Good comparison on the TLBT cars. One far removed, but period and the other in a very early Day 2 transformation. Perfect counterpoint to my comment but validates the build phase when not taken into consideration. Day 2 stops after some point...Era correct takes over when the build fits a time period.
Great topic! BTW, love that Chevy II.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] BIG |

2 cents worth. Being from the 60s/70's the biggest issues for winning street races was getting traction, and breathing. A L78 Nova with factory E70 tires from the factory would be dead meat running a stock 340 duster/cuda with L60's and a good gear. Cam changes, and motor internals usually happened after you got your ass handed to you by some dick wad mouth runner. It was a natural progression like Big said. Day 2 started with the big three. Headers, Big meats and wheels, and slapper bars. The rest depended on your testosterone level, money, and traffic arrest record.
I do miss those days. |
