Kennedy Brothers

The Kennedy brothers, Joe and Jason, are genuine old school hot rodders.  They work in the premises their dad used previously for his restoration work.  We pulled up outside a huge pair of closed gates and heard dogs barking. Not sure we were at the right place or welcome, we were about to leave when someone called out – “Come in –don’t mind the dogs”.  They were happy for us to walk around.


The brothers build complete cars even painting them on the premises.  They were busy prepping a coupe body for paint when we visited.  They had some lovely cars including a 32 three-window coupe, sedan and many other early Fords.  The workshop also had the accessories you would expect to find in a Californian hot rod shop –Schwinn bikes, surf boards, cola coolers and juke box.  You can imagine them surfing before getting to work on their hot rods – the American dream life style.
