Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[Kurt S]

The valve covers and intake were masked with one continuous plastic mask for engine painting. So I don't believe there should be any overspray in the middle edges of the intake, only on the ends. Sorry, hard to fix.

For along time I also believed what you posted about the one piece mask. But not so sure now after viewing Grady Burch's 69 COPO Chevelle. His engine compartment is un touched and it also shows some very small amounts of Orange on the valve covers as well as the aluminum intake, it's very shuttle much like the photos Rick posted. It could be Tonawanda used more than on style mask ?

Hi Rick, my intake on my LS6 is unrestored and also has a little orange paint on the edges, as the valve covers too, matches yours to the T. Your Yenko is a work of art. You and Annie are the best caretakers a Chevelle could have.

Rick, while studying your pictures today I noticed the white square grill mounting nuts. Are these what came on your car originally? My 69 Baltimore convertible had round grill mounting nuts( I have parted numerous 69 Baltimore cars and have found round ones on all of them as well. the originals I have are very brittle and I have been trying to find "correct" round ones. See the pictures attached. As you can see these are all a yellowish color, do you know if they where white and just turned yellow with age? thanks so much for posting all of these amazing pictures and assisting me with my restoration,
Rob

Rick it also appears your Headlight retaining buckets are a natural metal color - I was only able to see a small portion on your grill mounting bracket pictures. my originals are black(see pictures attached) I have not touched these and they are in the exact state that I took them off the car. I was just about to begin restoring them.
