Joao Gluck has been involved the car scene from the moment he could afford to do everything he's always dreamt of. Being a little kid growing up playing Midnight Club and Need for Speed, and watching Fast and Furious, it really wasn't difficult to fall in love with the aftermarket automotive scene.
"When I turned 19 I finally had the money to buy a car on my own," remembers Gluck. "So I traded my Impala my parents got me as my first car and was able to leave with a 2011 BMW 328i." He decided to modify the 328i because he wanted it to be unique in every way possible, and make something one probably would never see again. "I feel I've achieved this considering the only parts on my car that are original are the doors," laughs Guck.
The only person who really helped Gluck on his build was my friend, Ronald, who owns a shop called RJQ Autoworks. "He laid the sick paint job on my car and helped to insure the wide body went on perfectly," Gluck mentions. "He also custom made my front fenders for me so that they would be 1 of 1.
Gluck takes inspiration from everything and everyone, and tries to take something he likes from it to make it his own.
