Looks great. I'm still looking for a set of those spark plug wires you have. Anyone !!!!!!!

Very nice car. I would LOVE to have one of those sitting next to my GSS Demon. I wish my dad had bought one of those rather than the dark green 350 Nova he had.

<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="color: #3333FF">MCACN II has come and gone and what a HOOT! Big thanks to Eddie M. for all of his help, technical guidance, and detailing secrets in prepping the Deuce for the show (he had two Camaros of his own to get ready!). I thot I started converting it early enough back to the way the Roofs Day-Two'd, but boy did I under estimate. You'd think it wouldn't take long to bolt on a bunch of speed parts - suffice it to say I couldn't have done it by myself. Eddie's wonderful wife, Kimberly, is glad to have Eddie back home rather than him spending countless hours at my shop prepping the Deuce!

Here's a few underhood/underside shots of the post-<span style="font-style: italic">YENKO</span> "converted" Roof Deuce. I was able to salvage Earl & Linda's Cyclone headers, Cherry Bomb mufflers, and the exhaust tips (not shown below) from their original exhaust system...

<span style="color: #3333FF"><span style="font-size: 17pt">Had the opportunity to meet this classy lady. Dr. Lynn Yenko was in 9th grade when she applied the stripes to her Dad's Deuces. She doesn't recall how much she got per car, but told me she worked at the dealership in various capacities until she went to WVU for college. She said she really enjoyed the Yenko people and all of the different jobs she had at the dealership. She majored in Electrical Engineering AND pre-Med. She now practices cardiology in the Chicago area. Very sweet, approachable lady that appreciates and promotes her Dad's phenomenal legacy.</span> </span>

Thanks Jake. It was nice meeting two generations of Dykstras. Please say "hey" to your Pop for me.
