brett Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 While not quite right for either the BB/ big block chev Flopper or the later model (77 I think) AA/ vega, I'm using what I have. Scored some old (unknown) Veney's vega decals and am using an old Revell Schumaker (sp) 73/4 vega kit. Colour is a custom Du Pont red Dont plan on any additional detailing at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Great to see more Vega Funny Cars here. That color looks very good, and it will sure look good with those decals. I can't wait to see more progress with it, so keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 What you are working with looks good. The only way to build this car accurate would be to use the late 70's Vega resin body from Comp. Resins but what you have will be fine, especially considering the body made available in the original kit wasn't accurate either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrozilla Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's okay Brett. You don't have to put in a Hemi as long as you at least WANT to put one in. It's the thought that counts my friend of little furry footed people. Bazinga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks guys, been really busy lately and to be honest to tired to do much in the way of modelling (worried I'd screw something up), but got a little more done' btw Gordon, you want red? checkout this shot with the flash on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 That looks very cool. I've always loved the VEGA . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltwincustoms Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Nice progress on the chassis Brent! I have always liked the Vega for the fact that they are small and you can do a lot with them on a budget. I am more of the fan of 70-71 split bumper's. And of course my all time favorite full bumper Vega right now is the Woolly Mammoth (76 Vega wagon) from "Pinks All Out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave42 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hey, cool build here. Decal work looks good. I've got a Gene Snow Vega waiting in the wings. This is certainly motivation to move it closer to the top of the to do list. Later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
