GENE WINFIELD HAS BEEN ONE OF the most prolific Rod & Custom Builders in the Industry for almost 70 years !
BUT, what many aren’t aware of, is the fact that for many years Gene also created some of the most amazing “fantasy” cars & vehicles for TV Shows, Movies, Commercials, and, Special Projects !
Our early-Sunday Morning Interview at the 34th Annual KKOA Leadsled in Salina, Kansas, focused on this GREAT new book of Gene’s entitled “Gene Winfield’s TV & Movie Cars, Commercials and Special Projects”.
I wanted to know how it all started, so you’ll hear Gene tell the stories of his “Blade Runner” cars, the “Cut-In-Half ’67 Chevrolet, “Bewitched” TV’s “The Super Car”…and find out how you can get your copy of this SUPERB new book !

“No matter when you read this, my pal, Travis, and myself are getting ready to head for the 34th Annual KKOA Leadsled in Salina, Kansas for 2014…AND, so is CANDY CLARK !
![AmericanGraffitiOST[1]](https://i0.wp.com/royboyproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/AmericanGraffitiOST1.jpg)
CANDY CLARK IS A SUPERB ACTRESS who played the role of “Debbie Dunham” in “AMERICAN GRAFFITI” so perfectly that she was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress for her performance !
I got to spend some quality-time with Candy at Darryl Starbird’s 50th Annual Tulsa Rod & Custom Show in February, 2014, and during that time we put together a great Interview concerning her career, her growing up in Fort Worth,Texas, and, of course, American Graffiti !
This is the first story that came out of our long session, and it’s Candy’s personal story about that truly iconic film that has become a “Time Capsule” of the 60’s here in the U.S.A. : AMERICAN GRAFFITI !
In this story you’ll not only hear behind-the-scenes stories, but, also inside info that you probably never knew before, as only Candy Clark can tell it ! Ready to listen ? Okay, just Click-On-Right-Here , and you’re on your way to ’62 !!
PS: See Candy, Bo Hopkins, and, Cindy Williams, at the 34th Annual KKOA Leadsled in Salina this year !
Travis & I’ll see you there too !!
Ride on; Stay safe…

“Hi everybody ! Hope everyone reading this is “storm free” and able to be Crusin’ once again !
The work that my friend Travis does on this Site is awesome…hope you come back often to check-it out
Here’s an important story that I want to share with you right now…
LONG-TIME HALL OF FAME MEMBER, Frank Livingston, wow’d the crowd’s over a decade ago when he unveiled his Pagan Gold, Oz Welch-built ’49 Chevy Fastback !
It was very similar to his 1955-built ’49 Fastback…but it was not quite a “clone” for a number of reasons that he explains, and you may have seen the car in-person at the GNRS, or, at Santa Maria.
Frank’s an old friend, and the story about how the idea for this build was put together is just super-cool….and what he say’s about the paint work alone is something you won’t want to miss ! Simply Click-On-Right-Here to Listen !!
Thanks again, for visiting here with Travis…and come back often !

This is definitely one of the MOST IMPORTANT pieces of R & C Audio History you’ll ever hear…simply CLICK-ON-HERE , turn up your speakers, and enjoy Spence’s story of “The Origin Of Rod & Custom Magazine” !

Thank you to the first 2 sponsors of my site, quite frankly the only 2 that I’ve asked to sponsor the site so far. If you’d like to help sponsor Royboy Productions and provide the koolest car show coverage to folks worldwide, click here to ask me about it.
A couple of years ago I came up with the idea to do car features in video form. For some of you that have been following for awhile, you’ve seen these before. For the new folks take a few minutes and hopefully enjoy!
The concept is simple, get the car owner on camera telling the story of the ride. Unfortunately it is a time consuming process and time is what I don’t have much of. So…. there are 2 to date. I am planning on releasing a 3rd one next week (a year after I meant to release it). And hopefully more will follow. Feature videos are the perfect way to capture your memories of your favorite ride to remember for the rest of your life and pass on to future generations.
Video 1 If you can’t see the video click here.
Video 2 if you can’t see the video click here.
If you’d like to inquire about having a Feature Video created for your ride, use the contact form here to get a hold of me.
See you at a show.

“Hi to all ! Hope you’re in the mood for the Holiday Season, and thanks for joining us here at my friend Travis’ Site !
What you’ll hear right now is one of the most informative pieces on Sectioning that you’ll ever find !
THE LEGENDARY GENE WINFIELD , has chopped many tops through the years, but the first car he ever sectioned was a ’56 Merc !
That iconic custom was christened the “Jade Idol”, and I wanted Gene to give me the lowdown on sectioning that car…and the full-story of what has to be done during that
process.
This is a cool Interview, and you won’t want to miss Gene’s stories…not only about the Jade Idol, but about his own chopped & sectioned ’58 Impala ! To listen, Just-Click-On-Here !
Thanks again for joining us here…and be sure to check-out some of the GREAT Merch available: for you…or one of your friends !

“Hi to all ! One of the Hall Of Fame’s longest-running members, NORM GRABOWSKI, passed away just a year ago…October 12, 2012, so, in honor of Norm, I pulled out one of his earliest stories from my Archives.
Norm was known as the “Father of the T-Bucket” and he was a friend to all he met, I always called him the “Don Rickles” of the R&C Industry because he had a GREAT sense of humour !
TRULY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST GUYS in the Rod & Custom Industry was the one-and-only NORM GRABOWSKI !
This time, Norm talks about how he got into cars to begin with, and gave me the scoop on the early beginnings of, what would become, the Legendary “Kookie Car”!
(Good Question: Where did the ’52 Cadillac engine in Norm’s T-Bucket come from ? Listen closely and you’ll find out !)
