Day two Cars

[whitetop]

Hello Stefano

What we refer to as Day Two is when the owner tired of the looks/perfomance of his musclecar the day after he bought it he then added aftermarket tach and gauges, mags, intake, carb, headers etc on the second day. Probably didn't happen alot like this but you get the point.

Day Two requires that you run period correct speed equipment from the era. You can have a '69 Camaro and run 1971-72 parts to represent that era. Check out the old Hot Rod type mags from the era and they will give you a good indication of what was popular back then.

Where to buy this stuff? Not from Jegs or Summit.The only thing you van get from them is Cragar mags and headers and M/t Valve covers-which are all correct. Diligent searches through Ebay or car swap meets will net you what you need.

The Mr. Gasket Vertical gate shifter came out in late '71. It would be an accurate speed part for your car. Hurst merged with the Mr g. line in the late '80's so if your handle says Hurst on it would not be correct.

Day two is the way I am doing my motion car. The reason is it cost to much for a concours restoration an i am only 33 years old so I still want to go out and tear [censored] up once in a while. I will never trailor my car unless i break it at the drag strip or something. But thats just me. Maby some day i will restore it but I will enjoy it for now, I will still be looking and buying all the corect parts and just save them for that day when I get older and responible.

Lest we forget, the early Yenko, and, virtually ALL of the Nickey & Motion cars were "day two" type cars from the get go. Seems to me that restoring any car to the way it was first sold IS the correct way to honor its history. Sometimes a concours restoration to factory specs just isn't appropriate.
