I love the idea of going with the driving lights in the lower marker holes. AND the use of those little round markers next to the headlights. SWEET! I might steal that idea.

Well guys, not much to update here, he has dome some progress, got AC compressor in with new brackets, and alternator brackets all done, etc, but looks like he's going to have to put it under wraps again for a bit until economy swings up a bit.

In the meantime, here's an old pic for you, what a blown injected big block in a vega can do... Hard to tell in this old pic, but the marks on the street go over the hill in the horizon, past the car coming at you the other way in the pic.. We never did measure it, but it was an insanely long burnout...

Where is this car? I can't see any of the pics. Did it ever get finished? The curiosity is killing me.

Hey all! Man, it's been a while since I have been on this site.

I have been following updates on this car, it's crazy how much time goes by, but life takes everyone in different directions doesn't it?

The car is actually still being worked on, Custom dash has been completed, and car has been taken back apart this year for final body prep and paint.

New rotating assembly for the engine, and the engine is at the machine shop for a rebuild.

Stay tuned, this stuff always takes longer than you think it's going to, but should be running by next summer!
