Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
Great car and even better story...could read them all day long!
 Boy,the planets really must have aligned for you with everything that's gone right for you on this car. I like the hood graphics and the 200S wheels...cool!

Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
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.

Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
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.

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

Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
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.

Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
V21 and V24 are the two option codes. You could get the call outs on a body colored hood, or with the black outs, or just the black out, or nothing at all.
