    Best and most labor intensive Vega build ever!

    I missed the eng comp finished shot? What a fantastic car. I was 15-16 lusting for a Vega as my first car, I was going to pump an Olds 215 alum block with a munci. But a 67 SS Camaro got in the way. If you cut the front bumper to mimic a 70 RS Camaro it looks really nice.

    Magnificent! I love Vega's and this one is about the best looking one I've seen. Very well done.

    Bravo, very nice work. I had a 73 Vega GT when I was in the Navy. I had a blast in that little car. It had some tricks in it but nothing like this. You made art. Art that goes zoom.
  • @redblackvette
    Wow thank you so much for doing my favorite car. The Vega. I had almost 50 of them. Made many V8 Vegas. My favorite would be a 73 Vega panel wagon. Thank you again for a great video.......

    My best friend had a 71 Vega. We were skipping school one day in 78 and hit a tree head on. Totaled the car but we both walked back to school. Good memories and that little car handled well and was faster than all the Pintos VW;s and Datsons
  • Great video , makes me miss my Vega I had back in the day , 72 Vega wagon with a small block 400 with work done to it , did a lot of street racing in it now running 66 Nova you have a beautiful car car there always loved the look of the front of them ✌✌

    I loved my Vega, white with black ralley stipes, Monza rims, no need to lower it. In the 80,s it turned heads, I was going to do a V6 mod on it and make it a road racer, but it was hit by a truck in a parking lot at venice beach, it was junk after that

    My Brother dropped in a small block 350 in his. This was back in 81 when he did his. Super light car that went super fast.
  • Very impressive engineering and craftsmanship. The roll cage ruins it IMHO but hey, I'm not the one paying for it!
  • Man...nice fab. I LIKE HOW U BENT THE CAGE TO CONTOR THE WINSHILD POSTS. TOP NOTCH.
