So called Day II?

Lakewood 3 point roll bar, a good set of Stahl Headers, Moroso Tach (cable driven on the dash even), Mr. Gasket, Mallory or Accel dual point CD dizzy, aftermarket shifter (cut and diced in), Slapper Bars (bright yellow), Drag Wheels (Centerlines, Cragars, or Street Tricks) and some old M&H Racemasters with Pizza Cutters on the front. Next stop, pick a solid cam from the bottom of the page and work the hell out of the heads with some Harland Sharp rockers and a set of guide plates w/ studs. That's what I'm talking about. Day II, Year II...I don't care which style applies or what you want to call it, it's freakin cool on these cars and was right for the 70's and the early 80's. Kym Miller certainly didn't care that he was hacking and stick welding all over his original sheet metal, so why should I be concerned?

Might be worse to keep it as a clean polished car that seldom gets driven or thrashed on while it sits tucked away in the confines of a heated shop. Life speeds on by here buddy...and we gotta have fun while we're here with the living. When's the last time this car went down the track or had some Day II performance goodies on it. In fact, when's the last time if was taken out and thrashed on? Don't hate on me for wanting what I still think is cool on these cars. Too many of these cars are over restored, under appreciated, and parked to collect dust I say

I'm taking a page from Grady, Dans & Mikes book. Mine's going Day II
