The Shifters car club kicked-off a Southern California hot rod revolution in 1992 that changed the world forever. Coker whitewalls, primer paint, early V8 engines, rockabilly music, tattoos and cars all coming out of backyard garages. What started as a grassroots movement found its way onto TV shows, runways and magazine covers all over the world. Today, 30 years later, rat rod is a household word and the Shifters So-Cal are still building traditional hot rods and custom cars that are universally loved.

The Shifters were now a real car club and wherever they went, they caused a scene. Three years in, the revolution of hair grease, cuffed jeans, and loud hot rods was now a ground assault on big-buck billet builds. What had started as a handful of young guys in sketchy Gow jobs terrorizing the sleepy car shows up and down the West Coast had now got the attention of their friends, the Bettie Pagers, the automotive media, and the street rod elite. Plus, in this second video in the series, meet Frank; The Shifters’ best listener.
