SHOP TOUR
There’s some bangin’ around town! The city of Orange, California has been recognized as a Hot Rod Hot Spot for decades, and now there’s a new kid on the block. As you walk around the bustling “circle” or as the locals call it, “The Plaza”, your senses are overwhelmed with vintage stores, and amazing century old architecture. The vintage vibe is kept alive by Orange’s newest Hot Rod shop, Old Anvil Speed Shop.
Paul and Jenna Bosserman met at a car show in Virginia seven years ago, and quickly moved to Southern California to follow their dreams. In just a few short years, they have gone from wishful thinking to arcing welders.
The real magic of the shop is the people, Paul mocks up all the projects on Auto CAD, Jenna ensures the shop runs smooth; and the crew Dom, Chris and Jarred are the most diligent and talented fabricators around. Old Anvil Speed Shop offers services ranging from performance enhancing engine work and suspension, metal shaping and louvers to complete builds. The massive shop is separated into sections for each task. A few of the current customer projects include a chopped ‘50 Chevy, ‘72 Charger, ‘67 Mustang, Pro-Mod Dragster, ‘49 Merc and several others. No shop is complete without a personal project (or two!), Jenna’s ‘59 Willys Overland Wagon and Paul’s Dads ‘33 Chevy Sedan Delivery.
We think they make nice neighbors; Welcome to Orange!
