hobbybobby Posted October 24, 2013 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.

Davewilly Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Very Very cool. I have always love this kit...maybe cause it was one of the first ones I ever built as a kid. I still have it stashed away in the "needs to be fixed" box along with 3 other kits to build some day.
Greg Myers Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Wow that really makes it for such a cheesy little kit.
Shardik Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Fantasticaly original and well executed. I've got a photo' file full of grafiti, and I never thought of doing this. Bravo on a real eye-catcher!
