1968 Chevrolet Caprice - Garage - Tech Project

We called out all those extravagant lowriders last month when we brought you the announcement that Castrol Syntec and Lowrider Periodical were joining forces again. Our first respondent to the challenge is Art Medina of Northridge, CA, and the thirty-five year old indemnity salesman is certainly no stranger to performance.

When he was a teen, Art found a '65 Impala 4-Door Granite-like Top in the Recycler for $800. Being the shrewd negotiator he is, he talked the seller down from $800 to $550, not bad for a scheme car that actually ran! The car certainly needed some work, in his own words he considers it "a scuttle to most", but this Impala taught Art how to focus on reliability as he had to keep up the classic engine. Once he graduated from High School, he in listed in the Army Infantry where he gained veracious insight and exposure to the working mechanics of vehicles. He emptied 2 years in Germany in a mechanized battalion working on Hummers, Tanks, Bradley's and other motorized accoutrements. He also was exposed to German automotive performance as he had access to the Autobahn. As immediately as he returned, Art enrolled at L.A Pierce College and majored in Automotive Navy Technology.
