crowe-t Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Excellent start! Keep it going. Vega's made great drag cars. What tube chassis are you using? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinframe Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Front frame pieces, firewall done and one tub in. Hopping to finish up the other tub in the next day or so and get even closer to paint. Have to build the front and rear suspension mount the motor and build the rollcage… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinframe Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 scratch built shocks and springs for the rear end and for some reason I decided to make the front end removable.. it’s going somewhere, stay tuned to see where it ends up..

ridinframe Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 well the old Vega got a pro charger added to the motor which may get the motor moved back into the firewall a bit.. front suspension is starting to come together, four link is being built for the rear and hopefully this thing will run into some paint soon.. this Vega was the inspiration for all this, just lower and meaner but paint wise I’m looking at a green/gold metal flake party… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
