STACKING TROPHIES AT SOUTH CITY VIDEO by Povi Pullinen

We stop by South City Rod and Custom in Hayward, CA to see what was happening around the shop. While it’s been a quiet time on the hot rod front – post GNRS madness – there’s still a few cool builds happening behind the SCR&C doors. We chat to Bill Ganahl about current projects, Bepi’s tough three-window, and take a serious look at what it takes to decorate an office with shiny stuff.
