Technician Tim Lona specializes in building lowriders.
From Danielle Hogerty’s article on the KCUR website:
When Tim Lona was a teenager, he pestered his dad for a car.
“He was like ‘Hey, I’m not going to buy you one. You have to build your own. There’s a ’64 Impala in back that I’ll give you,’” Lona said. So, with help from his family, he rebuilt the car from the ground up.
Since then, Lona has restored and rebuilt hundreds of cars at his family’s shop on Southwest Boulevard. He comes from a three-generation family of mechanics, and the shop has been in its location in Kansas City’s Westside neighborhood since 1912.
Now, Lona specializes in customizing low-rider cars with fancy metal flake paint-jobs, chrome wheels and hydraulic systems that allow these cars to go very, very low.
