Found a article about it online
Munoz and Divine One Customs opened their doors in 2006 and every year since they have displayed their automotive art at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. They have in fact developed into southern Nevada's premier “one-stop” full auto customization shop. Their 2012 SEMA production was a crowd stopping 1951 Ford Tudor, created for the car's owner, Thomas Joseph Lavin, better known as T.J. Lavin. Lavin is a BMX rider, professional musician, and host of MTV's “The Challenge.”
This 1951 Ford Tudor was not much before its arrival at the 2012 SEMA Show

“T.J. called me one night and said 'I found the car.' He had been searching for a 'shoebox' type car for a few years. Something for a 'rat rod' type of build,” explained Munoz. “I drove to his house, hooked up a trailer, and we drove to Bakersfield, California to arrive at a private residence at 2 a.m. This car was in bad shape. Rust, a horrible chop job, bad bodywork, and no interior. I knew we had a serious project on our hands.”For the duration of their drive from Bakersfield back to Vegas T.J. and Munoz had already thrown around a bunch of ideas. The design and creative process had officially started before they had even taken the car back to the shop. “He wanted a WWII type of bomber plane look,” said Munoz. “We bounced a few ideas off each other during the course of the build, but ultimately he let me 'do my thing.' We actually didn't even talk about the car for six months or so and when he came back from his latest MTV filming shoot I had something concrete for him to look at, and he loved the direction I was headed. A few months after that the car was complete and ready for debut at the 2012 SEMA show.”

The finished 1951 Ford features a newly chopped roof, shaved keyholes, custom handles, and custom created trunk and wipers. The military inspired olive-drab paint scheme with airbrushed pinup artwork and lettering captures the WWII Bomber theme perfectly. And the air-bag suspension and sliding ragtop hints at the contemporary technology hidden beneath the historic camouflage. “It takes a team of dedicated individuals with a commitment to perfection to build a car for SEMA,” remarked Munoz. “And getting ready for SEMA involves long hours and attention to the details.”It's hard to imagine that only six months before the 2012 SEMA show this 1951 Ford bomber was a rust bucket

During the show the interior details of the vehicle received the most attention, with the Kicker CVX 10″ woofers designed as bombs, the meticulously riveted sheet-metal door panels, bomber style gauges and aircraft carrier seats. Center stage under the hood Munoz positioned a K&N chrome air filter. “Because when it comes to filters, K&N is the best,” he adds. Munoz and Divine One Customs have only used K&N products since the day they started.Munoz's fascination with cars surfaced early. “I started getting hands-on at the age of 14 and continued doing it as a hobby until I started my company in 2004. Then Divine One Customs opened in 2006 and the rest is history I guess.”
TJ Lavin's 1951 WWII themed sled caught much attention at SEMA 2012
TJ Lavin's 1951 WWII themed sled caught much attention at SEMA 2012“I think our specialty is the attention to detail we put into each and every build. We build anything and everything. We have been called to the design table to do a number of off the wall designs, and or to come up with creative ideas for jobs that don't necessarily have anything to do with vehicles. But cars and trucks are my passion and I try to surround myself with individuals who I can work with that feel the same.”
Auguste Rodin looked at a hunk of rock and saw “The Thinker,” Munoz was given a tarnished four-wheel heap and envisioned a show stopping custom Tudor. Given the choice between a painting of a soup can or a bowl of fruit, Munoz's form of artistic expression wins hands down.
Find K&N products for your vehicle using the K&N application search then use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer in your part of the world.
