Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[SS427]

I do not need one as I just bought one off the site but thanks for asking. My original was not to bad to begin with but elected to replace it anyway with an NOS one.

Rick, I had my original vent balls re-chromed and black resprayed.
if those repros affect your sleep to much.

No lost sleep at all in this case. The repos are actually not too bad other than they seemed to be metric so it required a little thicker felt ring to hold them tight and I had to chrome one piece of the vent that was not chromed. Once completed I was very happy with them.

I think she is called the glass lady in pa she polishes the housing and puts new glass in them her father had the business and passed away she took it over ill see if i can find her card

Possibly the "Mirror Lady"? I have had mixed reviews about her work but as far as I know, she is the only one doing them. I might reach out to her and see if she can simply supply the mirror glass and I can do the reassembly.

Rick the number on the card for the mirror is717 938 2731 and there's another number 717 796 9347

Ok thanks. I will give her a shout.

Well she is finally back at home after a complete and perfect makeover from Jamie Cooper and crew at Super Car Restorations. He does all of our customer cars paint and body and this car was one of his best. He completed it in record time due to magazine commitments and pull every string he could to get it done. Great people to work with.

We met Jamie and his wife Shelly near the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio to make the swap and then headed back to the shop last night.

Annie will be here at the shop shortly and the assembly process will begin. Stay tuned.

If we had known that I would have had Sam stop by and take you to lunch.

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.
