cobraman Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thank you Francis. I am not in the same universe as a builder like yourself but I have fun building with my meager talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 My brain must work a bit different! I never noticed the Ford engine ( and should have) but I did think "That's odd, cobraman's building a Chevy!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hey Alan, it's true I am a Ford guy but i do build lots of different makes and models. I have owned several Chevys as well as Datsun, VW,Austin ect. there is a lot to like about many different cars. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGTRUCK Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Your Vega has the look Ray and always build it your way. I do like that distributor . I know what you mean about a tight body/chassis fit, mine was the Revell Mercury kit , almost put it back in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on my to be built pile. I just need to figure out what color as I am not planning to build the Grumpy car either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done it also!! 2 bolts bottom, 3 bolts top. Makes no sense to have less bolts where it may leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
