We rode shotgun with the owner of Rolling Bones #22, Kirk Pumphrey, in his 5-window coupe.
Learn more about the mystique of the Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop and how Ken Schmidt & Keith Cornell build their famous hot rods. This is the story of our the 22nd creation by the Rolling Bones team was built. We take it for a ride and walk through all the details of the build.

The Rolling Bones: A legacy has been built from a small old cow barn in Greenfield Center, near Saratoga Springs in Upstate NY. It started with a pair of 3-window Deuces, built by two friends, that garnered acclaim wherever they went. Enter collector and racer Dennis Varni who spied these cars and basically willed the business into being by insisting they build a car for him.
These cars are all business, built the way they would have been back in the 50's. With primitive tools and old school skill, in sharp contrast to today's shiny show queens with CNC machines and all the modern equipment.
Builds generally start from a conversation in the Rolling Bones barn at a gathering in the middle of winter. A bunch of old school hot rodders hanging out trading stories. They almost all end the same way as well, you pick up your hot rod from the barn and then head west, with a growing posse of hot rodders, until you make it to the salt flats of Bonneville. Because these cars are built to run!
