SEMA 2008: Thunder Flite
Dean Arnold designed the Thunder Flite as a retro-futuristic concept vehicle, envisioning what Ford might’ve dreamed up if they’d designed a space-age T-Bird back in the late 50s. I think the retro-spacecraft aesthetic is spot-on—I was actually really suprised to find out that this ’62 wasn’t actually a vintage concept car! More views below the jump.

I justed waned to let everyone know how much of a piece of shit Dean “Dino” Arnold is. He did a car for me and damaged it beyond repair. I had to scrap it and he would not give me a refund. Not to mention that he had it for 8 years. He is a con artist and lost the ability to build cars. He was fine till he started using drugs. Anyone wanting him to build them a car beware!! Stay far, far away!!

Yes I agree with the last post. I’m one of their customers. Twisted Kustoms in Fife, WA built the car and the owner Travis Tainter painted it. Dean “Dino” Arnold just designed it. Check them out at http://www.twistedkustoms.net They do the best work!

This may be dean arnolds work but the Twisted Kustoms shop had a big hand in it but there is no mention on thunderflite.com. Shows what kind of a person Dean Arnold AKA Dino is.
