RIP Gene Winfield

[TheDude]

If you're into car customizing, you know this guy. Been a legend my whole life and kept chopping tops and customizing cars up until the end. While I'm not really into those kind of customs, it was good knowing Gene was out there doing his thing and making come epic cars and sharing his knowledge well into his late 90s.

He was a very talented man that's for sure. A lot of knowledge is now gone. But he seemed to pass it along to whoever was willing to listen and learn. That's rare now days.

RIP Gene Winfield, the automotive world has lost one of the greats!

I subscribe to Ian Roussel's (Full Custom Garage TV show) You Tube channel. He is also a custom fabricator and lived near Gene's ranch in the desert and he and his wife were friends with Gene. They have shot interviews with him fairly recently, and I was surprised to see that he was still actively doing this at this age not that long ago.

TBH, I am more of a stock or at least, looks like it could have come stock like that look, but I appreciated his vision and artistic talent also.
