hobbybobby Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Rat Vega Custom Chevy Compact Tom Daniel, ~ 1972. Take a Chevy "RAT" engine, harness it to a Vega panel truck and you got it...RAT VEGA! This potent panel truck packs a heavy 454 cubic inch muscle motor and soaks its traction from fat slicks on chrome mag wheels. Custom front end is topped off by a see-through air scoop. Hood removes to show off the super detailed mills. Finally done. I think, there have passed some twenty years, since I started this project. At first it was just molded in yellow. ( its the 1973 reissue) Then came a blue over the, before individually taped rectangles. Then everything disappeared unfinished, back in the box. This graffiti thing, it was many years later... And a few small changes... Hope, you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have it stashed away in the "needs to be fixed" box along with 3 other kits to build some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
