Celebrity Rides

Actor Kevin Dillon is on the search for a new ride, one that will give him a nostalgic feel of old Hollywood. He'll choose between two cars famously linked to legendary actor James Dean. Will he choose a Speedster or Dean's very last ride, a Spyder?

The Spyder is Kevin Dillon's choice, and Fibersteel will create a replica with a vintage appearance, but using more modern materials. Fiberglass body panels and a historically-accurate chassis will be the car's foundation.

The work continues at Fibersteel, where each aluminum piece must be handcrafted before being installed in the car. Brakes, headlights and gauges are put into place, along with detailed pieces that add to the nostalgic feel of the car.

Final installations are underway, with the engine, safety gear and steering wheel locked into place. Red stripes and vintage emblems finalize the car's authentic feel, and a special touch from Dean Jeffries makes this a true James Dean replica Spyder.
