RIP Dean Jeffries

I was lucky enough to shake this guy's hand a few years back at a roadster show.

He did nice stuff. He was very gracious, polite and patient with me.

Truly one of the best in his field and a genuinely nice guy. He will be missed.

RIP Dean
always loved the "Armageddon" beast parked, at his shop, on Cahuenga next to the 101 for years. Dean had an original GT-40 that he had a 4 cam Ford indy motor to stuff in it. Wondered where that ended up

He also had a perfect replica 246 Dino coupe fiberglass shell sitting available. Hmm.. get a 914 chassis, stick a 3.6 in it with 915 and scare Italia's with it !
