At this point of the hobby when there are some many real nice over restored examples of most of the cars we love in every color they came in its time IMO to restore, repaint, fix-up the cars in question as they were used in times past. Way harder to do I bet, doing a car like Sam's Deuce than to restore one with some original and repro parts. Old, original, vintage speed parts are tough to find and expensive these days. I am sure when you walk into the York Show it has to be by now more rewarding than walking into an upscale car show with rows of Yenkos, Copo's, Z/28, Chevelles, novas what have you all in original &quot;cookie cutter&quot; trim. Over restored and under nourished. One is just shinier than the other. Hopefully the person that owns the car you have pictures of will send it back to atleast some early stage of its life as a hot rod!

Everybody has their likes/dislikes - I like to the factory original resto's, and the Day 2 stuff. There's room for both. I've skipped the York show that last several years, it got boring.

The blue car will be an all-out day 2 race car,stickers and all, since the orange&amp;red cars are original.I just bought an old Edelbrock TR1Y(if I remember correctly) tunnel ram for it.I need Marlin's oppinion on something.My orange deuce had 5:13s in it when I bought it and the rear end looked very original.When I took the cover off, I found GM gears with a GM part# and they are 5:13s.Do you think these were ordered or dealer installed? As I said,It did look very original/un-touched with 19k miles.

Hey Andy,

Other Deuces have been found with gears other than 4.10's, but are usually 3.73's. The best way to tell if they were factory installed is to check the date code on the ring gear, it should predate the assy date of the rear if installed by GM. The ring gear should also have a 'GM' stamped into it.

Not much left out there to see right now IMO. Whats NOT boring and very rewarding is spending time with the family and running a junior dragster on the weekends with the whole family involved. True family involvement. Xtremely important especially in these days.
