Sam, As my 69 CLONE didnt come with the smog parts, I chose to use Hooker Competition(NOT Super Comp) Headers. I bought New from company on EBAY that does Ceramic coating and sells as a package.....I know NOT period correct VHT paint, but much better quality and wont tarnish or rust.....Chuck

I like the look of those daisy wheels. My '70 has a bit of that "sleeper" look which is more my style anyway, so I have mixed feelings on the yellow Lakewoods. I think they look cool with the polished aluminum slots and that "jacked-up rear" look, but I would probably go with black for the low-key look. I'll be leaving my ride height stock, and seeing how big a tire I can stuff in.

How do you suppose they got all that height in the rear wheel wells? Air shocks? There were air shocks in my 65 Chevelle when I got it, both sharing a supply line. You could push one side of the rear down and the other side went up..

Sam--

I just installed new leaf and coil springs from PST. I also did the bushings. Do it once, do it right... thats how I veiw these old cars. The ride is GREAT, height is awesome with 70 series tires!

I have Hedman Elite headers on my car with Jet Hot Coating. I have only one issue of minor break down in the coating -- this is roughly after 1000 miles. Every so often I have to tighten the header bolts, I am considering Stage 8 Locking Header bolts.

I just installed a set of Strippers on the Camaro and they look awesome! They are being painted a silver/gun metal color as we speak. Slots would look awesome, but I LOVE the Cragars on the car.. 14x5 up front 15x8 in the back. Check out some M/T Indy profile tires with redlines in the front for a combo no one has ever sported.

Your going to have a blast with these vintage bolt ons!

What do you guys think of these valve covers on eBay?

eBay Motion BBC valve covers

I like the look of these over the Cal Custom and M/T both, but it would be the only "Motion" piece on my car. Maybe I should get the Nickey ones, as my car comes from Chicago..

Call it like you see it, Frank!

But, I can't SEE the difference between the eBay covers and these on a past feature car.

Of course I'm just looking at photos on my computer screen, and I don't think the eBay covers are NOS Motion covers, but could someone tell me what's different?

Thanks

Re: What headers?
 
The Motion emblems are WAY different. Also why put Motion covers on when the car has NO other Motion components? There are a lot better alternatives than those repop covers.

BTW sorry to come off so hard, I think it is cool that you are going to day 2 your car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
