Greg Whitetop is right in that I am doing a "day 2" theme on my car. A couple of suggestions are if you are going to do it at all IMO you are completely defeating the purpose unless you run bias ply tires and a vintage battery or in my case a Battery Topper. Most people can't deal with a set of old style tires because they "think" that it will give them a crappy ride. I can tell you from driving on them for a few thousand miles now that it is just a myth about the bad ride. If most people don't like the ride with them they shouldn't drive a muscle car in the first place. If you want a comfortable ride drive a Lexus. Another thing is like whitetop said use parts from the period of the time frame that you want to accomplish. Dont use parts that were big in the mid/later 60's on your 70. Parts from 70-75 are cool IMO. I must say that most people use magazines to judge what would be "correct". I only use them as a guide. Only a handfull of cars made it into magazines compared to the millions of american muscle cars that had different things done to them that were not in mags. Ask guys in your area what them and people they knew were using to hop up their cars. For instance nobody I asked used SW gauges but ran with the Sun in my area. Like whitetop said it is a regional thing. If you look at my car I wanted NOTHING on my car to tell you it was past the 70's. Everything from style, parts, decals, licence plates, and even floor mats must be time frame correct. If you do it do it all the way. Attached is a pic of my car.
