[/ QUOTE ] Good eye on that, its a nos A&A fiberglass hood. The real Mason car inspired me to build this Chevelle as more of a day2 style drag car.

Hi guys, just stopped in to say hello. Still watching for any news or other info on my fathers car. Ron

Re: 67 Baldwin/Motion chevelle 427
 

The car is progressing nicely. As you know metal work takes a lot of time. The most difficult task is maintaining as much of the original metal as we can. Ricky is great at metal work, ie. the Yenko Vega Wagon. The end result will be a work of art. By early spring i hope to have most of the metal work completed.

Re: 67 Baldwin/Motion chevelle 427
 

That's a great story and a very significant car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif. Glad to see someone bringing it back to it's old glory. Good Luck and keep us posted.

I've seen the term "day2" mentioned on this web site. Can someone tell me what this refers to?
Thanks
Mike

Re: 67 Baldwin/Motion chevelle 427
 

Day 2 is what they looked like after we got them home from the dealer..headers , mags, traction bars etc. Modifications made to the car to "hop" it up.

Basically "Day 1" you buy the car, the "Day 2" you buy the aftermarket speed parts that are available...finned valved covers, lakewood traction bars, crager rims, sun gauges, hot blonde (riding shotgun), cooler of PBR (in trunk) and ect...basically the aftermarket speed parts that were available back in the day to accessorize the car... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Thanks Charlie and Born30yrslate. I kinda figured that but wasn't sure. That's how I remember the musclecars of the day.

Cragers, Headers, Blonde in the back . 4 on the floor, a fifth under the seat!

Re: 67 Baldwin/Motion chevelle 427
 

Of what I can see your car sits real nice....
....... I can't see your tow-tabs all that well,but they look good and I'm guessin you're gonna round off any sharp edges if any.........Just my lousy $.02... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: 67 Baldwin/Motion chevelle 427
 

Nice Charles. Thanks for posting.

Best heed what JoeG says, he knows a thing or two 'bout these Motion cars. If he says "your car sits real nice..." I'd take that as a compliment! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
