How did I do?

I should get them back from the powder coater this week... then time to install on my Z28! Before anyone asks, these were painted in a POR15 tar paint and could not be saved without full restoration.

my 69 Z/28 is in Day-2 trim with many old Day-2 correct parts. Sam's car is an original Day-2 car with the orignal Day-2 parts on his car. To me that is a difference. Its like building a "replica" racecar out of a camaro, nova, mustang, cuda etc. Dan, those bars are the holy grail. Good deal!

Will the &quot;original&quot; ones need to be verified using proper documentation? Such as dated receipts or letters from former, or current, speed shop owners authenticating the parts purchases? lol

Re: Traction bars
 

all that I am saying is that Sam's is the epitome of Day-2. When I bought my car I installed the correct Day-2 stuff on it. When Sam bought his car the Day-2 stuff from the get go was on it. Therefore my car like many in my opinion are cloned in Day-2 with the correct vintage parts. And I forgot to mention Schoney's &quot;original owner&quot; Deuce with the original Day-2 stuff from 1970 era.

Understand...back to cookie cutter as-delivered it is...HA...nah, I Day2'd my car to how I would have done it if I had lived it the first go-round...someone's gotta bust ur balls Sal!...

Re: Traction bars
 

I personally think as long as the parts are period correct vintage, its still 'Day 2&quot; in my book. No clones about it! Seriously though, the only &quot;original&quot; Day 2 cars in my opinion were the Baldwin Motion cars. Anything else was delivered stock and the parts were installed after the fact so they're all clones.

If I bought a 3,000 mile survivor today, and then installed vintage NOS &quot;Day 2&quot; parts, would it then technically be considered genuine Day 2 since the car was never modded until that point in time?

Re: Traction bars
 

If I installed those parts on my survivor nova that I have on my camaro I would consider my nova as a &quot;correct&quot; Day-2 replica. And Fred you are right to do so. You said it yourself you restored your COPO as a Day-2 car with the correct parts for a Day-2 look.

Re: Traction bars
 

I've been thinking about putting a name or something, in metal flake, on the rear of the Vega. Since we are now dissecting if Day 2 is clone or original, I think the name will be &quot;Unaffiliated&quot;..lol
