the ones you had to be aware of were the ones that knew how to get rubber under the wheel wells without HiJackers

those guys knew what it took to get the job done ... and they usually used Turbo mufflers, not Cherry Bombs ... walk softly but carry a big stick is the saying

they also had the good traction bars that replaced the spring plates, not the clamp on kind, and the smart ones painted them black ...

at least that is what I did [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

got more takers that way [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] </div></div>


<span style="text-decoration: underline">Exactly</span> how I remember it too. If you took 3/4-inch off per side (narrowed) the rear housing in a '68-'72 Nova, then a common 4-1/2-inch backspace 15X8 wheel with a L60 would fit. On some cars you'd have to remove (cut off) the back shock dust covers.

I think when we see folks discussing Day 2, they get the players mixed up. There were serious guys who knew how to get with the program and then there were the guys we &quot;tenderly&quot; called &quot;Squirrels&quot;. Those were the guys with the chain link steering wheels, cheap traction bars, air shocks filled to the max, lift kits, and either peace signs or &quot;funny looking&quot; plant leafs glued to their cars. Most of the time, those cars made a lot of racket and little else. They were cop magnets. Meanwhile, the serious players like Jim pointed out pretty much ruled the streets. It was tough to keep up with a well-sorted &quot;Deuce&quot;.

My 2 cents.
