You'll need the flange, too. There are two out there. One with concentric OD and ID with one edge with a flat cut. The other one has a sort of egg shaped OD, and no flat. That's the more correct one.

As for clones, there's a wide difference between Yenko clones out there. Everything from 350's with Yenko stripes, to very accurate replicas. I would not use a clone as a model for building your car.

As for your 10 10 car, Jack Douglass Chevy in Chicago made their own "semi-authorized" Yenkos, and used colors outside the 6 Don used. I don't know if they made any black ones, but maybe Steve Bimbi, from Nickey (stefano) could shed some light. He's quite knowledgeable, and very willing to help.

Unreal,

Is the flange an extension flange? Do you have a picture of it?

Here is a picture of an original Camaro flange and lid. Notice no flat cut off side, it is mostly round or oval shaped.



This style flange is now available as a reproduction.

Here is a Chevelle flange. Notice the flat side with the
sharp cut off.



This is what you <u>do not want</u> if you have a Camaro.
