Vega Updates.

[ONEBADMK8]

Started to dig into it tonight.

Got one seat cleaned with tanners and one side of the carpet shampooed and vacuumed.

Started on the rims too, man they came out like a mirror. The back drivers side shown isn't done yet. I went over them with Mothers soaked 1000 grit sandpaper then Mothers on the Powerball for HOURS!!!

I am beyond happy with this time capsule, it will be a ripper this Summer from the PAST! lol. What a GREAT find. Im stoked, lol.

​

I also will be covering the "Footloose" paint on the 1/4's with air release vinyl so it will remain perfect underneath so it will stay original. I cannot drive around with that on there, LOL. So heres a few ideas I came up with so far for a new name for the Vega. I wanted to keep that feel of the 70's and make it something that will work with the paint scheme too. Anyone else have any good name ideas? Check it out.

That last nightmare photoshop looks pretty good

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Yeah I was diggin' that name too.

I like Nightmare, but Footloose is catchy too. Since rear wheels are probably going to be spinning. Nice Toy ya got there. Does look a bit light in the front though

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Yeah. Im putting a 383 stroker I had laying around in it. Maybe in the next few weeks or so.

LOL "Footloose" is GHEY as helll lmao.

The wierd part is this car was painted and done in 76, many years before the movie came out but its almost the EXACT same font? Strange.

SJ Hustler would be cool (South Jersey Hustler) but Rusty? LMAO Not this Vega, there isn't a MM of rust anywhere on this car, thank God.

I think that would be a great idea for all of us east coasters who do not want to drive to Wisconsin.

Well It should stay original I think. But it is awesome regardless. If you need a bottom half I have a ZZ4 block with the rotating assembly in it 10-5-1 silicone aluminum pistons, powdered rods [500hp limit on'em their weak] and a forged crank. 500$ or a hood if you're ever interested. Or a chip or a,,,,,,,,,,,,,you get the point.
