Before hitting the boulevard, Chuy and "Big Manny" juiced the car with a hard-lined two-pump whammy hydraulics setup that allows him to lay it low as well as drive smoothly. Now Chuy enjoys the car every time that he takes it out to cruise or go to a car show. This '39 has won numerous awards and trophies since it was put on the streets. Chuy especially enjoys cruising to La Palma Park and reminiscing how lowriding was done back in the day.
Chuy gives special thanks to his dad, mom, brothers, sister, friends and his car club members from Southern Royalty. If you see this bomb at a local car show, drop by and say hi to Chuy. He's always willing to help out, take the time to chill and enjoy the day with no worries, especially when his '39 is looking so fine.
La RevolucionOwner: Chuy BarreraVehicle: '39 Chevrolet Master DeluxeCity/State: Anaheim, CaliforniaClub: Southern Royalty C.C.
Engine/Drivetrain: Chuy took the engine to another level with the help of his crew at Barrera Motors in Anaheim. The stock 216-c.i.d. engine was rebuilt and modified with three custom chrome carburetors, chrome valve cover and an intake manifold that was polished to a mirror-like finish. The bomb was also equipped with a 11/2-inch exhaust and 18-inch glasspacks.
Body/Paint: The Chevy brown taken from a '95 Astro Van was just the right tone for Chuy. "Toker" from Toker Customs in Hollywood, California, took on the task of perfecting the body and painting it to Chuy's liking. The pinstriping was done by Mike Lamberson in Ontario, California, and the revolutionary murals were applied by "Japo" in Pomona, California.
Interior: Chuy takes pride in the reupholstered interior and his collection of accessories, which includes an umbrella holder, two pipe holders, glove box clock, GM tissue dispenser, OG deluxe radio, Smokey Bear cigarette holder, redhead flashlight, Fulton rear view mirror shade, Fulton traffic viewer, compass, Trico fan and cigarette dispenser. Chuy estimates that he spent more than $5,000 on accessories alone.
Sound System: Chuy installed a clean sound system featuring a Pioneer CD player, two amps and Pyle woofers, mids and highs.
Setup: Chuy and "Big Manny" hooked up a chrome whammy setup that includes four dumps, 6-inch (front) and 8-inch (rear) cylinders, four batteries, four solenoids, six switches and steel tubing.
Tires: P155/80-R13
Wheels: The 13x7 Crystals will be replaced with artilleries fitted with Firestone whitewalls
