Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[WorkinProgress]

Rick,

Not sure if you posted the part number for the R.H. strip assembly so here it is. Can be found in Group 11.015 #8728021 R.H.. Normally even numbers are designated for the right side of car, but this is an exception.

Fantastic progress Rick and Annie!

Yes Warren I did forget to post the number so thank you. Chris White was just telling me about that part number switch.

Man that looks awesome. If I had that window fuzzy I'd give it to you.

[SS427]

If you had one I would gladly pay you for it!! its costing me way more sitting here not being able to finish the interior.

Great job Rick and thanks again for posting

did you get the original air filter lid with your car?

there was a discussion on 427 COPO and Yenko Chevelles on if they came with a 427 decal on the air filter lid or no decal.

There are original pictures of 427 COPO and Chevelle that had no 427 decal on the lid.

Yenko may have added a 427 decal on the lids of some so its hard to say if they came with one or not

I did not get the air cleaner base or lid with the car. I found a black 396 lid off the 70 he had owned but never found the chrome one. I debated for quite some time whether to put the 427 decal on there or not and looked at as many photos as I could find though admittedly very few were survivors and those were COPOs. I would love it if some would post unrestored original photos of engine compartments from these cars and am not at all against removing the decal. Thanks for the input.

Is it out of line to ask for a final, all rolled up cost for this level of restoration? Since you are in the biz you probably kept pretty good records. Just curious about whats the damage on the top level restorations and since this one has been detailed here so well if gives folks an idea whats ahead of them.

According to an earlier post by Rick, this is where he was at last month with hours: "Jim, Annie and myself have put a total of 1070 hours in so far and Jamie and his crew another 1100. We do not put that many hours in most of our customer cars, however it is not all that far from that."
