Pourquoi y'a un volant qui gâche tout ?...

éffectivement, c'est vraiment domage pour le volant

Cacaproutesque, le volant, en effet !!!

Most eleven-year-old kids have daydreams of shopping sprees in toy stores or eating ice cream but for Jose Silva, his dream was much more grandiose. He certainly wanted a toy of his own, but we aren't talking about Hot Wheels here; Jose wanted the real thing. A product of Rioverde SLP Mexico, Jose and his family migrated to the north side of Houston, Texas where an afternoon sighting near his school inspired Jose's dream. He saw his first Lowrider that day, it was a Bomb truck, "I couldn't even tell you the year," Jose tells us, "I was just mesmerized." It was in that moment that he put away the kiddie dreams and latched onto the big boy dream of owning his own Bomb, so he began saving his paychecks and putting away his "Bomba" fund.




Jose began testing his passion on a couple of Oldsmobile Cutlass vehicles but the creativity wouldn't last long as Jose became more invested in getting married and relocating to Middlesex, North Carolina. He found a new car to cruise in with his friends but his fortune changed when he got wind of a rumor going around that a 1949 Chevy 3100 truck was for sale locally. Jose drove to see the truck and knew from the moment he first saw it that it was the truck he was dreaming of. While he saw a dream, his friend that made the trip with him saw more of a nightmare as the truck had been neglected for a long time and needed a ton of work. Jose's goal was to prove his friend wrong and turn the truck into a rolling work of art.




He had the truck towed directly to a restoration shop in Carolina because of their promise that they could complete the job. After six grueling months, Jose wasn't impressed with the progress or work they had done so he had the truck taken back to his house. His loyal Majestics brothers worked tirelessly, replacing all the truck's metal and bringing her back to life step by step. The end result took about two years to finish and Jose can now look back with enjoyment and pride with his accomplishment. "I have to thank my loving and understanding wife, Angelica, my son, Anthony, and daughter, Ashley, for allowing me to spend my free time building my truck," Jose tells LRM. "I also have to thank my Majestic brothers, Carlos Gomez and Sherod Peace, for their help." Aztek 49 may have started as a pile of rust in a field, but it ended up becoming one of the finest Chevy bombs on the East Coast.
