Re: ? about Day 2 mods...
Most guys probably ran a single four but there were still many TR's in my area back in the day.
This is a typical "Street Freak" Chevelle. see attachment

Re: ? about Day 2 mods...
Another 71-72. I love the skinny 15x4 Cragars with 5.60x15 tires, Ladder bars, ET rear end cover etc. These cars have the look we loved back in HS but could not afford.

Re: ? about Day 2 mods...
Belair there is still a muffler shop by my old house that still has Cherry bombs hanging up on the wall since the 60's that they sell. The place is called Robin Hood and is still in Cicero on Ogden just west of Austin. The same guys that put an exhaust on my fathers 55 Chevy in 1968 are STILL there!
Oh yeah Belair you are 5'5"?????? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: ? about Day 2 mods...
Some of the mods I did to my Chevelle in the 70's was installing Mickey Thompson finned valve covers, Doug Thorley headers (were cheaper than Hooker Headers) and replacing the Rochester Q-jet with a Holley spread bore carb.
Had cherry bombs on it for a while. A bit noisy though. The neighbours kids would cover their ears and run for cover when I drove down the street. Later switched to turbo mufflers. Andy

Re: ? about Day 2 mods... lurchs toy
To the owner of the ls6. Nice looking car. There are a couple of things I did to my L78 70 Chevelle back in the day in addition to some of the things you have listed. I ran air shocks in the back so I could change the stance and I had painted the whole under carriage white. May look silly today, but back then we thought it was cool.
