Great story Bill. In your story you said "Day 2 Car". What exactly does that mean?

John G: Good to hear from you. You are correct about the L78 car, I still think about that car.

JAG: My docs show my car coming out of SC so there is a very very good possibility that is the same car. I don't know how to tell for sure, but my hunch is you are correct.

Dowop: Day 2 to me means the way the car would have been modified shortly after new and would be done with period correct parts.

Everybody else: thanks for the kind words.

Bill D

It means you treat your car like it was meant to be treated, taking off all that rediculous engine choking emissions garbage, popping on a set of headers and straight pipes with a couple cherry bombs, new high rise single plane intake manifold and Holly double pumping carb with accelerator pumps so she can breeeeath, ahhh, then trash those skinny spippery treads and rims, bolt on some traction bars and 10" rims with L-60-15's, some air shocks and maybe even a nice big cam...dang, i gotta stop, im getting all worked up and excited here...
