I can't answer your question but I go to a lot of car shows and I have seen some of your work.Very nice stuff. Posted by Doug Fielder (Member # 803) on :
Call Glen Weisgerber, he was doing them in the 70s I'm sure, and he knows everyone in the field.

Sam, One of the northeast's best custom painters was Dino Lawrence formerly of Purple Sun Studios in Ct. Now he's at Carolina Signworks. Contact him at: http://www.micropublishing.com/carolinasignworks/
He was heavy into drag cars, custom cars & vans in the 60's and 70's.
Tell him Louie sent ya.
