first getting into these cars I was surprised people shit on 4-doors too. I thought it would be all love, especially amongst other Chevy owners. Digging the videos Caliboy, keep up the good work.

HOMIE UR A 100% DEAD ON POINT LIKE THE WAY U KEEP IT REAL

Bernardo Ureno-Flores 💯💯💯💯

I like that t shirt tho bro

Yeah I do that with most of my builds try to find the least way I can put in my ride and still make it look cool. I fill that the way that the person builds there car that fits there budget and that is cool as long as they are having fun with what they built. Right on Caliboy for bringing up this subject because I to go to many diffrent car, truck, motorcycles, boat, plan, ART SHOWS to get idea's from all over the place if you are not going to many diffrent shows then you are missing out on many diffrent idea's and meeting diffrent people. I'm from Northen California bay area. It's not just about vehicles it's about many diffrent enjoyment of life. Don't get me wrong I am a car freak I can name all kinds of cars truck's from the 70s on back to the early 1900s and know the history and why who design it and why they did.

Heck they are building 1965 Fast Back Mustang, 1964 impala, Ford's, 1932-1936 and a lot of other car's that they get all the metal stamped out sent to there home all in boxes. Put it together in there garage. You will see the car and wonder how it was kept so clean all those years. It is because that car was built brand new over 2 year's in a garage. There is a shop in San Francisco that builds 1932-34s brand new with all the modern-day technology power breaks power steering heater air-conditions.

I like your content but I didn't see the point in this video it's kind of hating on foos.

@aDaywithCALIBOY ain't nothing wrong with a conversion I want me an 80 fleetwood convertible

I've seen a grip of custom convertible. Love G Body Rags and Rag Boxes. To each there own as long its looks good. I respect all builds

It doesn't matter to me I like anything

Lots of young guys in the game that are bringing the division Some of old guys were brought up respecting the other guys ride when I started in the game in1971 it was a different time everyone rolled what they wanted no disrespect to each other lots of custom cars lots of street cars but no division miss those days

The 90s were badass

Only cars that can be converted from 4 door to 2 door convertible are newer caddys cause they dont make 2 doors..but if they make a convertible buy a real convertible

Only problem with conversions are the people that try to pawn them off to the next man as a real rag. Other than that, buy what you can afford and what makes you happy.

Fuck yea I'd roll a conversation..dope ass video keep them coming

Buy a real rag top impala only

You're Podcasts Are On Point!

Stop defending yourself u good u act like after the video its niggas already waiting on dat ass outside or sum lol

I like the conversion convertibles. They still look badass no different.

Hydraulics vs Air? Are Air rides considered lowriders?

🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

i know u have it in your head.. please do a podcast on airbags. is a airbagged truck or car a REAL lowrider? what makes a lowrider a lowrider?

Eric P 😉

😲😲

By the way I'm lovin that shirt is that your design or can you send me a link where I can pick it up....right on

I appreciate the way you address the elephant in the room speak on the unspoken keep it up bro!

🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Lowriding is full of fools that act like it’s cool to act like bitches now a days. MAKE LOWRIDING GREAT AGAIN

👍💯✌️

👌

If it ain’t real you can keep it.

Great video

I have spoken with the original owner of Zenith Wire Wheels. His name was Craig and he owned Zenith till his passed away from colon cancer in the early 2000’s. I currently have a set of original Zeniths stashed away. The original shop jumped around a few locations. But all 3 shops that I knew of were located in Campbell, CA. The set of wheels that I had built by Zenith way back then were stolen in 2002. I used to have a set of 16” Type 2’s that I regret trading to Craig for a set of 100 straight spikes. These were the ones stolen in 2002.

Good videos but it’s repetitive when you say “once again” your not going to offend anyone it’s a video at the end of the day some will smile some will frown just do the videos Cali boy

Man the hardest low riders to me is a 2 door big body Fleetwood convertible and none came from the dealership like that if it wasn’t for Topo thinking outside the box this would’ve never been possible low riding is an art an expression of what you like and I’m sure no one is saying the 2 door Fleetwood conversation is ugly or not worth anything so people need to just let people do what they want and stop worrying about it it’s their car and they money period

All them people that thumbs downed this video mad af cause they got a 4 door rag conversion in the pre rag stage for life. 🤣

I don't give a damn!! I'm thinking about chopping the top on my 63!! Just because I want to look the one Cube had in Boyz N The Hood

My cousin has a rag 61 impala 4door with the paper work conversion. He also has a 68 impala for real. No one knows it’s a conversion. Buuuut. He’s selling the 61.I would ride it for real. Ps. Thanks for being 200

💯 JUST LOWRIDE NO MATTER WAT U HAVE, IT'S IN UR HEART FOR LOWRIDING THAT KEEPS IT ALIVE!

. Just be yourself and do what makes u happy! 💯. Do a video on Repop parts vs OG parts

Damm I just saw a couple sunday cruise Crenshaw videos and there's seems to be a shit load of rags!! Hahaha now I'm always going wonder if there real at show's

Once concept for a blog. You need a sidekick to have an opposing view. So why dont we see fords or even Lincoln CV on continental's at vfc these shows?

Do people still bet money on hops or is that not a thing anymore?🤔
