Man, this makes me miss the '75 Vega notch that I used to own - it was a great looking car, especially after my brother & I detailed & pinstriped it, painted the wheels, etc.

It's probably a good thing that I never had the money to mod it like I wanted to...

Updates? Pics?

Actually, alot of progress... The headers are done and coated. got them back a week or so ago from jet-hot. I had my new calipers and Monte spindles powdercoated. right now its just stock front brakes and spindles ect. with drilled stock rotors..... So im upgrading my brakes a little. its actually going to have power brakes this year.

Sorry, thats jet hot's 1700 degree coating not the 1300 degree. And the calipers are extreme gloss red. and crinkle finish black on the spindles.

I have SOOO many parts laying around for this thing im begging to forget what i have.

Im also thinking of running dual 3'' into single 4'' exhaust. mainly for better clearance of the transmission crossmember and i have 5ft of 4'' SS pipe from my powerstroke diesel. lol
