Dean Livermore named Goodguys 2005 Trendsetter
Dean Livermore, founder and proprietor of Phoenix, Arizona-based Hot Rods by Dean, was presented with the Goodguys 2005 Trendsetter Award during the Hod Industry Alliance reception at the SEMA show.
The Goodguys Trendsetter Award is annually presented at SEMA to rising young talents in the realm of rod and custom car building.
A graduate of Universal Technical Institute and a life long car nut, Livermore opened Hot Rods by Dean in 2001 after several years of working at Rod Palmer's Arizona Street Rods and other Southwest rod shops honing his skills. Hot Rods by Dean was founded on a passion for building quality traditional rods and customs. After he finished a recreation of Dick Magoo's famous red '29 Ford roadster on Deuce 'rails for STREET RODDER, Editor Brian Brennan then commissioned Hot Rods by Dean to complete the final assembly of the 2005 STREET RODDER magazine Road Tour '36 Ford coupe. In addition to building a myriad of trendsetting rods, customs, trucks, and street machines, Hot Rods by Dean also manufactures products the everyday hot rodder can appreciate, like bearing and bushing kits, exhaust hanging kits, battery trays, and their most signature item-a 5-inch custom-machined dash bezel.
