Are your outer short for 67 had short ones? Dave

Copo_Cartel 02-23-2019 02:36 PM

Hello Dave I am not sure Frank has them but I would have to assume they are the short ones especially having the original orange inspection paint . That would be a question for Frank I will ask him

Doug asked for help in posting this video. Might have to turn up the speakers to hear Mr. Weaver's reaction to seeing the 3rd coat of clear.

I just left the company ...The Right Stuff ... it is here in town I am good friends with the original owner Dave Roberts and his son-in-law Brian Aldridge ... I have always used there lines on my cars in the past when we were doing restoration and again they have come through with all of new original material brake lines and fuel lines. Two of us are going over to Franks this weekend to work on the car.

Copo_Cartel 03-01-2019 11:30 PM

We will be meeting up tomorrow with John Weaver again at Frank’s shop it’s always nice to see him and share the new progress ... he enjoys it just as much as we do ... I will post some progress photos this weekend. Thanks to everyone..for their support, guidance and friendships. Our motto is ...it’s always nice to do more with less. Thanks fellas ..I will report back .

That is a nice looking trunk.
I first thought it was an example of an original one you were aiming for.

Original Seam Sealer . The trunk area was near perfect before Frank and Mark started.

luv2sixty9 03-03-2019 08:59 PM

Saw the car in person yesterday and I was flabbergasted. The restoration so far is amazing, but the actual condition of the car is impeccable.

Robbin says since you're a male the car is female, so its Wonder Woman....LOL

Copo_Cartel 03-03-2019 09:14 PM

Lol. I remember her saying that. The guys were laughing about that last night while playing poker at Franks cabin.

Copo_Cartel 03-03-2019 09:20 PM

The original Yenko 427 engine is almost done...my drivetrain guru Dave McGaffee says it will be on the engine stand this week to break in the motor. Dave and I spend time at the track together...doing 1/4 mile passes in the RG Copo

Headers
 
1 Attachment(s)
The original headers are being massaged by our local fabricator. They are in nice condition to begin with. On the Yenko paperwork John was charged $172.00 for headers and deep tone mufflers.

cook_dw 03-03-2019 11:50 PM

Great progress! Car is looking amazing. Arone is the top tier restoration shop. He has impressed me now numerous times and it just keeps getting better. I wouldn’t be able to stop smiling. :D

Looks beautiful. Are you redoing those headers in white? If so please let us know who you plan to use to coat them.

Copo_Cartel 03-04-2019 12:31 AM

Yes we are redoing them in white....we have a local powder coat company about 10 minutes from my shop...he is very good ...we have used him before with good success. I will report back once he is done...with pricing and completed photos
