Mr. Winfield's work is often imitated but never duplicated. What a master craftsman!

[@boomerbassmeme]

Great interview with the legend! Well done Jamie! 😊👍

[@Hopwhisperer]

You guys should get some merch in Gene’s shop so we can support him more.

[@Mjpjr1]

His IG has a post from a month ago saying Gene is in hospital and orders haven't been shipped and there have been no updates since

[@pugliesesspeedshop]

I took Gene's class in April of 2023!! Came all the way from Maryland and had the time of my life!! Best birthday gift EVER!!! Thank you so much Gene!!!!

I helped an old guy here in fla with his projects,40 ford and 50 merc. He showed me pics of him and winfield. He had genes signature everywhere around his house. He said he was a mus man. He worked as a pipe fitter on power plants. Miss him

[@TheWrenchist]

Mud man. Sorry

[@TimHWolfe]

Thank you Jamie for visiting Gene. Anytime we get to see him on screen. Never have gotten to meet him. I’m 71 and his work has always been out there at the top of the list. 👍

[@FrankDeMaria-te2ee]

Very cool thanks Jamie. Gene still looks good. I'm 71 years old and still working metal. I hope I will still be doing it as long as Gene. My God continue to bless you Gene.

[@johnmcclure6540]

Thanks Jamie, Gene is just one of the real car customizers of the genre experiences and you did an awesome job of your first interview. You do realize that your fans are going to want more? But, you can do it simply because you are you and your personality is awesome.

[@crankyoldman860]

Hats off and a big thank you, Jamie. It is so important to document these giants of design while they're still here. It's vital we ask them every question we can think of, while we can. I now also know one of the big reasons Ian made his home in the Mojave.

[@jessebbutanda586]

[@shloopter30]

@fullcustomIan when I asked miss Jamie to take a photo with the two of you, she told me "yes when he returns from the men's room." I said, "Oh, he's actually human?" Thank you two for being so gracious and being such a good friend to Gene.

[@stevebowling3142]

In the world of custom cars Gene is the real deal where others have taken credit for building well known custom cars Gene actually did the work on his. " true legend"

[@johnhanslo4005]

Loving this interview with Master Gene

[@leonardzeh8449]

One of the most influential car builders of all time love the man and his vision

[@georgehancox3174]

Still one of my biggest heroes came home from the war in 71 and got to see some of his work at an auto show. I guess that’s why I got into doing bodywork and mechanics. Thanks Gene

[@williamdenny891]

Thank you Jamie for sharing your story on Gene, it's awesome ❤😊

[@bobhuber462]

[@jefftroublefield1539]

I’m so glad you visited with Gene and it’s great to see him doing good. He is definitely the ultimate metal worker for hot rods!

[@johnhart125]

A look inside the shop again of one of my idols, Gene and George Barris and quite few more ignited my passion, first with model cars then stzrted at about 10 yrs old working metal with my grandpa, I met Gene a few times, very nice guy , not afraid to share his knowledge or to be the one asking questions. A true American treasure

[@davidklauer3422]

[@davidhyson9910]

That was special. Thanks!

[@keithvandermolen5748]

Thank you that video was awesome. If it wasn’t Gene winfield, I don’t think the car custom world would exist. He is one of a kind for sure.

[@2-rusty-boyz]

I Love Gene Winfield 😍 Best Customer Word Wide . He is so creative and has so many Plans and knows the easiest way to make it with all Materials and it always looks cool. He reminds me of my Grandpa, who never built anything great and didn't throw anything away because at some point it was considered a crazy Idea. Best regards from Germany OCWX

[@florianpinto9999]

What a lot of souvenir!!!!! I read CUSTOM magazin when i was wong and dream in front of is car!!!!!!

[@biglakehotrods381]

Always cool to see this legend still going strong.

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

Wow, hey Gene if you're listening, I could listen to and watch you every day. You're so talented. Listen to your Stories of the past and even the current stuff you're Workin' on. It's just the best. I fabricate my own stuff in a small way. But I don't build cars, and knowing that you've built some of the iconic cars in the United States, just makes me smile ear to ear.
