Nice stance on the camaro

Pat, I think your car would look awesome with real chrome reverse wheels. You can buy them again very reasonable. Don't get the chintzy multi bolt pattern but the real ones-they are reproduced again .. Get em reversed too and don't run hubcaps. You have lots of blue paint on your car..needs to be broken up with some chrome an the chrome reverse will be dead on for the 67-69 period. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Pat_Dilling</div><div class="ubbcode-body">My Day 2 style L72 '68 Biscayne tribute is getting close to the &quot;done for now&quot; point. It was a running driving somewhat finished car when I got. I am working to make it a close memory to my original L72 car that is mentioned earlier in this thread. Some of the things I have done is replace non-period correct things like braided fuel line, split loom over the wiring, aftermarket steering wheel, fuel cell and other things. I also painted the black Rallye wheels body color and put narrower wheels and tires on the front. Most recent change was replacing cut down rear springs and air shocks with Moog stock replacement springs and KYB heavy duty shocks. Last thing in this stage will be installing a radiator/fan shroud. She is just about ready for Hot August Nights in Reno. Here are some pictures of the way she sits now. I am open and appreciative of suggestions to hit the vintage Day 2 mark. You can see more of the things I have been doing, including some videos, at the Biscayne My Way link in my signature.

I'm doing some research on my '69 Camaro ex-racer and am finding it did some battle with Hemi cars when it was configured in B/S and SS/D. I must tell you, I'm beginning to get intrigued with some of those elephant engines......don't worry, I'm not jumping ship!!! </div></div>

Few years later after a blown slick

Thanks for the ideas. Since this posting I replaced the 454 with a CE block L72. My current project is changing over to a short water pump and driver side alternator that would be correct for 68. It's getting closer and closer to the way I want it and more similar to my original car.

Ouch!

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
 

Kurt, Wow! That Camaro took a shot! That had to be more than a blown slick.....like blew an engine and got in its own oil at speed and tagged the wall......hard! When was that?
Pat, Love the Biscayne and eight tracks! I always liked white wheels myself, might be a little bland with the light Blue, but easy enough to try.
And that '74 Malibu had a metamorphis!!! What a change......for the better! A very affordable and fun car that you can actually use!

Comp Cams sticker from the 80s. I don't know if they still use this design or not. My grandfather got it when he put a cam in a 350 he built back in '87.

Also have an old Mallory Voltmaster Mark II coil
