Cool,

The 286 should match the Sequence number from the build sheet.

[/ QUOTE ]very nice pictures from the plains of Iowa! Not just Deuce Heaven but Nova Heaven too. Leave that floor alone Alan. You need the opening that big for the straight rods that your Hurst SuperShifter use! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Alan I agree with Sam about the shifter. You guys seem to have the day-2 look dialed in. If you go that direction take a look at the 15x4 slot wheels that are offered by wheel vintiques for the fronts.
I am trying to figure out the SS emblem in the center of the steering wheel. I notice some of your cars have a little square frame around the SS emblem and some do not. Was there a change from 69 to 70 or which one is right?

Sammy I think the hole was for a Vertigate, not a super shifter. I have a supershifter now in my red deuce and it didn't take much change. V-gates took a BIG hole.
Most rear shackles seem to be home made. These obviously are store bought. I've not seen that mark/impression before on anything that I can remember.
On the question about the SS emblem, the one on the blk car is original to the car. The one on the H/O Nova isn't. It had a Grant wheel on it when we got it. I'm thinking the emblem on the H/O car came from Wayne Bushey. I'm not sure why the difference, just that the one from the blk car is an original if that helps you.

Yep, Vertigate, they did need more room! I forgot about them! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

69 used the rectangular SS emblem, 70 used the smaller one with the SS "cut-out". The grain on the shroud is different in 69 vs. 70 as well. Some 69's also had a grain texture on the face of the rim, but none of the 70's did.

It kinda funny what different eyes see in regards to those shackle stampings! When I first looked at them, I seen two opposing "P"s facing away from each other and when I looked at a second time, it clearly became an "S" for superior. I remember working at an auto parts store a long time ago and selling Superior Shackle Kits.

Mark, I believe you are right about them being Superior. I saw a "P" before an "S" too.

This car is stunning. I know people have seen the HO L78 we did for Alan last year and I thought that couldn't be topped. Black is awesome. This car is great. Don't want to put anybody on the spot but Darren, Bbbenny,and Sammy all seen the car. Just waiting for the transport. Maybe Copo Pete can check it out? Great car,with history. What else do you need?
Good Luck eh,

That car really is stunning! saw it in Donahue. Very, very nice work from the Iowans. Fit and finish is real nice. A car anybody would be proud of. Perfect color, wheels stance etc. Day-2 at its best.
