I have my own ideas for how I'm going to do it... drilled the first 2 holes in my new car tonight... Bought a bullnose and emblem from SoCal, and the stainless end spear for the cowl... got something else up my sleeve for the false hinge cover itself... (right now its a piece of 3/4" masking tape) I am quickly learning that nothing fits like you hope it will, filed and bent and ground and cut and filed again 15 times on the bullnose to get it to fit... similar scenario with the cowl spear... but its gonna work, one way or another. Here's a sneak peak at the project in progress...Last edited by joeybsyc; 11-13-2006 at 07:34 PM.

Finished it up today...turned out pretty good... the hood hinge cover is fake, attached to the center of the 1 piece hood top. Along with the red/white pinstripes I think it gives the car a little more nostalgic look... what do you think?
Windshield and headlights are next!Last edited by joeybsyc; 11-18-2006 at 03:01 PM.

Looks good...............I'd vote for the windshield change first to keep in tune with the nostalgic change.
That a real Yenko, or a clone?Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Yep, definitely gotta tackle that windshield... its on its way as we speak. As for my "other" Deuce...It's real...No offense, but I didn't know any of you hot rodders even knew what a Yenko was! 27k miles, sold new at Colonial Chevrolet in Norfolk VA. Had a 6 page feature in the Nov.05 Musclecar Enthusiast magazine. As I said, I'm new to this hot rod scene, but have loved musclecars forever... here's a pic from the photo shoot... some may recognize the background, it was shot at York fairgrounds, home of the NSRA Nats.

Unless the power parkers beat me out (or it rained too much), that's close to my favorite spot at York
