Hey Steve, is that the car Vinny D did some work to at CT restoration. Ed

Yes, many, many years ago Vinny Diguiseppe did the original (first) paint job on it back in 1990 at Connecticut Auto Restorations. It was at his shop from 1987 to 1990. I got my entire law degree during the time was at his shop. I would commute home every weekend from Boston and work on the car at his shop just to keep the project going. It was finally finished in Summer of 1990.

Rich Pasquelone did the recent one as the enamel paint was wearing thin in places after 15 years.

Ed, were you there during the hey-day about 1983 to 1990? That's when my series of 71 Cuda ragtops (the yellow 383, the orange 440 Six barrel and the yellow hemi, as well as the Charger) were painted by the shop.

Steve it was after that,at the time we had a 70 AAR Cuda,70 LS6 Chevelle,66 L79 Nova,69 L78 Camaro,68 Roadrunner and many others in the shop. I don't know what Vinny is doing now,I have not seen him in about a year. Here is a link to his web site. Ed

That guy with the glasses on on page 2 of their website looks like Norm from "This Old House".

Steve,

AWESOME car !

I did the driveline on a friends '70 lime green R/T with the 440 hood callouts (rare option by the way). I'm just curious, what is the designation for not having the scallops blacked out with the engine designation. I see that yours are body color ?

Great car. I've got a '70 SE 500 - A4 silver.

That's Vinny. I have no idea if the shop is still in business at that location. But he still has the link to my old 71 hemicuda ragtop later formerly owned by Kevin Suydam on his site. (see the "one of our finest restorations" link on his site)
