Looks Badd-Ass!

Man I love that look.I am looking for a set of real supertricks for my car,and maybe a set of 15x3.5 sprints for the front.Right now I have to live with the old style centerline I have on it.I went for a look that is more the "Day 2000" look,which can best be described as what it would have looked like if one of my crew had figured out how to make our high school hot rod run 10's.This car was actually a high school shop project in my class back in 1988,and belonged to 2 different friend's of mine while I was in high school,and it was actually the only car with nice shiny red paint back then.I even raced against it with my 73 Camaro back in the late 80's.Fiture projects include redoing the dashboard with conventional chrome bezeled 2" guages and finishing the paint job in Citrus greeen.I was thinking of a motion stripe since it is powered by a real aluminum headed 427 chevy,but I am on the fence about that.Here is what it looks like when you take a perfectly good 10 second bracket car{9's on the nitrous} and remove all the "fastest street car" crap and give it a little old school look.

Hey Chuck, You must be using that term around guys that are 25-30 years old.

You can't win that battle...If they don't understand they never will.....Just be thankful you "Get it"...More parts for us..


That 72 looks like it's right out of Cars Mag.... IMHO Lose the tach and put in a Moroso cable driven unit......Sweet!

How exact? I guess this type of question compares to the type of restos your use to.....Do the best you can,don't cut corners...and NEVER buy parts from Summit,Jegs..ect.The litte items stick out like a sore thumb....Cragers aren't Cragers..get it? My pet peeve....don't ceramic coat/powder coat anything.....EVER.Leave the Cal-Tracs and poly bushings on the shelf.....Traction Masters,Lakewoods...NMW's.. On a true "day two" I like to see most parts even pre-date the car by a few years....Never the other way around....I recently found the "right" lug nuts for my TT rims....Felt great when somone at a local cruise noticed and said to his friend..
"Wow! He even has the old school lugs on his mags...".... Now that's what I'm talking about...
