This project has brought out some of the best people in the hobby regarding parts and knowledge and we are a bit overwhelmed. A HUGE shoutout to John Hoer or his sYc sign on "JOHN" for his donation to our restoration yesterday. John contacted me and offered us his set of 4 NOS trim rings to us at no charge in return for as he put it, "how we have helped the hobby". He went on further to add, "I found a situation that I could contribute to the hobby and hopefully it will encourage others to do the same." Many people already have and not just free or reduced priced parts but also in the vast knowledge that some had with the 69 Chevelle and/or Yenko Chevelles. We could not have done it without their help.

Thanks also to the many others who have parted with some of their cherished parts they had been keeping for their own project but instead offered them to us for the car. Unreal.

Those are the later ones. Rick's car will need the ones with the four outer clips.
