Don't know if anyone is still reading this or not but will add an update anyway. First let me address the missing stripes. Earl wanted to have the car repainted because it had a few paint chips in it. If we are remembering correctly we did contact the Yenko dealership to get a stripe kit but were told there weren't any available at the time. They did send us large door decals (about 2'x1') with what Marlin says are the Yenko crests. They sent three of them and we still have them. Just didn't like the idea of them on the door. I checked with JW Nova several years after that because I thought about buying a set for Earl for Christmas one year. They were out of my price range at the time. It really wasn't that big of a deal to us. Earl and Doug took the Lakewood bellhousing out of the car yesterday and put the original one back in. Earl told me last night and I quote, "The underside is still rock solid."
I was really glad to hear that in case we decide in the end to just get the car on the road and enjoy it again. Will know more this weekend. Marlin, a curiosity question, do you know how many of the remaining Deuces were sold at the Canonsburg dealership? Linda
