  • The car is finished now and looks stock except for the wheels. The car runs a fairly consistant 14 sec quarter with drag slicks on. I can't get traction with street tires. At sea level it will probably run in the 13 second range.

    I need to make a new video now that the car is finished. If you have an email address, I will send a couple of images to you.

  • Yes there were rust issues as with most of them. Both front fenders needed to be replaced and I needed to do some patching in front of the rear wheels. The worst area was the ridge above the right rear wheel. Most of the ridge was gone. I cut the ridge from another front fender I had and cut out the old rusted area and replaced it. The operation worked out very well. When you get going on your car, shoot me an email and I will help you with some of the experience I have.

  • Sounds wicked. i have a vega estate out in the backyard i really have to pull into the shop and get a motor into. Thanks for the inspiration. Did you have any rust issues to deal with?

  • Nice! I've never seen a Vega Estate Wagon, it looks cool........I've got a '71 hatchback drag car, and a '74 panel delivery wagon. LONG LIVE THE CHEVY VEGA!!!

  • Gotta love it!
