    Why not give the guy a call and wish him a happy birthday? He is 76 this year.

    He's the guy who striped the Paul Silva Bonneville/Drag Roadster in Don Ferguson's collection before they washed it off and had VonDutch redo it.
    A great craftsman and Rod & Custom icon. A**** others, he built the brand new custom Toronado for a Houston oilman.
    Happy Birthday!

    When I was in junior high Dean had a shop off of Hollywood Blvd. A good friend of mine had built a model sailboat in wood shop and we took it to Dean. My friend asked if he could paint the hull candyapple red and he did it. What a great guy and always has helped people throughout his career. Best wishes to Dean. The FOGGER

    I met Dean a few weeks back and he invited me to stop by his shop.
    I dropped in for a chat, and had a close look at his Mantaray, GT40 Spyder and '33 Ford street rod.

    Deane is a great guy and would likely appreciate a Birthday call...

    I used to drive by almost everyday and check out what was going on at the Cahuenga shop on the way to work on Lankershim Blvd.

    A true craftsman.

    Happy Birthday!

    Hell yeah, Dean's a cool guy! I gave him a call before the GNRS and we stopped to visit him. That is certainly a day I will never forget!

    Happy Birthday Dean!


    He is actually a registered HAMB member now, thanks to Denise. :D
    (although, I kind of doubt he's logged on since they set the account up)

    I just got off the phone with him and he sounded great. Was having the shop painted and a little lunch with some friends over.
    He was sharp as ever and said the book only contains a fraction of the cars he has built.
    He is even thinking about another book. Always going a 100 miles an hour!
