Traction bars

[Salvatore]

Thats because non car guys think they need everything shiny. Strip all history from the vehicle. Some things/cars need attention but many do not and in my opinion should be preserved if at all possible.

That whole deal is a travesty....another cookie cutter dog dish wearing Copo.

Dan...do what Don says then sell me those traction bars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

This is getting heavy...so next logical question based on the discussion above...if a person restores a car to stock specs but the car is missing original born-with parts, eg distributor, rims, carb, ect...but original GM date code correct parts are used in the restoration to return the car back to as-delivered...is the car then considered an &quot;as-delivered&quot; clone or &quot;stock&quot; replica...

You guys crack me up...I say we drink about it!

Like my Z, I do not think doing a car in Day-2 trim hurts anything if it is a non numbers car. Everybody likes your car the way it is Freddy! Go out and pound on it once and awhile. Does the heart good.

So in 2013, the politically correct term for a 69 chevelle restored and in day-2 trim should now be called &quot;Day-16,061&quot;

(44 yrs. times 365 days + 1 = 16,061)

Did you take into account leap years in your math ?

I'll throw away all my cool NOS and vintage Day 2 parts that I have and have been saving all these years. No one wants to be called a clone day 2 and these parts are basically junk now.

All barn find day 2 cars from this point forward must now be restored with firewall pounded in in around dizzy if car is found with an HEI. All fuses found wrapped in aluminum foil must be rewrapped in aluminum foil. Wires for stereo equipment or fuel pump that are pushed between fuse and fuse holder must be duplicated. Front bowl of holley carb must be beat to death with screwdriver or 9/16 open end wrench if found that way and sheet metal screw must still be installed to make secondaries mechanical. Bent extended shackles have to be reused along with one bent leaf spring and traction bars that are bent or have holes wallered out or have slight curb or road rash.... if factory paint runs and over spray are being duplicated than this new fangled category of the &quot;hobby&quot; must also be exact in all areas.... don't forget to duplicate all the holes in the floor that were drilled for a bench to bucket swap or the parts purchased that were made to fit but weren't ever for that car to begin with....
