I finished building my 69 around 1992 and it has been a blast to have and do not ever plan on getting rid of it, but would like to make some changes for the fun of it. It is a real SS small head car, correct colors and almost an all original red interior, hope you like it.
Being 41 I was brought up in the day 2 era and remember cruising Hempstead turnpike with my uncle in his 1971 Chevelle. I can still hear the sound of his fingers flicking the Hurst shifter at stop lights. Here is a list of things that I thought were cool.

Hood Pins
Toe tabs
Cragars
Pinstriping
Ladder bars
Sun tach on the hood
Cool can
USA-1 front plate

I would love to see some pics of what you have done, and any ideas of where I should go, and what could be to much, thanks in advance.

Welcome. I like he color combo on your Chevelle. There are a couple of day-two threads on this site. Check them out for cool ideas.

Here's a couple of shots of my day-two'd Nova....

Here are some Mr. Gasket hood locks. They can be found on Ebay every now and then.

Sam: Love the aluminum wheels and I just bought a set off Jason on this site for my olds 442. Here is a picture one month after the original owner bought the car with the same wheels. I will have that same look on my 442 next time anyone sees the car. It has poverty caps now the way it was ordered. Day two stuff is in now and very popular.

Thanks for the compliments, Mockingbird that nova is amazing the one picture of all the parts in the driveway is my all time favorite right now that could be a magazine add. I really cant wait to start collecting parts this winter.

I made a complete list of all of the cliches of the day2 era down to hanging my High School Graduation tassel on the rear view mirror, but what would be to far.

day2killa, Sam does not tell ya but ALL those parts are originally from his Deuce when he bought it. He restored to an even higher drgree ALL those "original" Day-2 parts. He is the official president of............Day-2. There are a couple other guys on here that are CEO's and CFO's of Day-2 also like Dave Miller and Don White IMO. You are doing good. Keep up the good work and keep the questions coming.
