Re: Motion Tires
pxtx,
It's safe to say anything [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]---but on a quality restoration all factory welds/lips would be where they should, using GM parts---------I can't answer you on repo parts.--JoeG

Re: Motion Tires
Slight type-o previously. Here is what I was trying to get at...
I would expect a Motion prepped car to have the ol' bat roll done on the lip to fit the largest tire possible. If COPO's car had it's original 1/4 lips and is a Motion car (no disputing that) it would be a little surprizing. If the lips are there due to 1/4 replacement, it would seem more reasonable. I've found from experience that most of cars around this part of the country need the 1/4 replaced/reworked as part of any type of restoration. The recently uncovered Orange Deuce is a perfect example. Joe, I'm sure you can relate too. Anyways, I understand the majority of the cars discussed here are worthy of the higher quality restorations and am not looking to take anything away from that side of things. I look forward to seeing everyone and the cars they bring to the SCR6!

Re: Motion Tires
The 1/4's were replaced with NOS pieces on my car and all the factory welds have been duplicated throughout the resto process. When finished, it will certainly be over-restored, but that's my personal preference. I was not interested in duplicating assembly line type quality, I do however recognize that some people like the orange peel and oversprayed paint. I do however, plan to drive it on occassion and make some passes at the track from time to time. L-88, 4.88's, M-22 and a Hone O.D. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Re: Motion Tires
found this picture of a 69 Motion Camaro with 14in Goodyear WT GT on front and Inglewoods on back. Can't tell what size on back.
One thing odd I notice after looking at about 15 pictures of different 1969 Motion cars (from 1969) none have the Motion emblem on them.

Re: Motion Tires
Joe C, I asked Marty Schorr about the car you posted. He swears that no one at Motion knew of the COPO cars, but the picture sure looks like one?? Would be an excellent question this Friday evening for both Joel and Marty.
