old school Day2 look

[musclcar]

do alot of you guys here have this type of look on your cars and how exact is your build-up .i've got this look on my 72 camaro ss and it really represents that day2 old school theme .i get alot of weird looks and responses when i say that term "old school day2" like they do not understand it at all http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Hey Chuck, You must be using that term around guys that are 25-30 years old. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Im doing a day 2 69 Camaro SS at my shop now as a frame off, BB, headers, 2x4bb, bigens and littlens cragers with cheeter slicks, slappers, 488 rear with M22, colume mounted tach and under dash gauges. Should be tons of fun and horse power and a early 70`s look on a very nicely restored car.

over at nastyz28 they think my car is stupid looking with the N50-15 tires sticking out of the rear wheel wells .almost everyone over there has not a clue on Day2 build ups . there's a thread going over at nastyz28 about day2 old school cars and i'm the minority http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

How exact? I guess this type of question compares to the type of restos your use to.....Do the best you can,don't cut corners...and NEVER buy parts from Summit,Jegs..ect.The litte items stick out like a sore thumb....Cragers aren't Cragers..get it? My pet peeve....don't ceramic coat/powder coat anything.....EVER.Leave the Cal-Tracs and poly bushings on the shelf.....Traction Masters,Lakewoods...NMW's.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif On a true "day two" I like to see most parts even pre-date the car by a few years....Never the other way around....I recently found the "right" lug nuts for my TT rims....Felt great when somone at a local cruise noticed and said to his friend..
"Wow! He even has the old school lugs on his mags...".... Now that's what I'm talking about... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

all my parts on my camaro are from swapmeets or from evilbay and i've done alot of research into making sure it the correct parts .i'm running N50-15's and 165-15's with ansen sprint 15x10 and 15x4 slot dish mags .old style lakewood slapper bars are also on the car .the engine is a original LT1 350sbc with all the speed parts from the late 60's and early 70's

You can't win that battle...If they don't understand they never will.....Just be thankful you "Get it"...More parts for us.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif


That 72 looks like it's right out of Cars Mag.... IMHO Lose the tach and put in a Moroso cable driven unit......Sweet!


Steve

[Salvatore]

Thats right Steve a Moroso or even a Stahl tach drive. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif Day 2 Dave Miller and GTO-DON have a ton of knowledge on this subject also. Those boys got the parts. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Seems so. Good! More for us. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[396L35]

I have to agree on the tach... Moroso or a Jones tach drive... I think the Stahl tach is too early for your car.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[GTO_DON]

I like it! The only thing for me is I would lower it a little in the back and tuck some L-60's under the wheel wells with a little thinner rim! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[musclcar]

i had that tach already so i installed it but i did have an old sun super tach that was mounted on the steering colum . heck i would like to run a tach drive mallory distributor and a moroso or jones cable drive tach .i keep getting outbid on those all the time on evilbay though

[six-corners]

Dude, that is on bad ride. I have always liked that look. When I was younger these are the kinds of cars that got me into the whole thing. Nothing wrong with the stock look at all, but to me something like this really stands out. AWESOME CAR.

Man I love that look.I am looking for a set of real supertricks for my car,and maybe a set of 15x3.5 sprints for the front.Right now I have to live with the old style centerline I have on it.I went for a look that is more the "Day 2000" look,which can best be described as what it would have looked like if one of my crew had figured out how to make our high school hot rod run 10's.This car was actually a high school shop project in my class back in 1988,and belonged to 2 different friend's of mine while I was in high school,and it was actually the only car with nice shiny red paint back then.I even raced against it with my 73 Camaro back in the late 80's.Fiture projects include redoing the dashboard with conventional chrome bezeled 2" guages and finishing the paint job in Citrus greeen.I was thinking of a motion stripe since it is powered by a real aluminum headed 427 chevy,but I am on the fence about that.Here is what it looks like when you take a perfectly good 10 second bracket car{9's on the nitrous} and remove all the "fastest street car" crap and give it a little old school look.
