CAST MEMBERS
Papa Stone
Papa runs this joint…but he leaves the creativity to the young folk. He’s a churchgoer who loves his family and his business – but sowed plenty of wild oats in his younger days. He started as a mechanic, worked hard and saved enough to buy the shop…when the car customization boom hit, Papa got enough to keep him comfortable through retirement. His proudest accomplishment, though, is his daughter…
Missy
Missy manages Family Customs. A college graduate who worked in corporate America, but after her divorce, came back with her son to the family business. Missy likes to think of herself as “one of the guys” – when convenient. At other times she’s the boss lady for sure, and can get pretty attitudinal about it. Missy is the only female on the premises, and pretends she doesn’t know that all the fellas have a little crush on her. The one she really loves is…
Devin
Missy’s 9-year-old son, who hangs around the shop after school. Devin’s an active, curious kid who sometimes oversteps his bounds, since he’s always around the shop mechanics and likes to think of himself as one of them. He’s a city kid, and likes to pretend he’s streetwise, but really he’s just a fun-seeking American boy. He’s basically a good kid, but there are times he tests his boundaries, and comes with some startlingly precocious behavior, so you don’t know whether to laugh at him or swipe at him.
Clyde
Clyde has just been promoted to shop foreman. He’s a bit older and more sophisticated than the other guys. He really digs the craftsmanship involved with customizing autos, and is a hardcore perfectionist. He knows what’s hip, but tends to walk his own road, preferring underground art and culture…but he’s still one of the guys. Clyde looks like a big, threatening dude, but he’s really a gentle giant – though it isn’t beyond him to use his size and presence to get his way.
Flaco
The new guy…practically an apprentice. He’s 19 and enjoys every moment of his life, sometimes completely erasing the boundaries between work and play. He’s all about energy, and tries new things with zeal. He’s up on the latest music, slang, fashion and stars. It’s not all about fun, though. He loves his job and wants to excel at it because he has a real passion for cars and everything about them. On the job and off, he likes hanging with…
Sleepy
A genuine ‘round the way kid…born and raised in the same neighborhood he now works in. Sleepy likes clubbing, hanging out, listening to music, and sports…but he prefers watching them to getting up and playing. His real name is Mark, but he picked up his nickname not because he was always dropping off, but because he’s a sleeper…mellow and innocuous on the outside, but what sleeps just beneath is a razor sharp mind. Sleepy does everything at his own relaxed pace, but he’s consistent, reliable, and can always be counted on to come through.
