A Desert..hot rod..Mr gene winfield...and Boneville...this is a really fucking amazing dream......is a great day for hot rod culture...Good Job Mackey's
Thank you! One I'll never forget 👊
I remember reading Hot Rod magazines while in school with Gene's cars featured. I am 72 now and he is still going strong and looking good. He has inspired many
I’m glad to see 80 years of inhaling paint,lead fumes and bondo dust hasn’t harmed Gene Winfield.He’s the man.
Mr. Winfield is the Man.
Gene is truly one of finest gentleman ever! Very cool video that's spot on. It's not fiction. Like the Beach Boys song lyrics, "Gene gets around." He's loved by the ladies and he loves them. No body has built so many amazing cars. He is an international treasure. Thank you for showing such wonderful TH-cam video that's only 3 minutes long. This is a great flip side to the God awful wars and many problems we face. Viva Gene Winfield and Mackey's Hot Rod Shop. Please post another soon.

Gene is now threatening to not keep it under 100! 20-odd years ago I took Gene on a little drive out to Montello one night after we were done racing for the day & picked up a desert fresh T coupe I'd known about for some time. When we got back to Wendover late that night we stuck it in the back of Al Teague's truck to surprise him in the morning. That became the recreation of Gene's "Thing" comp coupe.
Bro how do I get your emojis 😁😁😁
Gene Winfield you da' man. I was fortunate enough to meet and hang out with you, George Barris, Bill Hines and other hot rod legends back in 08 at your Mojave compound there. Total Respect.. you've earned it!
A true american living legend and a craftsman
I went to one of his classes last April. I will always remember that weekend, this dude is the rear deal.
Legendary car builder he the man
Got to love the music that goes on with this video😊
Outstanding! More folks should be like Gene.
RESPECT FOR GENE !!!👍
I had the honor of meeting him in Pittsburgh at the 2018 world of wheels show. I didn’t even know that he was going to be there. Freakin Daisy Duke and Luke Duke were there and were all the rage. Gene was way over on the other side standing beside a summit roof chop booth. He was super nice!! Let me take pics with him, signed autographs and even gave me a poster. He’s such a nice guy in real life, god bless you Gene!!
Same thing for me except it was the one in Minneapolis! Though i knew he was gonna be there and thats why i went!
Very cool!👍
Gene is the Lone Ranger of Automobile s he does it right with a torch and a welder and Spray gun🏆
We met gene when he came over to England. He was doing a roof chop and his energy was superb never stopped. And at night would walk around the show and go to the wall of death. I got a superb photo of gene with my grandson Liam. And jene actually told Liam he was cool! A life time memory Liam or I will ever forget. Sadly he went and broke his hip after . But thankfully made a full recovery. Love you jene you are a true legend!
Legends 🇺🇸
He is an absolute living legend and an inspiration to gearheads all over the world!

Met Gene at the Moncton Nationals show a few times he is such an icon and inspiration to the hot rod world
Props to pops. He's still got the spirit and the right ideas.
I had a conversation with him at Salina in the last 10 years. I commented how he was more famous than when he was young. He smiled and said it was wonderful. A few years ago I saw him after he broke his hip and age was catching up with him. Truly a remarkable life story. :)
Kudos to him! Best to you, sir!

Pretty much speechless, a true legend...
Been to his place many times over the years. I lived just 25 miles from him and bought three cars from him. I did Lincolns and T-Birds, the last car I bought was a 1969 Lincoln Sedan. Great Guy and Loved to talk! Enjoy the rest of your life Legend!
Way to kool ......absolutely excellent
Gene is so awesome! I have known him since I was 15.
Fabulous !!!!
I thought it was a real documentary until Gene said this damn 6cyl broke down. Cool video.
Gene & Mackey 😳How Kool ❤️😬
I'll be 64 this year I saw Gene one time at a car show in Southern California Orange county late 60s. I asked him for a autograph. And he was gracious enough to sign my .049 powerd shoe string model Race plane. Gene told me to open the air intake hole to 1/8 and tune it. It flew faster than a Bat escaping a Ozzy Osbourne concert.
Super Nice guy. Your a inspiration to us all Gene.
I still have the plane.
What a true legend❤
A living legend !!!!
Enjoyed very much...Good Health to you Gene...
