Gene Winfield- Legendary custom car builder, hot rodder, metal fabricator, and designer sat down with Matchstick, Josie, and Nic to talk about everything from how Gene got his start lowering cars and building hot rods in his mom’s chicken coop in Modesto, CA to the present day where a nearly 90 year old Gene still swings a hammer and continues to innovate creating some of the most unique and futuristic designs of all time. Gene really opened up in this interview and gave some fascinating insight into his time building hot rods and drag racing in Japan in the 1950’s, working on the Ford Custom Car Caravan, his friendship with Syd Mead, his work building TV and Movie cars with AMT like the Galileo shuttlecraft for Star Trek, what he’s thinking about when he lays out his signature blend paintjobs, and more in this incredible interview. It’s a great podcast to wrap up the first year of this show and an great look forward into some of the exciting stuff going on in the custom car world for 2017.
