Default Re: 1972 Vega Panel Express

Whitetop,

The car is not a GT, just badge as one. The badging is also in the wrong spot. So the dash is correct for the car. I also have the proper amber front signal light lense in the car now. Thanks for the heads up though.

The wife has indicated the interior will not be changed, but it can be freshened up. I will see what I can come up with for a proper dye match for the front buckets.

Thanks again for your input.

Well, as Joel use to do when building BB Vegas, we have bent down the pitman arm and got our clearance from the bottom of the oil pan and the car now steers. The car was fired yesterday and sounds great. What we did was when the Nova had the exhaust taken off, we modified it to fit in the vega, electric cut outs and all. So it has 2 1/2" in place. Sound pretty good. Drove the car home last night to discover it had a bad tranny leak from the kick down cable, but have since fixed that today. Went for another test drive this afternoon, and other then a minor leak from the tranny pan where the shifter cable is, and a small one by the remote oil filter, it pretty darn good. Hope to get it to the alignment shop tomorrow so it steers a bit better. I will get some pictures and a video up in the next few days of our progress. Just the smallest tweak of the throttle in 1st or 2nd gear and its going side ways...... what a rush.
