Chris: The Final Score is amazing.
When I look at the Final Score I see
engineering,
craftsmanship
and detail.
The Perfect Score was a three time
Low Rider magazine show winner.
And on our third title coming home
we were cut off
and we got
swiped over onto the embankment
and the car was totaled.
All the club members
came over and they all said, “Chris you need to,"
"come out and do something to"
honor the Perfect Score.”
Out of the ashes of tragedy,
came a new low rider
destined to make history.
Chris: That’s when the Final Score was born.
In honor of the Perfect Score
My car’s name is the Final Score.
It is a `58 Impala
Chevrolet.
When I look at the final score
I see
Engineering,
craftsmanship
and detail.
For all of the fame of his original low rider,
Chris’s fans were immediately approving
of his new build.
Chris: A lot of people didn’t take
fair to it when it first came out.
They were like, “What is this?
This just doesn’t look good.
What are the colors that are mixing?”
But a couple of years it went by and
now you start to see a lot of people
starting to entertain all these different colors.
This impressive low rider is customized
in every way possible.
Chris Jr: So we’ve got right here a custom mural.
We have our car club clack here,
fully engraved.
So as we go through the car
we’ll make out way through the interior now.
Door handles were shaved so we have pop doors.
Ostrich skin in here
with our custom logo engraved in the badges.
Custom steering wheel here with
the custom machined Impala emblem and flags.
All our knobs match.
And they’re all gold leaf
custom floor mats if you look
and the custom gas pedals and speaker covers.
Dakota digital dash which was
a custom piece I believe.
Even the motor was customized.
Chris: The motor of the Final Score is an LS1
that came out of a mid-80s corvette.
The whole engine is engraved
to match, painted the match
pin stripe everything,
matches the rest of the car.
Chris Jr: There’s so much custom parts on this
I want to say what were we up to last time when we counted
Probably close to 600 custom machined parts in this car alone
Top speed, easily probably 120 MPH
Having left behind the shadow of the perfect score.
This low rider now has no shortage of fans.
Chris: This gets everyone’s heads turning when it comes out.
So if you go into a busy area
it’s going to grab a lot of attention.
But with a car called the Final Score,
one has to ask,
is this the final low rider Chris will build?
When would I ever stop building low riders?
I think I have tried to stop, it’s been tough,
as you get older you slow down.
I have my son and my nephew that are
young guns and they’ve been keeping the fire under me to keep me going
Chris Jr : My favorite part of the low rider is when you can get in it go and drive
put the top down
just have fun
and they’re different, they’re unique.
Not everyone likes low riders
but
everyone has their own different taste
and I just like to feel to be behind the wheel or
I like the feel of creation of
building something that’s unique like this.
