You are referring to Tim Mason, the son of Jim "Hammer" Mason. Hammer worked at DST from 1959 till he passed away in Apr 2005. Hammer was the project manager on the Thunderbolt build, among other things, at DST.
The Dearborn Steel Tubing Co. that Andy Hotton owned in the 50's and 60's was sold a number of times and evolved into what is now known as Diversified Service Technologies or DST Industries that is now located in Romulus, MI, plus a couple of other locations.
When Tim and his dad formed their Ford Hi-Performance parts business, they acquired the rights to the Dearborn Steel Tubing name for their business.
Regards,
Dennis
