I vote slots. Incidentally, I have a set of 15x6 chrome slots......
Lol but seriously, I prefer slots on these.

I saw a day 2 black 67 on facebook with slot mags up front and really like that look. The search is on!

As stated prior I did find some M/T valve covers in great shape. One was spray bomb black so I have been testing on how to polish the fins. I have them now both prepped for paint hopefully I'll get to it tonight.

Jp - congrats on getting the M/T VCs! No taping necessary. Paint 'em black and then attach a sheet of sand paper to a board and lightly sand the tops of the ridges of the fins off. Easy peasy! Looks crisp and right!

Thank you Mockingbird! I found a paint stripping wheel on a drill works very easy on removing paint from the fins. Your car is my motivation for this!

Good to hear JP! I appreciate a stock car and all that it takes to get it correct, but Day 2 allows you some creative freedom to experiment with the look and putting together a complete package that looks just right! BTW, guys like Sammy Scardino, Grady Burch, and other savvy dudes 'round here are my go-to guys for all things D2!

Was messing around on here looking at tow tabs and saw some pictures of homemade style tabs. I mocked these up with just cardboard but really like the look and seem really easy to make and I would mount it to one of the bumper bracket bolts. Just need to get some 1/4 steel to make them

You have a cool platform to work with! Consider mixing up your wheels which was quite common then. Black steelies out back and slots or Cragars up front. Keystones are very awesome as well. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!
