Lol. I remember her saying that. The guys were laughing about that last night while playing poker at Franks cabin.

The original Yenko 427 engine is almost done...my drivetrain guru Dave McGaffee says it will be on the engine stand this week to break in the motor. Dave and I spend time at the track together...doing 1/4 mile passes in the RG Copo

Default Headers

The original headers are being massaged by our local fabricator. They are in nice condition to begin with. On the Yenko paperwork John was charged $172.00 for headers and deep tone mufflers.

Great progress! Car is looking amazing. Arone is the top tier restoration shop. He has impressed me now numerous times and it just keeps getting better. I wouldn’t be able to stop smiling.

Looks beautiful. Are you redoing those headers in white? If so please let us know who you plan to use to coat them.
