<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dboles</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I love this thread. It brings back memories of the '72 Vega GT (Hugger Orange) that I built in '77. Same wheels and same stance. Mine had the complete engine and drive train from a '68 Z/28 that I had owned from '71 to '73. I was a poor college kid back then, everything was done on a budget. I did install orange shag carpet and used a short stick Hurst shifter intended for a mid sixties Corvette. I had to have a custom radiator built using 2 Vega side tanks that were dimpled to fit between the frame rails. I remember having to push the water pump hub back on the pump to get clearance for the fan. Then grind the front groove off of a couple of 2 groove pulleys and used a spacer on balancer to get everything to line up. Keep up the good work! Dave </div></div>

thanks,Yup,that's what it's all about,ahh the memories.................................
