Bo Huff spent his teenage years
in Dragerton, Utah during the 1950's. Carbon
County Utah had quite a fair amount of customs and
hot rods during those days. One of the first cars
to receive Bo's magic touch was a 1950 Dodge. The
Dodge mods were simple. It had heated springs and
swapped out bumpers from a '49 Plymouth. He was 18
at the time. "I was always looking at the
older guys in their lowered cars and loved
them," says Bo. During this time he used to
go on rides along with the other guys in their
lowered Carbon County Customs. It was then that he
started to develop his keen eye for body mods. Bo
would then suggest trying out different styles of
modifications to these guys. And most of the time
they would listen and their cars would turn out
quite pleasing to the eye. This was the start of a
life long auto addiction for this young teenage
boy. Following his passion for cars, Bo and Stan
Robles left Carbon County and attended a body and
fender school in Denver, Colorado. (It was in
those days that Stan Robles owned a Barris built
custom.) Upon finishing school in Denver, Bo then
moved back to Utah, but this time settled in Salt
Lake City. He promptly bought a '27 T, and worked
on it off and on for the next 10 years of his
life. Bo recalls his first time in Salt Lake City
State Street was the place to be. Bo recalls it
was like a car show back then. What with all the
under slung primered customs, painted customs and
Hot Rods. "We would all cruise to Don Carlos'
and Fred & Kelly's, those were the hot spots
on State St." After painting and lowering
many a car in Utah, Bo then moved to Orange
County, California during the mid 1960's. It was
in Orange County that Bo would open his own custom
car shop. In his shop the cars would be nosed,
decked, shaved, lowered and then the all important
metal flake paint would be applied. And then you
would have a work of art on wheels. Eventually Bo
would move to Fayetteville, Arkansas and open
another shop. It was there he did may a sub frame,
chop top and flame jobs. These days you will find
Bo back in Utah living where it all started for
him, East Carbon, Utah. He still builds some of
the best customs around. Bo builds at his
customer's request and has even his own Custom
& Hot Rod Museum. Bo Huff's Custom Creations
have been featured in the following magazines: Hot
Rod, Custom Rodder, Rod & Custom, Lowrider,
Hot Rod Mechanix, Ol Skool Rodz, Car Kulture
Deluxe and many more we haven't seen
