Frank is going to have a great canvas ...when Troy purchased the car in 76 it had approximately 8 thousand miles on it ...it is rust free with all original sheet metal , glass and interior. It reminds me of our 67 Yenko in the same condition....we will ask Troy to help with questions during the build. He is very proud of his car. When we finish the car I hope to have Troy and family come to MCACN for the show.

This hood was a short lived addition before the original cowl hood was put back on. Notice the black rocker panels.

I want to give 100% full credit to Matt Lamer for the relentlessness amount of research that he has done for this car.....thank you is not enough appreciation for your efforts. You have given your time and passion for cars to make this happen. This support team is going to bring this car back to its former glory when sold new at Nankevill Chevrolet.

Looks like the rockers were Gold in this photo...
For Black to have been applied to the fender during the painting process at Chevrolet Assembly there would have to be a SPECIAL NOTE as it would not have fit typical production what so ever - non style trim cars have body colored rockers. That leaves the possibility that 1. The Fender was blacked out in the touch up booth OR 2. The rockers were painted Gold in the touch up at the end of Chevrolet assembly. IF scenario #1 occurred - The black on the fender was applied in the touch up at the end of Chevrolet assembly - The tape line breaking the gold and black will be BELOW the trim - not through the center trim screw hole on the fender. This would also lead to the following paint layers being CURRENTLY on the fenders and the rockers - From the outer most color Burgundy - black - gold IF the fender is Burgundy - Black - Gold and the Rocker is Burgundy - Black - Gold - Black - Gold - Then it was in all likely hood painted in the same manner as Dave's (Bill Hunter's) X66 Yenko with the rockers having been painted at the end of Chevrolet Assembly.

The OG Motivation Yenko was a picture whore. I have been able to find roughly 64 vintage pictures of the car from its various owners and various drag strip photographers thus far. Gotta love the Cool Can and the Big Holley 2brl carb they were running at that time.
