Not that my car is the epidome of Day 2, but here are some things I was going about 1991/2.
The Pink here is residual influence form the 1980's. Tires were 225/70R15 because that is what my dad brought home out of a used tire pile from the dealership. The rears were a 265/60/15 Bias Belted tire.
Here are my ladder bars and "customized" finned 12 bolt cover.
As much as that Cowl hood is cool on that Chevelle Tracy, it kinda sticks out as a departure from a 1960's vibe. I've seen little Pontiac or generic type scoups, Ford Tunerbolt, Corvette Stinger hoods all done in back-in-the-day but never a Cowl hood. It was pretty common just to jack the back of the hood up as you can see in this picture at Atco. That is what I do.
