I've been scouring the internets for really bad D movies (yes they are so bad they aren't B movies) in preparation for Super Chevy!

I guess all of these cars are day-2 clones now... LOL

Exactly.... My Mustang was built in 1974.

BTW Where does my car fit in? I'm replacing 3/4 of the original speed equipment with NOS pieces because the original were damaged.i.e.e the Offie tunnel ram on it was rotted out inside(All ford sb's do this because water lays in the passage), Sun Tach and gauges had major face damage from the sun, one of the M/T valve covers was cracked because the owner tightned it a bit too much at one time, I have found all original NOS Cragars etc that are the same size as the pitted originals...orig cal Custom water neck is corroded to pieces, Hurst Super boot has rips in the rubber on and on.

Let's also talk about quality of workmanship(as Tommy brought up humorsly) I'm redoing the hood scoop hole and making it better. Quality was not exactly the high point on many of these cars back then. The best of the cars on the ISCA show circuit back then would be placed in the basement with the rat rods at shows today.

So does that make my car a survivor or a repo?? What about cars that were original D2, restored in the 80's/90's then put back to D2 status recently with nos speed equipment that matched the original version?

All what matters in my mind is the parts be authentic for the year you want to car to represent. Original survivor Day 2 cars are great but there is so few of them out there.

I'm just glad guys are building Day 2 cars and I don't care about the pedigree TBH

Re: Traction bars
 

The original thread was started about traction bars on 12/04/11. It took until 02/14/13 to get to 8 pages and that is were I made the comment about the Nova being one of the best Day 2 cars ever.
It's only took 10 days to add 6 more pages and we haven't really talked about traction bars.
We have went from Day 2 being discussed as real or cloned, becoming unaffiliated from all of this, a quote from &quot;Throw Momma from the Train&quot;, one member throwing all of his parts away, a new politically correct term for Day 2, a parallel between which is more important..the people who lived history or the historian for working his tale off to bring it all back, all this being called &quot;to political&quot;..lol, PBR,weed and bad movies, Dave...IMO... getting it right by pointing out the pedigree doesn't matter with this tangent of the car hobby, and finally...a thread with shots of some of the best Day 2 rears I have ever seen.

If we haven't solved anything, I think we have all proven we are guilty of being A.D.D. and not afraid to take a thread down a dirt road in record time.
