Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[tom406]

That 979xxx tag is from a Pontiac transmission, a '68 GTO spec M20 I think.

The other one was from a 69 Chevelle just do not remember if it was from m20 or m21

I use both aerosol and liquid form as well as several other types of sealer.

Rick, I notice a bunch of small items that differ from my research. Maybe plant, maybe early/late, maybe the COPO vs. L78, but they're there. I'd like to get together and discuss them if you get a chance.

[SS427]

Please do. I will admit that I am somewhat new to the 69 and they do differ than the 70 so I am more than happy to learn. I will say in my defense that I am ONLY replicating what I found on this car originally and I photo documented everything I found before we ever started but would love to talk.

Just to be clear, I'm in no way saying you're not entirely accurate with your '69. I do know that the more '69s I study, the more differences I realize. Heck, my brother is restoring a '69 KC SS that is 3 weeks apart from mine and it has unveiled many assembly line differences on generic parts, not just the option differences. Just trying to broaden my own knowledge.
Again, thanx for taking us along!

Jer, in no way did I think you were implying that and quite the contrary. In the very beginning of this thread I asked for constructive criticism or corrections/suggestions as I do not know the 69 Chevelles like I do the 70 and welcome as much input as I can get. I have gotten a ton offline from members and it has been great! I have always made a point to study every car I restore to insure it is correct especially when I do not know them such as the 68 Yenko Camaro and the 70 Z28 I restored several years ago. Now we are doing another 70 RS/Z28 made within 800 units of the last one so that research is really paying off. Thanks for any help you can supply Jer.

Rick...having been a big fan of cars that you have restored for many years now I know that when you finish this Chevelle it will be absolutely spectacular! Is you goal still to have the car finished and unveiled at MCACN in 2019?

On a side note....I would love to see pictures of the 70 Z28 that you say you are restoring now when it is finished. You can send me pics directly, pm me for my email address.

Yes, it will be at next years MCACN. Thank you for the compliments. Here is a before shot of the Z. Sweet car for sure and another M22, 4.10 car.
