Late 60's/early 70's look

OK... the 70's. This was way before my "experimental" days, so I should remember most of it.


OK, we got the Hi-Jackers with mile-high rear ends...Slapper bars that did nothing....and Cragars with ridiculously huge rear tires. Have we forgotten about painting your rear axle flouresent white? Or how about those huge manufacturer stickers we put on our quarter panels (or rear windows) that said PLYMOUTH or DODGE.... and let's not forget about every high school kids dream exhaust system: a pair of Hush-Thrush and flex pipes cobbled together?

And yes, I spent more than one evening following "the big boys..." out to Connecting Highway, Fountain Ave, Laruel Hill, or the Clearview Expressway for a little late night street racing. By the 70's Cross Bay Blvd. was a memory...

That explains why my rearend appears to have been painted white at some point, and it has now almost all come off. My car seems to have been modified at that time and then set aside, which is kool because I would have done the same things if I had the means back then.
Page 44 of the January issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines has a reader's letter who did a 68 this way.
There is also a 'Hang 10' Dart.
I want to get a set of Thrush but I am afraid they will leak bad.
Thanks for the info, I need to get some white paint!
