Gene: This is something that has developed over the last several years and taken me around the world, as far away as Japan and Australia. In Canada alone I’ve conducted workshops in Nova Scotia, New Bruinswick, Winnipeg and in the Vancouver area. In your town I’ve done several workshops as well as painted a number of cars, one ’65 Impala for the C.U.T. high school program (Customs for Urban Teens) and a ’52 Chevy and ’34 Ford coupe for John Foxley, all “fade away” paint schemes. 2011 was the first year for the Custom Car Classroom at the BC Classic and Custom Car Show.

OPEN HOUSE
If you were to look back through the history books, you would find a handful of world-renowned craftsman. Among this elite group of men you would find Gene Winfield, pioneer care customizer and innovative automotive artist. Known for his signature “face away” paint jobs, Gene has also built some of the most original customs over a 60year period including the Reactor, Strip Star and the Jade Idol. Starting at a shop in Modesto, CA, he began to make a name for himself with unique designs for clients’ cars. In 1965 Gene moved on to the movie and TV industry which required him to build promotional vehicles for their shows. Today he is still busy at the age of 84 building customs at his home in California’s Mojave desert and conducting hands-on workshops where budding customizers learn firsthand from a master of car customizing.
