72 Z/28 - Day 2 Brainstorming

[TDW]

I am doing something along the same lines. I have some original, numbers cars and wanted one to play with. I bought a 70 Nova just for that reason. One of the local hot jobs around here when I was a kid was a 70 Nova with a 427. I am going that route, day 2, as close as I can get it to the one I remember.

The Day2 craze is great I have owned a 69 Z since 79 and have alot of the Day2 stuff on it. I bought a Grump Lump a couple of years ago and I might put it on.
I just set it on the hood for a couple of pics. What do you guys think?

I normally run a hole in the hood, it has a Blown 502 in it!!

Don't even consider the aero scoop. That is a late 1990's invention.

A lot of us are getting tired (and broke) after searching for that last damn date-coded, dog dish hubcap from 1969.

People are also getting tired of the car magazines pushing the latest g- machine part and 8 months later the very same magazine saying that same part you spent your $2000 on is now passe'.

This is a whitetopism. Notice how many sets of aftermarket wheels you see at the swapmeets anymore that are in a quantity of 3..not 4. That means somone bent/destroyed one and that particular wheel is now discontinued 1 year after after the person bought the complete set new.

Where did you get the Grump scoop at? Showcars out of canada?

Oh man, you guys are making me drool. After reading this post I have decided that my 70 Z/28 just might be going day 2.

Going with the aftermarket cowl hood only because I have it already and it has holes in it for the hood pins. No console, Hurst Super Shifter, SW tach on the column, water and temp under the dash, Lakewood traction bars (got them already), and my favorite Cragar SS wheels on all corners.

Sam in PA, I am betting you are agreeing with me right about now.

Brings back some great memories.

Excellent inputs here guys! Here are some more pictures. I already have the traction bars. Might I add that I have tested them and they seem to be working well. However, I have no idea what type they are.

Trying to figure out the engine details to. M/Ts and a "MOTION" fly eye Cal Custom air cleaner for starters?
