Re: The roads of 68-72 in America.
I couldn't bring cut a hole in the SS hood (even though they were a dime a dozen in those days). Shortly after the picture was taken, I found a Malibu hood in LeMans blue that matched perfectly so that got the blade.

Re: The roads of 68-72 in America.
One of the really fun parts of that era was that you could pull up beside a car and know what factory motor was in it. Today every Z28 has a LS1 from the factory. It was fun to see chev 283,327,350, 396, 427, 454 emblems. On Chrysler products you ALWAYS looked for the HEMI. Ford could be anything from the 289 to the gold 427 emblem. I forget what color the 429 emblem was.

Re: The roads of 68-72 in America.
Here are some pics of a fathom blue '69 Nova with a swapped in 427 (original 396 car)with an Edelbrock tunnel ram, chromed straight axle-by Chapman Race Cars etc. Typical Street Freak from the era. Car was on the cover of Popular Hot Rodding back in '72 and featured inside. Car still sits in original owner Mark Vogts garage-untouched since '73-74. These pics were taken in '71.

Re: The roads of 68-72 in America.
That picture was taken in Lyons IL, on what looks like 47th st. I can see the truck container yard in the background. I grew up about 10-15 min from there. Wow, what a small world! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
