Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

I hope some will learn from your thread on what the word restoration is supposed to imply. As in all the attention and time that must go into all the sub components you have shown here in great detail.
This is the best build thread I have ever followed, thanks for sharing with us Rick and Annie

For many years now the first response I give to a potential customer that walks in the shop wanting an estimate to "restore" their car is, "define restoration". I would not be exaggerating if 98% of the people honestly have no clue what a real restoration consists of or what it takes in both time and money to get there.

Nice component restoration Rick. The wiper motor is like fine jewelry and the kick panels look factory fresh.

Where do you source the tubular rivets for the cowl vent doors?

Thanks.

Ace Hardware Phil. I get most all of my specialty rivets (excluding ball joints) from them. They are not cheap even when bought in bulk and I usually buy a quantity at any given time so I have enough in my inventory. They even have the rivets used on the grille brackets. However, the tool is another thing and if you want to use the correct rivets you also need the correct tool and there are several different sizes. I don't recall where I bought mine but they are readily available on the net.
