I am aware of your build and have made room for it.
First off a congratulations is in order,
And this talk of a build with Kilofox's car has got my attention, I love seeing your work, really curious as to what kind of ideas you'll use to make that work of art look even better.
Sometime in the (probably distant) future I really want to make a trip way down there and see your setup, and then head on to Daytona for that meet. You guys in the south really have it made.
edit, what an honor to own a page in Whodeanie's Customs thread! ------------------ -Aaron

we have one more day of moving and then back to work on a few cars. the shop will be a mess for a few weeks because we will be setting things up as we can. for now I need to make some money and get a few cars gone.
we will not move the rotten chop till friday to give us time to get the molds made but everything else is now at the new shop. D.
yes it is. that bird is for sale, it does 7.5 in a quarter. it has a twin turbo big block I am not sure what he wants for it. the mustang behind it is the #1 Shadrach prototype car. that is the one they built the 429 Ford hemi motor for. D.
Oh, yea tucked away for a few days next to the Lambo. we have so much to do getting the shop set back up and still working on the cars at the same time. I hurt my back moving so I am a bit slower until it gets better I do not want to go threw that again. Aaron has been working his butt off to help keep things going. D.
we got the second lift running yesterday and did the first car on it. we had to drop the cradle on an 84 to fix a few leaks and install a new header. with the lift it only took us 3 hrs to get it out redone and back in and running under it's own power before this was at least 5 hrs to do. this is going to help out so much.
Today we are finishing up an 84, working on the red Lambo and the Rotten chop. pics to follow. D.
You have a PM to remind you I am bringing my Fiero today
Paul
I'm going to be swinging by the shop tomorrow for a meet & greet, and to check out his incredible work firsthand! I think we ought to make Dean's shop the central location for a massive South Eastern Fiero get together.

LOL! it may happen we are going to have an open house again this year but not sure when yet. we need to get settled in first but I will keep you all posted. those that have stoped by know what is in the works for the shop and I will say this it will be the largest one of it's kind anywhere. things around the shop are still crazy with the move but we have gotten back to work on the cars we finished 2 major car repairs this week in 1/2 the time with the help of the lifts. we have so many Cameros and Vettes in the shop that the lifts are not enough so we have a new one that will be getting here on monday. the new team is great and know their stuff. we will most likely be looking for another person or 2 to work with us soon. D.
Just wanted to say a big *Thank You* for taking the time to host the wife and I today, and talk with us about the shop, your plans and how it all got started. I really appreciate your warm welcome and hospitality, as well as your knowledge and contributions to the forums and Fieros in general. If all goes as I had mentioned, I'm sure we'll be chatting some in the future and I'll be looking your way for some material items and guidance. I should have taken a few pictures while I was down there...can I get you to shoot me a couple of that Bad Ass LSX 'Vette so the wife and show those to her boss?
For those of you who have the opportunity, you ought to swing by and introduce yourself. Dean is a first class guy....

LOL it was a Jeep to start. it was converted to a rock buggy and we installed a 6.0 LS truck motor into it. it is almost done. the owner calls it his trail Jeep for him and his son to go out in. D.

Man, I wish I could make time for a 24 hour round-trip just for an open house, it'd be worth it to see all the awesomeness on display.

we have been working on lots of things here in the shop. a lot of it is Fiero related and some is not. the Fiero related stuff. worked on the red Lambo to get it done it was also the firs car on the new lift. we also finished up 3 other repair jobs that needed to go. now this week we are going to get Tony's car on the lift to fix a few little things so we can start driving the car. next up will be David's car we will be droping the 3800 out to redo it. we also have many others that will be getting work as well. the silver Lambo will be getting some love as well as the Rotten chop, as well as others I will keep you all posted on more on them later.
today I went to the exotic car show and had a blast as always, lots of cool cars.
the Rotten chop is getting molds made of the rear as well as the hips.
here are a few pics. D.
the last guy that tried not to pay! LOL! my guys messing around.
Honestly that is beautiful but it looks like a kit car to me.... The fenders are flared too much and the seats sit too high. The windhield is not right either but I could be mistaken. There were only like 124 of those made and they are very rare... check out these links....
When I lived in Florida we had a neighbor who owned an actual Ferrari Daytona Coupe and let me tell ya that is one of the most beautiful cars ever made by anyone. I loved the inside of it and the engine was amazing. That particular car was about as perfect an example as you could ask for and he actually let me drive it around our area once or twice when he wanted to take it for a spin. MOSTLY we just stared and drooled over it. It still looks beautiful to this day.... peace

Even if it is a kit it's still amazing. Many of these don't get completed, or a build gets started and the owner gives up.

I watched that top gear episode and that was about a perfect ride in the Ferrari I thought. That boat was gorgeous but it looked like it beat the living hell out of them.
Miami Vice was and still is my ALL TIME favorite TV series. It was original then and there has never been anything that has the same style and cutting edge music and action that it had. The movie remake was fun but was sorely lacking in trying to recreate the original. I sure miss that show and those times in general. I remember staying up every time on fridays when a new episode was airing and it was like everyone I knew watched it too. Of course being from South Florida at the time and having driven the same roads as Sonny and Crocket it gave a special meaning to the shots where I could go "hey I have driven my car down that street" . It also captured the mystique of miami and south beach like nothing else has. It is an interesting and somewhat dangerous place. Great show, AMAZING cars, and wonderful music. What was not to like?? peace

I agree that boat beat the crap out of them, I would rather been driving the Ferrari for sure
been working hard to get things done around the shop. I got a set of HD headers back from the coater today as well as finished up the red Lambo repairs. then we were able to get Tonys car on the lift to fix and finish a few things on it to be able to drive it. once we are done with that we will be working on David's motor. we will be pulling it from the car to redo the install. then on to Paul's swap. things around here are going well. I need to start looking for more help soon. good thing. D.
for him and his son to go out in.
