A Yenko Stringer Clone - In Progress |
Since the demise of my '65 Corsa, a new project is afoot. The crashed Corsa at the left is becoming the organ donor for a Yenko Stinger clone. |
The beauty shown below is a '66 Monza 110/4. I acquired it in a trade and seems to be in reasonably good shape. As near as I can tell it has been parked in a carport since about 1980. A copy of a 1978 Arizona Daily Star was found in the truck and since it is almost rust-free, I'm assuming it an Arizona car. A great foundation for this project. |

Van Pershing - Tucson, Arizona |
Some paint stripper, sandpaper and a decklid and sail panels and it's starting to look like a Stinger! |
December 2004 |
Bodywork is almost done. Guide coat has been placed over the primer and block sanding is under way. |
April 2005 |
Finally the paint. White with Nassau Blue stripes and highlights. |
Just adding the wheels and tires really makes a difference! These are 14" X 7" Pontiac wheels painted black with beauty rings and home-made hub caps. |

The interior is almost done and the exterior is almost completely done. The next items will be the engine install and the brakes and it should be drivable!! |

It's almost done, if "done" is ever a realization on these kinds of projects. |
