I loved my Vega back in '73. Bought as many MPC kits as I could handle. This was originally painted my bronze color with a chamois interior! I even crudely made the GT dash! Over time it was rebuilt with a V8...just like my car was. Eventually, I took it apart and stripped the paint off. Opened up the rear wheelwells based off a '74 kit. I then had some custom graphics made in various sizes. The plan is for a Motion Super Vega 454 in Ontario Orange with black stripes. The driver's side wheel well still needs massaging....then don't I find out that there is a resin available with a crisp L88 hood! it's like jumping thru hoops to make a one of a kind only to have Ron Cash cast one up. (just a little jab at Karl!) There is a local car owned by Paul Ziemba that gave me the idea to open up the back end. It was a race car that was put back on the street recently. I still have a few '73 kits and do plan on doing my original GT!
