    Super cool Germ... I'm not sure I've ever seen a clear picture of Dick himself before.

    Dick looks pretty young in those pics, he must have been a pretty accomplished guy to have that shop by that age, unless he just looked really young.

    I love to see pictures of these old shops. The guys were legends, but the buildings are rarely very big or complex. Many of the greats achieved a lot in small spaces it seems like.

    Very cool indeed! Berolucci & Westergard were a couple of the most talented artists of their time... and ours.

    Love the 54 Chevy truck. The 55 headlights and grill modification are excellent!
