Default My Supercar

I'm going to attempt posting a mostly pictorial build of one of my projects. Bear with me as I try and tell the story as it goes along. I've been working on it for about 3yrs. & it is getting closer to being finished.

It started out life as a '74 Vega GT. When I purchased the car it had seen a life of drag racing for many years and several owners.
My idea was to bring it back to the mid-70's as a full on Pro-Stock race car reminicent of something you might see at a local track in the day.
The only additions would be modernizing some of the drive train and updating the safety systems. But for the most part I want it to look somewhat period correct even though there are things about it that are very current.
So please keep that in mind as you view/read and critique.
It has been fun and helps me to understand the trials, all of you Supercar owners go through in completing and restoring your vehicles.

More prior to disassembly. You can see the &quot;quality&quot; of the work, and it had a current Chassis Certificate with this &quot;quality&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]
