Fresh off the bench. Still a few small details to work on but I took advantage of the weather to get a few outdoor shots of the Barry Setzer Vega.

Super cool Mike!  Love the engine bay tin work and the window partially down is such a cool detail.  Not surprised though, I saw your cars at the HMCA show a few weeks ago and they were all awesome too!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I took the Vega to the Great Lakes Challenge show over the weekend and it did pretty well.

Nice going, always good to come home with the loot.

I had worked at a race car shop around 1978 and one customer had a 454 powered Vega pro-street that actually ran on the street. It came to us pretty much done, for some odd reason the owner kept the stock-ish Vega front end.

We built the structure to stiffen up the front of the car, used a lot of 1" square and 1.5" round tubing. That took the flex out of it.

Great level of detail it looks you really nailed the color,and the rolled down drivers window is a nice touch. Trophies are well earned.
