      What ever happened with this car? Any specs on the finished product?

      The rule is measure twice and cut once. My problem is I still measure with a mic and cut with an axe!

      He was racing it and wound up wrecking it but for a basic LSx 5.3 swap it was pretty impressive.

      The Vega was being raced but not by Jeff. I was told the story when they were building my G-body chassis. I'll let someone else tell it, not sure if it's public knowledge.

      There was something about it in Popular Hot Rodding a few months back. Sounded like the car was no more.
      There are 2 factors in Autocross, Tires and the loose nut behind the wheel.

      It's sad. If it had been another '69 Camaro it would have been fixed by now. Unfortunately the Vega is considered a throw-away car, just as they were in the '70s.

      If there is a hard way to do something, I'll find it!
      My other car is a Vega.

      Perfect time for Jeff to pick up an EcoVette build!

      It was an Ecotec powered Chevette. It was never finished and the owner sold the motor for an EcoVega build.

      Jeff, sorry drag this up from archives, but can you tell me more about S-10 axle swap. Did you change the axle mountin brackets? Or was the mounting points on the body altered?

      Jeff, fun project. Years ago I had a SBC powered Vega and was looking around for one before I started the Falcon project. Those little cars are hard to fine in decent shape.

      The LCA's were factory brackets
      The uppers were custom brackets to make a triangulated 4 link.
