Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
IT was badly dented when William bought the car, the dent actually severed the solder joint on the pick up. Since the inside was like new, we wanted to keep the original tank... so we used some suction cups and air pressure to massage them out a little... next up for DAY II... mid year side pipes...

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
What is the story on those wide bars? I've also seen a set which are wider at the bottom and tapper to a narrower size on the top where the snubber mounts.
Anyone know the historiy on either?

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
The bars on the Black car have been on it since the 70's. They are Lakewood's and look very much like the Grumpy design which was featured in the Hot Rod build up of the 69 Z they did back in spring of 69.
The car also had Gabriel Hijackers in the rear and Hurst Drag Shocks in the front, a lakewood scatter shield, Edelbrock intake and M/T Valve covers when it came out of a 30 year hibernation.
