This is another one of those cars that pictures just don't do the car and the workmanship justice. You really need to see this Yenko Chevelle in person to appreciate the beauty and the craftsmanship that went into building this beautiful car! Rick, this is undoubtedly the nicest Yenko Chevelle in exsistance and you and your crew should be very proud of bringing such a rare and significant Chevelle back to all its glory. I've been patiently waiting to see this magnificent car since the build thread ended and let me assure you that it didn't disappoint! It was great to talk with you, have a safe trip home, and thanks for bringing this beautiful masterpiece to the MCACN show.

Completely agree. I wanted to take a few moments to talk with Rick about the amazing job on the car but wasn’t gonna interrupt conversations. Great work sir.

The car looked great. I came by several times to talk to Rick, but never got the chance to see him. I did get to see Ann for a minute.

I wish you guys had interrupted the conversation as it would have been great to talk with you. Thank you very much for the compliments. Annie and I were taken aback by all the comments on the show and how well the car was received. We were very humbled. She deserves the credit as had it not been for her stepping up to the plate and purchasing the car I would not have had the opportunity to do the restoration and consume my life's savings in the meantime. Money well spent and an adventure for sure. There are dozens of people (mostly members here) who played a role in the car's success and offering their help and knowledge. For them were are eternally grateful. We have some truly great friends here at sYc.

Annie was very shocked to win the Leading Lady award thanks to Tamra Perto and MK Insurance. Thank you Tamra!

Thanks for stopping by and seeing the car Lynn. I only wish we could have put up a table and chairs for you like the last time.
