Here are a few pictures ive gathered from the past. I am a picture fanatic and if this is not the direction the board wants to go then let me know. I will slowly be adding more to this thread so check back when you can, and feel free to add anything you have also.

Just stunning pic's.... After the late 60's / early 70's, just my opinion, the era of the altereds were over. I certainly respect the new altereds for their design and performance....

Dutchman, I'm new to this site and far from a policy maker, but I can't imagine anyone not liking those pics. They are fanatastic. I have one observation on some pics. Your very first pic is of the Mother-in-Law altered. If you look at the header outlets, three of the four on that side have something in the pipe header, resembling baffels, but I'm sure not a baffle. In an action shot of the same car several pics later, they are not there. I wonder if they were some form of header closer/plug to prevent dirt or prevent the valve from cooling too fast?? I hope some one knows what they are. Keep the pics coming. They are great for studing the parts and combinations that were running back then.
