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.
