06/09/2008 09:04. It's no surprise that Anthony Aguilar acquired an interest in automotive customizing. For this resident of Surprise, Arizona, hot cars just run in the family. "Cars are a big part of our family," Anthony admits. "I've been with lowriders and hot rods since I was young." In fact, it was Anthony's parents who blessed him with this '62 Chevy Impala. "My parents bought it for me when I was 15," he says.

The '62 now known as "The Blue Carpet Treatment" has been tinkered and toyed with, tweaked and fine tuned many times since Anthony was a teenager. The "deuce" has been completely transformed from its earlier incarnation. "This is the second makeover for the car," Anthony explains. "It was [mostly] a father and son project in the backyard. I learned a lot from this project."
