Art & Inspiration Looking for hot rod garages in CA !

Hi guys !

We (Tim Wallace and me, Jess) are professional car photographers from the UK, we shoot for Aston Martin, Morgan, Jaguar...
We come end of this month in San Francisco for holidays and we are looking for hot rods garages mainly in California (not further than Los Angeles) and also in Las Vegas...
And finally if you have any other suggestions for good shooting spots !

Here you can take a look at our website :www.ambientlife.co.uk

Thank you very much for your help !

If you are in San Francisco - Roy Brizio Street Rods is your place http://roybriziostreetrods.com/

 

Are you looking for commercial shops? Or peoples home garages?

 

Try to get permission to photograph the displays at the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles.

Hi guys and thanks for the feedback, we are looking really for commercial places or possibly private if they have the right sort of vintage feel to a workshop area, in truth though not too fussy just a would be nice to have thing if the car was in a good vintage or interesting engineering surrounding.

 

There's Seret Customs north east of San Francisco: http://www.seretcustoms.com/

North of San Francisco in Cotati is Cotati Speed Shop: http://cotatispeedshop.com/

Even Better would be Vern Tardel's shop up in Santa Rosa: http://www.verntardel.com/

If you are in country this weekend, check out the Gasser Round Up in Lompoc, Ca.

 

You can check out Taylor Street Rods (my father-in-laws shop) in East Los Angeles.
It's been a garage/shop since the 20's-30's. Basically owned by the same family since Day 1.
Has a cool vintage "feel": http://www.taylorstreetrods.com/

Some vintage pics of the shop here: http://www.taylorstreetrods.com/aboutus.html

 

Thanks again for all your replies !

I think we have enough garages... So we will see which ones are the closer from our road trip.. When the pictures are finished I will put few of them in here like that you can see the results !

Have a good day and thanks again guys, much appreciated !
