Dedicated Day 2 Thread

[Tommy]

If I am not mistaken he now has a tunnel ram and may have a roll bar or was trying to find one. I think he also has installed tow tabs now. A lot of the guys on Steves gave him a hard time for modifying it to the pictures above... The day 2 look is not welcomed by everyone for some reason. he stuck with it though and wasn't afraid to make major mods. That car looked good before and after. I linked Joe to this thread, maybe he'll post some updated pics. Thats a powertour car too by the way

Thanks Tommy. I lurk around over here but try to stay out of these guys way. My junk has no business here. Yes, this heap made it for the '08 Power Tour and it's going again this year. It's a BBC, Doug Nash 5spd and wears a Grump Lump hood scoop in the rain. The pic you posted was from four years ago, this is current. Great thread guys.

I posted these awhile back, but seeing some of the above cars reminded me of these old "Day 2" rides of my dad's. Sorry for the crummy photo quality.

'66 Elco, circa late 1968... repainted hugger orange, black vinyl top, Wide Tread GT tires.



His '68 Chevelle, bought it new and added an array of over the counter Day 2 parts of the day.



His 1968 327 4 speed International Blue Corvette circa '69/70. Fat Formula 1 SuperStockers, aluminum slots, flared fender bottoms, '69 sidepipes added. I remember this car being around when I was a little kid.



Dad's Lemans Blue '69 Nova SS, note the chrome slots and hand painted "NovaCane" vanity plate, and my mom in the foreground. (That's also her name painted in Old English lettering on the front of the '68 Chevelle above.) I believe this was from about 1970.



Same '69 Nova circa @1971/72, new hood, new paintjob,rally wheels, and now sporting sidepipes. I guess this would be "day 3") He bought this car new, and drove it 10 years, through 10 winters... repainted it at least 5 times, total color change each time. Traded it on a new 1980 pea green 4 door Dodge Omni!

Lucky dog got found a Doug Nash tranny.... Some guys have all the luck . I guess I'll stick with my noisy muncie for a little while longer. I think it's looking great Joe . It makes me want to go out and cut a huge hole in my hood... I got a 454 that would really like a pair of 600's..

[/ QUOTE ] I like them chrome reverse rims, Where did you get em??? All I found where multi pattern wheels that look like crap...

[nuckledragger]

Swap meet, & had 'em rechromed.

They are VERY hard to get NEW or USED in a dedicated GM bolt pattern, Im still looking myself...They Look Good on your NOVA

[x Baldwin Motion]

Just for Tommy.


Everyone else turn away.

Should be able to get chrome reverse from Stockton Wheel in California. That nova looks like an old AHRA Pro/SS car. Something that K. Howie would have raced against years ago along with Fred Gibb. Great pictures of Joe's dad's cars too. That guy was Day-2 all the way! This too all these pictures.

Yep, Stockton Wheel out in Ca. has a wheel called the "Milner Special" that may just be what you're looking for!
