Former home of the gas door, and a nasty crease running 3/4 the length of the car. 2nd or 3rd mud.
factory vega trans mount. This is not going to work. trans currently sitting on a “hunk of stump”.
An engine, which came from various factories.
wrecker rad from an LS/RX7 swap. Note the 5-hole rims, on all 4.
factory monza v8 motor mounts and shorty headers, way tidier than some of the other options. Shorty water pump. It turns out that the v8 monza water pump is not just a shorty/corvette item. it features a different pitch on the vanes for higher volume. #learnedsomething

My friend has a v8 Vega. Had to quit driving it after the rear suspension started ripping from the car.

This one has lost it’s upper control arms (the one’s that rip out). it has yet to gain it’s torqe-arm and panhard bar setup, which should be good. It’s not my car, I’ve advised against it the whole way. but I am a willing participant in the project.

Started out as a “quick” and “cheap” little hot rod. It has snowballed into a monster that’s not going to run on regular gas. It’s a 355 running about 11:1, has vroomy heads, and the cam profile is BRAP!LUGGA-LUGGA-FART!-UGGA-Dugga-GRRRRR!. It’s going to be rangy and probably (definitely) dangerous. Does already have much bigger brakes though.

It’s called “scope-creep”.

Are those the same 15x8 wheels that were on 2nd gen Z28s? And when you’re done with your quarter panel I have a couple you can start on.

No they’re 14 inch pontiac rally 2. I technically own a set of those z28 rims, probably never gonna get them back though. The’re on a an 81 Iraqi Taxi that I also used to own. That quarter really should have been replaced, but I got it yanked out pretty straight.

Those Camaro wheels are getting fairly pricey. I wanted to replace the old school Centerlines on my Camaro with some but all of the ones I could find were too much for me.
