Day 2 Vega
"Four speed" ask me to post some pictures of my Vega project. Even though I'm doing some repop Motion parts, I'll call it a Day 2 build.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Nice. Is that Vega all metal?!! Never saw one that clean, not even in the 70's... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

Re: Day 2 Vega
Thank you. Yes, it's all metal. I had the car shipped to me from San Jose. There was a couple of small areas around the windshield and an area under the right side glass.
I figured out a long time ago that it's better to pay out the nose for grandmas car than it is to fix rust. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: x Baldwin Motion</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nice.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Thank you.
I have two nos Ram Rod boots. One will get trimmed down a little. I'll post a picture of another Vega that has the same boot modification. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: four speed</div><div class="ubbcode-body">nice work! what shift boot do you plan on using? </div></div>

Re: Day 2 Vega
This looks a lot like the RR I have in my 65. I think it is the earliest design. I noticed the Tee for the up and down gate is silver. Was the an improvment you made to a metal handle?
My RR has a Hurst Tee with the word Hurst in a sparkle sticker. I took it off and stashed it away. Did this one have something similar on it originally? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Chandler</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thank you.
