69H.O.Firebird Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Another rainy day build. I love that they are reissuing these. But they do not go together easy. Lots of cutting & grinding to get it to sit right. Built box stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogger44 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Even with the fitment issues you mentioned, you built it into a winner. I was kind of on the fence about picking one up, but seeing yours might just convince me to take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazz Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Great Vega Bruce. Nice decal work , I love it! Are the slicks lettered with decals? Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 KILLER VEGA Bruce. Your attention to detail made your build very realistic. I especially like the the way you toned down the rims. I was skeptical on buying one of these kits, but after seeing your build I think I will. Any engine pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordgodbob Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm so glad this kit is out...I'm waiting for my local shop to get their second shipment in, I missed the first. Can you tell us what type of cutting and grinding was necessary? I'm buying a couple no matter what, I'm just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topside of the chassis to the bottom of the interior tub, firewall, thinning of the hood to sit flush with the front fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
