SO-CAL Speed Shop: Bill Lindig | Indy Speedster
Bill Lindig's '32 RPU
Longtime SO-CAL friend Bill "Nitro Billy" Lindig commissioned the SO-CAL car shop to put the finishing touches on his extremely rare and all original '32 Ford Roadster Pickup. The Houston based Bruce's Rod Shop "roller" with sheet metal work by Bobby Walden was handed over to Ryan Reed and the SO-CAL crew. The final touches include not only a Mick Jenkins paint job but a Gabe's interior as well.
SO-CAL Speed Shop: Bob Garibay | 1932 Ford Roadster
Bob Garibay's '32 Roadster

Shown here is Bob Garibay's 1932 Ford roadster. It features a blown injected all aluminum small block, Limefire style headers and the "Big and Little" tire combo says nothing but 60's badass hot rod. The car is in the final build stages and is ready for a little TLC in the SO-CAL paint shop.
SO-CAL Speed Shop: Billy F. Gibbons | 1958 Thunderbird
BFG's 1958 Thunderbird

ZZ Top front man Billy F. Gibbons' latest SO-CAL project is a '58 T-Bird known simply as "Mexican Black Bird." This low and mean beauty is ready to hit the streets after a quick trip to Gabe's for a black and gold custom interior. Paint by Mick Jenkins combined with Watson style panel layout by long time friend Dennis Ricklefs really hit the mark.

Indy Speedster
Anyone who’s been around hot rodding for the past 15 years has most likely seen or heard about Jackie Howerton’s aluminum bodied track roadster. Better known as the “Indy Speedster” it is considered by most to be one of, if not THE, finest hot rods ever built. Long time friend and SO-CAL customer Bill Lindig, purchased the project and commissioned our car shop to finish the car for its debut at the 2010 Grand National Roadster Show.
SO-CAL Speed Shop: Emerson Glazer's 1933 Tudor
Emerson Glazer's '33 Sedan

As you can see from the photos, the 2 1/2" chop on Emerson Glazer's sedan was executed perfectly by our pals the Kennedy Bros. The car is now painted black and is currently in the assembly stage.
SO-CAL Speed Shop: John Devine's 1956 Truck
John Devine's 1955 F100

When we first met John Devine he was looking to build a mild pick up truck but instead his '66 Chevelle "Supercar" was put on the front burner. Once the Chevelle was finished he brought his '55 Ford F100 back out for the SO-CAL crew to do their magic. This local hauler is powered by a big block Ford and painted by SO-CAL's own Mick Jenkins in a subtle "Sea Foam" green offset with a black top. Keep an eye out for an upcoming feature in Classic Trucks Magazine.
