Man it looks good. I wish we had seen this post earlier. We know a lot of stuff about Yenkos but not as much as the famous guy in the next town by mine, League City Texas. He worked building the original Yenkos and raced for them.Wrote most of the books about them to. He is retired now but is involved in City government. Quite an amazing fella. We are helping to rebuild one now that was "restored????" this is what it looked like a couple of months before the restoration. looled good but was a amatuer job

Really, he would be awesome to sit down and have a chat with!!

Here is member 69trk's truck with this color on it, thanks for the pic.

Also, remember when I said I needed proper lighting, I meant it, I got the color a little dark, but outside you can not tell. really hard to spray a transparent color into all those little nooks and crannies with out the proper stuff.

do you have a color code for this red/copper? or is it custom from that shop?

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone

Thought I would give you guys a bit of a update on the car. She does still get driven, but not a whole lot. got to see her last weekend, my heart melted a littel. I love this car so much. But she still looks gorgeous!!! even with the dust on her.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone

Awesome. I bet it was nice to see it in it's garage too. :lol:

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone

Just read your build nice work, great looking Camero but somebody needs to buy that car a cover would hate to see the paint messed up after all the hard work you put into it.
