Eddie's "Sabroso" '63 was put together in little more than a year and could not have been completed without the help of Hollywood Kustoms and the support of Eddie's family, including his wife, Letty, son Adam and daughter Nylah. This 'flavorful" Impala project definitely took the route that lowriding needs to go-clean frame-off custom "drivers." Eddie tells us that he has another project in the works and that he'll be using Hollywood Kustoms for that car as well. Hey, why mess up a beautiful relationship?
SabrosoOwner: Edgardo "Eddie" Saldana
Vehicle: '63 Chevrolet Impala SS
City/State: Chicago, Illinois
Club: Rollerz Only C.C.-Chicago
Engine/Drivetrain: Bob at Hollywood Kustoms in Northlake, Illinois, installed an '88 Chevy IROC 350-c.i.d. TPI engine and 700R transmission. The new engine was plumbed and wired up using a Painless wiring kit and a factory computer. Tricks include a Billet Specialties serpentine kit, custom cold air intake, and tubular radiator hoses, heater hoses and motor mounts.
Body/Paint: Bob at Hollywood Kustoms used House of Kolor Sunset Pearl as the principal color throughout the car, with silver leaf and pinstriping added later.
Interior: Hollywood Kustoms is a one-stop shop and Bob and Rudy came through with an oyster-colored interior with saddle piping.
Sound System: The car was sent out to X-Envy Audio in West Chicago, Illinois, where they installed a Myron & Davis head unit, Kenwood amplifiers, Kenwood midrange speakers and 12-inch Infinity subs.
Setup: Bob at Hollywood Kustoms is known for building high-quality show setups and this car now features four Hi-Low pumps, four Adex dumps and two whammy tanks. The aluminum center pressure and side return blocks were hard-lined in stainless steel and power is provided by 14 batteries covered with stainless steel polished panels. A pair of 8-inch cylinders are used up front and a set of telescoping 38-inch cylinders in the rear allow the car to lock and lay and do some popular moves like three-wheel motion.
Tires: P155/80-R13 Firestone
Wheels: 13x7 reverse Masterpiece
