Worked for Artie for 12 years. He taught me a bunch about Sheet Metal Fabrication that I still use today at my job. To say he was dedicated to his job would be an understatement. Heck of a welder and fabricator. Helped alot of racers. He will be missed. R.I.P. Artie |

Condolences to Art's family and friends. Met Art and he could'nt have been nicer and more helpful in curing an overheating situation with my race car. It's amazing how many race cars, especially in the Northeast, run his products. A true innovator. Rest in peace. |

Thanks to all and to Rick for this Tribute story of his life and dedication to our sport.. He was a real close friend of mine.. I worked for him in the early days from 1984 to 1991.. He was always trying to make our cars faster and run cooler with more HP.. His father wanted me to work for them and add welding to there already sucessful radiator bussiness...I helped him with my tig welding skills ( he was a good mig welder already) and I learned cooling systems...From that point on Artie was unstoppable.. He was a workaholic and always coming up with ways to improve anything...We will all miss his humor and great fabrication skills...Rest In Peace my friend Artie...I will miss you...Howie. |

My condolences to the family and to the many friends of Art Lentini. It had been a while, but there was a time when I would always try to stop by Art's when heading up Rt 31 on my way to wherever, and Art would always have a few minutes to talk about racing. He was a supporter of our site, and also provided the display cases for when we had "The Vault" at New Egypt Speedway. I hope the name/logo of "Art's Radiator" will live on forever, to remind us not only of the great racing products that Art designed and built, but for us to always remember "Artie." |

Artie could make anything not enough time in a day. My buddy Bob Patrick competed in rookies with Artie,all fun good times. I'm sure Howie being across 31 had a lot to do with Article's weight saving projects. RIP. Joe D. |

We were friends since 6th grade. Probably had a little to do with him catching the racing bug, having the shop down the street from the track sure didn't hurt either. One night at Flemington it rained and they were calling everyone out to track pack, so I asked him if he wanted to take my car out. My dad pulled up alongside him, figured out who it was and saw he had his shield open. Pulled up in front of him and gave him a mud shower! He came in with mud all over his glasses, lol. The following year he was Rookie champ. |

After retiring from the gas station business I stopped by Arts. I don't know why but I wound up working a few hours a week. It wasn't long before I was full time welding and fabricating, even going to motor sports and Syracuse shows. Enjoyed every day working with Art and Glenn. You had to see Art weld to appreciate his talent . After 3 years of fun at the shop we moved to NC. Will miss the time I spent with Arty . Rest in peace buddy. |

Got to meet Artie and his dad through my dealings with Raritan Twp. Fire Co. Both stand up, great people. And we still run their products on the sprint cars. RIP Artie, you will be missed. You and Dad reunited. |

I dated Artie's sister, Linda, for a while when I was in high school. Always remember Artie being a mischevious, funny kid. I always called him "Fuzz" because of his crew cut. Linda and I would take him along to the races after we got finished working at Major's on Saturday nights. I was really sorry to hear he had passed. They were a real nice family. |
