Title: Vega Wagon Modified
Post by: Bill in MA on December 31, 2017, 10:05:24 AM

197x Vega wagon mod.  The primary color is Valspar "Flat Caramel Honey" with that cheap Project Source flat black elsewhere.

Overall I'm pleased with it but if I was allowed one re-do it would be getting the body more level; kinda disappointed with the "up-tilt".

I'll get it 100% right next time!  ;D

When coming out of a corner the front end would lift under acceleration - there you go.  Simple and all business, built in a small garage in someone's backyard.  I like it.

Don't worry about the angle of the dangle! That thing is great just the way it is! Very cool looking racer!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!  :)

A tad chilly out there, Jim.  Was 3F earlier this morning.  11 now.  We broke out of our 2 week long deep freeze on Thursday, just long enough for the storm to dump 15 inches of snow.  Now we're back in the freeze-a-reeno again for the next couple of days.

This is the type of weather that caused Al Gore and the "experts" change the moniker from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change".   ;)

That turned out beautiful, Bill. Love the exhausts and overall excellence of the build.
