    Go to: www.pittsburgca.net

    There is video of the newest DeRosa creation. It's rough but on it's way...
    It just went in for uphostery and they are working hard to get it done for Paso Robles!

    Air date to Monster Garage is later this month. (4/17 or 4/24 was the last guesstimate from Discovery Channel producer.)

    Cool. I like it.
    Not what you'd expect to see on a city/community website
    See you in Paso

    I have driven a derosa car. The shark. It might not be your cup for tea to go in, but it sure did turn heads....

    Very cool. The DeRosa's are rulers in crafting bodies.

    Thanks for the post. Its cool to see a city support its local long running businesses. Looking forward to the monster show - Tivo any showings from here out so I don't miss it.

    I saw that '57 when it was in progress...it looks great finished. The lines are very nice. I liked the back version but the yellow/gold is a nice fit for a caddy.

    That Gold Cadillac was in the side room where all the "RatRods" were and that was our favorite room at the San Francisco Show in January! It was hell getting my dad in there with those ramps, the rain and his little scooter but he RAVED about all the cars & customizers that had cars in that side room! He went to every car in there and made sure that he pointed out some beauty, a story about that make/model and also a fine line that you may not see that makes the car come "alive" to my son who helps him at the shop. Seems like you go to shows now and certain builders have a new car for every years show circuit to suit their yearning for money & fame vs. their need to put something out there that they built with their own vision, innovation and/or originality.
    I believe that my brothers newest car will be one of his nicest. He isn't rushing it and he's doing it his own way no matter how long it takes.
    Remember that accessories come after you are all ready~that goes for cars too!

    I love Frank DeRosa, one of my absolute faves, outside the box thinking legend, that's who he is.
