I really feel dumb here? Does Day 2-ing mean that old school retro look? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Dan don't take this in the wrong way but you have already made the wrong choice in a "day 2" modification on your car. Radial tires defeat the whole concept and don't look right IMO especially if they are a modern white lettered design like the BFG TA's. Go with vintage repop M/T's, Pro Trac's, or even Goodyears. They can be bought through Summitt racing for the M/T or Coker for the Pro Tracs. All that BS about them having a crappy ride is not true. I have been driving with the M/T's on back and Wide Ovals on front for thousands of miles and they are fine. If you are going to do it do it right. Just my humble opinion.

Well yes - the way I look at it as Day 1 - the car is brand new and then the next day (Day 2) - you add the after market goodies of that time period - rims, gauges, tires, valve covers and the like.

Thanks. That's kind of my plans for my 67 RS.



I need some period bias-ply tires though. However, I do already have glasspacks. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
