MAN, that Dick Dean shop video brings back memories! It had to have been around 2005 because I remember the Bat Boat, Monkeemobile, Madonna’s Auburn from Dick Tracy, and the Twister T (which Dick let me sit in). George Barris was storing his stuff down there and Jim Johnson (in the video looking at Jeff Neppl’s tail lights) owned the whole building. I think he still does. Jim always had some interesting stuff in the front building, too. I miss going out to Dick Dean’s shop in the middle of summer when it was 100 degrees haha. Keith Dean is definitely carrying on the traditional kustom talent and I love the styling he brings to the table.
