Sam, As my 69 CLONE didnt come with the smog parts, I chose to use Hooker Competition(NOT Super Comp) Headers. I bought New from company on EBAY that does Ceramic coating and sells as a package.....I know NOT period correct VHT paint, but much better quality and wont tarnish or rust.....Chuck

I like the look of those daisy wheels. My '70 has a bit of that "sleeper" look which is more my style anyway, so I have mixed feelings on the yellow Lakewoods. I think they look cool with the polished aluminum slots and that "jacked-up rear" look, but I would probably go with black for the low-key look. I'll be leaving my ride height stock, and seeing how big a tire I can stuff in.

How do you suppose they got all that height in the rear wheel wells? Air shocks? There were air shocks in my 65 Chevelle when I got it, both sharing a supply line. You could push one side of the rear down and the other side went up..

Sam--

I just installed new leaf and coil springs from PST. I also did the bushings. Do it once, do it right... thats how I veiw these old cars. The ride is GREAT, height is awesome with 70 series tires!

I have Hedman Elite headers on my car with Jet Hot Coating. I have only one issue of minor break down in the coating -- this is roughly after 1000 miles. Every so often I have to tighten the header bolts, I am considering Stage 8 Locking Header bolts.

I just installed a set of Strippers on the Camaro and they look awesome! They are being painted a silver/gun metal color as we speak. Slots would look awesome, but I LOVE the Cragars on the car.. 14x5 up front 15x8 in the back. Check out some M/T Indy profile tires with redlines in the front for a combo no one has ever sported.

Your going to have a blast with these vintage bolt ons!

What do you guys think of these valve covers on eBay?

eBay Motion BBC valve covers

I like the look of these over the Cal Custom and M/T both, but it would be the only "Motion" piece on my car. Maybe I should get the Nickey ones, as my car comes from Chicago..

Call it like you see it, Frank!

But, I can't SEE the difference between the eBay covers and these on a past feature car.

Of course I'm just looking at photos on my computer screen, and I don't think the eBay covers are NOS Motion covers, but could someone tell me what's different?

Thanks

The Motion emblems are WAY different. Also why put Motion covers on when the car has NO other Motion components? There are a lot better alternatives than those repop covers.

BTW sorry to come off so hard, I think it is cool that you are going to day 2 your car.
