did they always paint the ss gas cap black at yenko?

When I restored Dana Hurt's YS8011 I did a lot of research on this. Don did not like to promote the SS so he often times removed the SS emblems on the fenders and painted the gas cap black. There is more to that story that I am not recalling right now but that is what I found. Dana's cap was painted and his SS emblems had been removed during Yenko's conversion and all was verified during the restoration.

Best looking hoods ever!!

I have one of those hoods in my garage.

is it orig or repop one?

Original & repo

That car shows well for being restored over twenty years ago. Saw it in person in Indy and looks like I’ll see it again in Kissimmee.

Rick,
When I saw Dana's car that you restored I can say without a doubt that was the nicest Camaro I have ever seen. Dana had the car on a rack and it was just as perfect on the underside as all other parts of the car.

Thank you sir. That is nice to hear once in a while.
Rick

I even got to drive it (At Russo and Steele) :)


Very beautiful restoration!


Enjoy the pics from Russo and Steele....
