John,
It's good to hear from you also. It's been a while since the CCI/Eckler show last July. Many shows in between. I don't recall seeing any other Yenkos at local shows other than yours and mine. Does anyone elso know of any Yenkos in the Southeast area of Virginia?

Pete,
Shoot me a PM with the codes, I have a sheet that I can decode them with. I can probably fax the sheet to you as well. Let me know.

Alan, You related to the Ives in Barnegat Light?

Sam,
I am almost positive that we are related. If they are a part of our original family that settled in that area many years ago. Most of our family is located up and down the East coast because it all started with two brothers who came to the "colonies" back a couple of centuries ago. I don't know the folks specifically that you are talking about but they are for sure on the old family tree.

Alan,
Great job on the restoration. I was just wondering if perhaps you saw my car at Colonial when you bought yours. Mine is red with black stripes and it also has the sport mirrors. It's a long shot I know but I was just curious. I've had my car for 20+ years and I am currently restoring it.

Bob,
I probably did see your car when I bought my car. I went there right after they got in a large shipment and they had 12 Deuces on the lot(can you imagine?) and they were in 6 different colors. They had each color in an automatic and in a four speed. It was quite a sight for those of us who like these muscle cars. So, thanks to my insurance agent I didn't buy the Corvette but the Deuce instead.
I wish you all the best on your restoration. If I can help with part sources or restoration pictures that I have on CD, please let me know. Your best source is my yet to meet in person, good friend and mentor on this project, Marlin. He reads this board pretty often so I think he would be glad to help also.
