Event Coverage ***Gene Winfield Open House Pics ***

YA he is a tool....Me owns Huntington Beach Body Works...and he also designs the worlds ugliest ****ing wheels.....He does not belong in those pics!!!!!

 

FYI, that's Rich Evans a close friend of Gene's and one hell of a painter, more into the industrial style airbrush stuff. his style is obviously off topic for this site, not my cup of tea but one has to appreciate good work when they see it. also a really nice guy, met him at one of Gene's workshops, super down to earth and loves what he does.

He wasn't very down to earth while I was there....he was trying to hard to impress.....

Do you ever notice that the really good builders/customizers/painters etc.... are very humble and don't wear T-shirts with their full name plastered accross the front??? (and have leather colored flames sewn onto their black boots)

 

haha thats funny

 

I took a few pics. Hope this works, Dan

 

A few pics taken in Gene's backyard:

A candid shot of Maestro Hines in his candy-apple Brougham:

 

Cool pics

 

it was a good gathering. i got to take some pics and see my old buddy and teacher.
he's the guy standing with Watson.

 

oooh! is that THE solar scene merc?

 

Wow~Great pictures. Thank you for sharing...Looks like a good time for everyone!

 

did you actually talk to him? i never said anything about his clothing style, just that he does good work when it comes to his style of painting. and i don't see anything wrong with someone wearing a shirt with the name of their business on it, although i will agree its not very subtle in this case.

nice pictures by the way, i'm bummed that i couldnt make it and i cant believe that green Cadillac is still sitting out there rotting, it has to have been at least 4 years now . . .

 

Rich Evans is not humble by any means. Ive never seen his work, but the way he carries himself you would think he invented paintjobs alltogether. How humble can you be to wear a tshirt with your own name on your chest?

 

Great stuff....thanks for sharing

 

Its a fibergl*** recreation of solor scene

 

The Ferrari is Gene's son ride

 

That sure looked like a lot of fun!!
Is this an annual event?

 

Gene's son Steve Winfield is in the red Ferrari hat. He stopped by our camp at Bonneville looking for some spare parts for Gene's car. He's a really nice guy & you gotta give props to him for helping his "dear ol' dad" try to set a new B'ville record.

 

this guy 2nd from right deserves to be in the pics,,
anyone notice winfield and watson swapped shirts

 

Wish I could of gone.

 

Any more pics of that silver flaked 53/4 Chevy hardop?

 

Thanks for the pics, I would loved to have been there. Maybe next year...

 

Here's a few more shots...

 

last couple shots. Had a great time. Had a chance to wonder thru the shop, pretty cool stuff.

 

Nice cars, pictures, and good to see some of the original car builders together. I would like to have been there.

 

what a barf wagon. why would someone do this to the top?

 

I noticed Herb Martinez there too, one of the top stripers around these days.....when the "greats gather".

 

Is that Doctor Chris Sabatino, Cadillac Guru?

"DocSab"?

He makes those wheels that Sienna Rose '60 cadillac is sporting if it is him. He was like a former Mr. Universe or something, does concours Cadillac restorations, AND is a practicing chiropractor in Hollywood!
