Carparelli Gets Five Stars

Pic's ?

What Richie said... Posting a pic or two would be a nice additional recommendation for Mr. Carparelli. 

How about letting us know what he did for your shell? 

It still has the original insulators on it. 100 years from now you won't be able to tell the difference from an original one. Have you ever seen a 2341 Jersey central that Len did?

Dan, 

for us ignorant folk, what did he do and what is his skill set?   (channeling strap hanger!)

PS- wonderful looking GG-1, I am "green" with envy

Looks great! New stripes and keystones?

Don,  what does he use for the striping?  I have one if these that we repainted 25 years ago and I picked up some Janice Bennett's dry transfers from back then which were recommended. Wonder if they would still be good?

I like these because of the nickel rims which really stand out.

That's a real beauty you have there sir!

I would like to sing praises to Len Carparelli.  My 2332 GG1 shell came back to me in the mail today.  I couldn't be more pleased.  Give him five stars.  

Gorgeous Dan, and just before Christmas....???....gonna be a good day tater!!...........Pat

Thanks Guys, Len obviously has the talents I aspire to in my next life.  Inspiring web site.  I wonder if he takes on apprentices...

Just came across this post, although it s back from December. ....... I would like to THANK YOU so, so much to all, for the very kind words about my work!  I take great pride in restoring these wonderful toys of our youth for us to enjoy for many more years to come!

Dan Padova, it was a pleasure to work with you sir!

To all, Please stop by my booth at YORK April 11-13 if you like and say hello!  I'm in the Orange Hall Booth AA-8 thru AA-10!

All the best!  Looking forward to York!!!
