A day two car is a fairly new term restorers use when they do a car that has a few period correct speed parts on it but is otherwise fairly stock. They call it day two because you bought it on day one, then on day two you added some things like let's say some big tires, cragars or torq thrusts. Maybe headers and a sun tach. See where I'm going with this? Some shows have classes for these now even

Ding ding ding. Building a day two car from say around 70-73. Possibly built by a fairly wealthy young man who had a need for speed. I'm hoping you guys like it. Mock up pics coming this evening

Getting warmer. I have a 71 duster on the go right now too but have not built what I'm building in quite a while. It's a new kit if that helps...

It's not a mopar, and those are magnum 500s. I did keep that pic for another idea now. Lol

What I have in mind is a "day two" type car. I will be using these wheels/ tires and some engine stuff from the amt Baldwin motion car. Any ideas yet?

Hey guys. I will change the title a bit tmo once the car arrives. I have this build in my head even though I have a vette, duster and the torino engine on my bench. I will have this new one in my hands tmo but I was wondering if you guys ever build around parts you just have and didn't know what to do with? I found this wheel and tire setup hiding in my stash. They are big/little torq thrusts in white metal/aluminum. I added the redlines today. What could these be going on? Guesses?

Some of the finishes vary from car to car based on production variances. Mopar stuff is famous for that.

Typically mopars are dark grey primer underneath then have body color overspray from the sides in. Rear wheel wells sometimes blacked out sometimes not. Rear springs were cosmoline coated. Which is a greyish gold. Here is my cuda

The boss 302 in the one issue of this kit is likely the nicest one out there. I have a 67,68, several 69s and a 70 in my collection

I could build a sweet ricer

I posted pics of the one I made easily in the drag section

Am I able to join still? I've got a 4 door here...

I'm here! I hit a wall with the look of the engine I was going for. BUT!, I conquered it today after work and it's something I have not seen done to tie together a theme and a look I have in my head for this car. Won't be long now. I hope you guys are as excited once you see it

I would like to see this too as the 340 isn't an overhead cam engine to start with

I fit the 37 Ford street rod independent front end under my on hold pro touring t bolt. Fit like a glove and I built a nice 427 cammer for it. I took the towers right out. I can put pics up of what I have done on mine if you like

Procharger came from a member here. Shucky. He does nice turbos too. You get the procharger, pulleys and belt. I made the bracket, piping, intake, elbow, throttle body, blow off, valve covers. Fuel rails

It's easy. Take a nascar Ford intake. I used a monogram one. Cut it in half front to back and offset the runners. I will build one for someone to cast if there is interest Here is mine for a hemi. I also built this setup for a wedge

That's a 65 steering wheel

Coming along great. If I remember right, I used the firewall detail insert part that came in the AAR cuda kit. Drops right in

Coming along nicely. I noticed the front brakes are on wrong. The calipers should be on the upper rear picture this. If the spindle top is 12 o clock the calipers should be at the 1 o clock position

That turned out really good.

Is that a PE tire mask for the Goodyear polyglas I see on that one part?

No worries. Most of the Ford ones I know from memory but I do keep pictures around for the ones I don't know. My wife loves it when I fill her I pad with pictures of what she deems useless info. Lol

Here you go. It's an easy search for any engine. Don't get me wrong, your hemi turned out sweet

I like the engine but the parted in the middle plug wires kill it for me and most likely any judge. It takes less than 5 seconds to find the correct firing order and add realism. Like this
