My "Florida Connection!" Danny Giustino - third from right - (aka The Godfather) connected us all together. Don and Zip are second and third from left, respectively. Bob, the talented body man and skate boarder (really) is far left. Ryan Chernekoff, second from right, works with Danny and has become a good friend. I'm on the right.
Feature InterviewFor the first show of 2014 I decided to do something a little different. We still ran a feature interview for the show, but it was a special one I'd been saving up for just the right time. The featured guests were Don Endonino and Zip Simons, the owners of Street Metal Concepts in Orlando, FL, and this brief interview was taken at the close of SEMA 2013, just a few hours before their plane was to depart for home. If you'll recall, Zip, Don, their employee Bob, and countless others took the Chevelle in August of 2013 in rough metal, and 50 days later it rolled out with perfect lines and show car caliber paint. They poured their heart, soul, time, and health into the car, and got to see the fruits of their labor in person when the Chevelle made it into the SEMA booth! During the interview we discussed what it was like for them to see the car done in person, and reflect on what had been achieved. -Robert Kibbe |
