Back in '1984 LLoyd Long in Warwick, RI. Business has really changed since then....
Now with Cerrone Chevy, GMC, Buick in Attleboro, MA.

Still live in RI.

Awesome! I've been going to that car show (and the one in Boston) every year and actually asked about you the last of couple years in both places... I might actually get to meet the Fbodfather after all this time. I'll be there with my Camaro, but I'm not parking in that garage at the convention center. Those spaces are waaaaaaay too tight. I'll probably park in the Providence place garage and walk in through the mall.

I love Caserta's too! There's lots of great food on Federal Hill...

Ha! I worked for Lloyd back in '72, '73 in the body shop. The zone manager had a 4-4-2 that he drag raced and we stayed late a few nights and put a custom paint job on it. Ah, the good old days.

Waaaaay before my time

Was the body shop manager John Graziano back then? The only other guys I would know from those dates might be Dale in the body shop or Russell in service.

Yes, John was my boss and Dale was the man they had showing me the ropes. I knew Russell in the service area too.

lol, I had Russ showing me the ropes, wonder which one of us drew the short straw

Back to the thread, I just came across this post from Fbodfather. Anyone interested in meeting at the Providence show should sign in here
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58600 it was listed in the California show info, but Scott requested providence attendees also.

PAUL SS · 12-31-2009, 01:36 PM

Thanks for the heads up on the sign up, see you there.

No short straw with Dale, we used to go to CT dragway and I helped him paint a couple of his cars (Tuff Luck II). We had some laughs.

Yeah, he's quite the character. I worked in service for about 10 years while he was in the body shop. last I heard he was with Tasca in Cranston now. Russ is retired, but stops in from time to time.

This mornings Projo had a write-up listing the LS7 & Dusk concepts, I'm sure 1 or 2 production models as well.
