You may not understand what I mean by "Day Two". These are cars that have speed equipment that was correct for the period. I'm not talking billet, modern high tech speed parts either that you can buy anywhere today but specifically swap meet fodder. One thing that really gripes me is someone will have a modern day chrome Autometer tach on the column and call it nostalgic!! What is nostalgic in my book is a Sun or Stewart Warner. For instance, I just picked up a set of very early style Lakewood traction bars that are '68-'69 vintage. These bars have changed dramtically in appearance over the years. It's neat to have a piece on the car that was available when the car was new. These bars will be restored just like they were in '68 with correctly shaped snubbers, black phosphated bolts, correct decals etc. It adds "character" to a car in my opinion. Also adds another enjoyable/interesting aspect to a restoration.

I guesss this is what makes this hobby so interesting is that you can build the car how you like....

I won't even get into the argument that most people today build their car based upon what other people think how it should be done

Am I the only one that can't stand the G-machines and Pro Touring look???
