    That's to bad. I don't think they have used him lately but I think he did John's Royal Emperor and his Imperial Royale.

    You guys have thrown up a few on here I wasn't aware of....I thought I knew them all.

    I gotta go with D'Agastino's '68 Eldo. It's the cleanest, most tasteful of the whole lot. Start with a really good looking car and then make it better.

    Here's a '68 Eldo I chopped and sectioned on Photoshop.

    I REEEALLY hate to stoke the drama fires, but I'm curious also. He had one of my favorite Mercs of all time, kinda wondered where he went..

    Dont know if John is a member or is he lurks here from time to time.
    But I do know that '56 Lincoln was his.
    Bill Reasoner did most of the building on it. Gene Winfield of co**** did the paint job.

    Here is the car before it was chopped, but it already had some body work done including the rear fenders,

    Later the car was sold and went to the East Coast.

    It got sold again.. possebly more times and now its somewhere in a Museum I believe.
    It has been repainted in Orange fades... but I have not seen the finished car. So if anybody has some photos of it finished in the new orange fade... please post them here.

    Stripped...

    removed Winfield fade paintjob...

    He was a tool who thought his randomness was intellect...

    He did have a p***ion for Customs... But man was he annoying.

    I thought he was Jesse James trying to be funny...
