Thanks for the kind words. There are many nice restorations out there. Some of my favorite cars ever to show up at the reunions were done by Micky Hale and Frank Paine. Very nice work. There seems to be enough cars to go around...BKH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

With the crop of "new" supercars turning up, I would say there are plenty to go around. And, you are right, several top notch restoration shops out there. At one time or another, I would say that most, if not all of the top shops have had a car displayed at a SCR. One of the main reasons for no judging at the event. I know I would not want that job.

Hey I'm not comparing shops - just trying to piece together where the Deuces are, and what condition they are in. I keep track of the cars found, and their present condition. It has been very interesting to see the wave of Deuces proceed from the project status to the restored status, and the corresponding increase in awareness and popularity. It's just one of many things that I keep track of with the Yenko Novas.

Now, if I could just find me a '69 Yenko Nova project - I think I'll try this new shop, James Berry Restorations, but I'm not sure if he'll do a boring Yenko color [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Me? Sarcastic? Nahh!!
How does one see the road through all that junk written on the windshields? I wonder how much research went into those 'happy marks'. Next thing you know, somebody will think it's the 'correct' way to restore. Where was the research on the 'original tires'? Polyglas? I think we've been down the tire road on the 427 Chevelles, all one has to do is read the thread! Oh my..... Good restorations require good research, otherwise you end up with a lot of people doing this [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

marlin,
you may be thinking of jerry davis's car, dennis frances is restoring it, i don't know about the firewall and floorboards, haven't seen it in 2 years.
brian,
the supercar workshop does superb work. when i visited you couldn't squeeze your way through the shop it had some many supercars and a waiting list of 3 years to boot. if you were in north carolina i would 1/2 of my stuff at yours and the other 1/2 at rickys. isn't this all about the hobby! no taking sides, i agree with brian there is plenty of work for everyone right now and this is good for the hobby and the enthusiasts. more power to everyone who has the ability and knowledge to do theses cars, i sure can't. hats off to brian, ricky, troy cricillis, micky hale, scott tiemen, larry christensen, and the numerous other talent out there. i see all the guys with there shops full of supercars and thats a GOOD THING! can't you guys get together and all move to greensboro, nc and open up a supercar depot?

There is a couple of fellows in Monaca, Pa. that are going into the resto business. You will see some nice work coming out of there! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
