58 CHEVY IMPALA

In May I took my 74 Ford F-250, that I have had for 40 years, to Hot Rods by Dean to get the the left front fender replaced the was damaged by a tire blow out while I was returning from Phoenix delivering the Edsel 292 to be rebuilt. Dean did a great job on the fender, matching the 40 year old paint and repairing some damaged paint and trim behind the left rear wheel opening also caused by an earlier blow out.
 The tread came off and hit the fender, broke the support bracket, bent the running board and did other damage.
 This is what is left of the tire. The truck now has 4 new tires on it.
 We scheduled our trip to Phoenix to pick up the truck the weekend of May 17 as Dean had invited us to attend his invitation only open house to unveil the 1958 Chevy Impala that he was commissioned to build by Street Rodder Magazine.
 We picked up the truck Saturday morning at Dean's shop then went to West World RV park in Scottsdale with the 74 and our camper. We used the 74 to run around and to go to Dean's that evening.
The "reveal" was hosted by Brian Brennan the Editorial Director/Editor of Street Rodder Magazine with some of his staff on hand. The Impala is the 2014 Amsoil/Street Rodder Road Tour car that will be driven on the tour June through October. You can see the schedule and locations in the magazine. 
 There will be a article in Street Rodder that list's all the info and specs on the car. The attention to detail is unbelievable.  
 Upholstery is by Glen Kramer "Hot Rod Interiors" of Phoenix

 Picture is a little dark but you can see the large fins that made that year Chevy stand out.
 The car has a custom made chassis, engine and every thing else except the body. 
 This is the Street Rodder shop truck also built by Hot Rods By Dean.
