I might have only been 8 years old at the time but I remember this scene very well. This was behind the shop on Orange Ave which was located behind my parents house in Buena Park, CA. This covered car port would later become enclosed and become part storage and part my dad’s office. This was during an era when most other hot rodders and my dad’s friends all had shops at their houses. For me having a Bridgeport mill and welders in your garage was normal. How things have changed but oh how they have stayed the same in some way. A passion for cars and a focus on building cool stuff is still the main focus. I miss those days as a kid running around the shop(backyard), riding my bike up and down the driveway making sure to stay clear of the finished cars that were coming and going. Hot Rods by Boyd would later move onto Monroe St in Stanton, CA where some of the greats like Cadzilla, Chezoom, and Aluma Coupe among others were built.

Our Pro Touring Profile Crowbar-Pro Bar
For those running bigger brakes we have taken our Crowbar design and put it into our Pro Touring Profile. The main difference between the two profiles is the Gotcha being the flat profile with .875″ caliper clearance and the Pro Touring being a curved back convex profile with up to 2″ of caliper clearance. The Pro Bar, as we call it, is available in all the same sizes and finishes as the rest of our Pro Touring wheels. If you are trying to decide which series you need to run you can check out our fitment charts here and look at measurement E on the front measuring guide. Anything less than .875″ and you can run Gotcha. Anything more and you have to run the Pro Touring profile. For more information give us a call at 866-612-2693
