Our friend Dick Dean has passed away...  and he will be greatly missed ....  Dick is truly a legend in our industry... his talent was amazing ... he crafted wonderful cars beginning back in the days when only the most basic of tools were available and his famous “chops” became legendary ... Dick’s influence on so many areas of our hobby was huge.... from those awesome Mercs to the cars he did for the movies and television...

..To us though Dick was more than a genius at building cars.... he was our friend... we last saw Dick with his boys at the Grand National Roadster show and he was just so happy to be there with his kids, amongst all of those great cars .... he was truly in hog heaven and could hardly get the grin off of his face... Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jeanne and the whole family.... we will let you all know of any plans. We have done many stories about Dick over the years... Dick Deans Story  as well as Dicks Mercs  then in 2005 we went to Dicks Retirement party ... Check it out..  Farewell friend... RIP

Hedman Hedders is one of the founding companies of the hot rod and performance aftermarket industry. Established in 1954 by Bob Hedman, Hedman Hedders started out as a humble one man shop, building hedders for his fellow salt flat racers. At first, building hedders was just a way for Bob to support his expensive racing habit, but word quickly spread about how much performance was gained by simply bolting on a set of Hedman's, and the industry's first production hedder manufacturer was born. Now 50 Years later....
