Restoration Student Bridges Art, Automobiles in Dream Career

A mechanic, pinstriper and sign painter, Anthony D. Di Liberto is merging his twin passions of cars and art as a first-year student in Penn College's automotive restoration technology major. The young man with old-school dedication to his craft is featured in a YouTube video filmed before he graduated from New Milford High School in New Jersey. "Going to school and learning different aspects of restoration, meeting people and making connections is something I'm really looking forward to," he says in the video, part of eGarage's "Stories in Motion" series. "There's a lot that goes into it. There's a science, there's a right and a wrong. I'm a firm believer in 'You've got to know the rules to break the rules.' You really have to put in the time ... evaluate yourself and be honest with yourself ... and know that, what you're doing, you're proud of."
