Old style cragar ss vs the new style ss

[Day2_69Z]

Sam,Dave & Joe,
You are all both right and subjective.
to the Real World of Day 2.
My car was sold in November of 69 when the year was over.
1970 was the start of Day 2 for this build. The items Did Not get installed all at once but as a "progression" of Performance and appearance.
Trying to be accurate, detailed and correct for the period I set a time frame from 1970-74 for acceptable speed parts.
I acquired dated catalogs, Era magazines and NOS or Boxed items with dated packages,directions,even dated parts.
Some were made and marketed for years prior and post my time frame. Some with a small window.
Judgeing a Day two car is subjective at best. Opinions, knowledge and facts needed would be immense considering the volume of parts, manufactures and application.

Cragars manufactured in various time periods are as different as NOS parts made decades apart. Reproduction parts made years or decades apart are vastly different from Original, NOS ,NORS, reissued parts.
Are you judging wheels differently than Reproduction, Nos or reissue parts ?
Or being subjective and reasonable as a group of men can be on a 40 - 45 year old car & parts ?
