Immersed in the hot rod hobby from age seven, Atascadero, Calif.’s Kristine Barbosa is no stranger to the garage. More recently as the wife of a busy builder, Kristine has witnessed the ground-up approach, so she fully understands the commitment required to see a build all the way through. With a willingness to work, Kristine set her sights on her ideal personal hot rod, which absolutely had to be a 1930-’31 Model A highboy coupe.
