Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
Any of you old Day-2 guys ever paint your brake drums white back in the old days? I was toying with that idea. Opinions?

Sammy...
 Some things were done ,"Back in the day" that I never thought were cool, painting anything white on the undercarriage might be one of them

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
I never did it either Mike on the brake drums or undercarriage BUT may look cool now with my car being Fathom green and checking out some old magazines. Can always repaint the drums easy enough.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
I remember when I was a kid talking to a construction worker in my neighborhood who drove in each morning in a GTO. He had painted his Drums red to match his car. He had a torque thrust style wheel and the drums were very visible. I have never seen white though. I remember the guy looked a lot like Steven Tyler from Aerosmith.... The GTO also has glasspacks and shackles and several things hanging from the rear view mirror.. Maybe a squirrel tail or red tail hawk feathers...

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
According to the factory brochure for a 66 GTO the brake drums were painted red when Rally I's were ordered. So when mine is done it will have red drums.

Take a look at the 1966 Pontiac Performance brochure... http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main...._itemId=126297 So while it technically won't be <span style="text-decoration: underline">100%</span> correct, don't let me stop you. It <span style="font-style: italic">will</span> look great with the Rally I's.

Likewise with Skylarks/GS cars when the road wheels were ordered...

Might have looked cool with the tube-around-the-framerail Super Comp headers.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
White undercarriage is a good thing (it preserves a non undercoated car
 )
