D@mn Dave! You are making me want to go work on my car. I love the picture. That looks great!
That stripe has got me thinking now...

You know, I've not cared much for the way the sidepipes look on the wagons, but I don't know if it's the ride height or what, I think those look good.

I read your thread on the build. Your builder does some top notch fabrication. Very nice.

I got the bottom of the car seam sealed today and ready to be sprayed.
I forgot and left my camara down at the shop. I'll post some updated pictures Monday.

had to stop and look at this yesterday, thanks to getting all lathered up on this vega thread.
left some cards under the wiper blades.
I found no rust on it, which I could not believe.

Wow. Wonder if that's the original Goodyears on it?
Be sure and look at the cowl area under the hood, the battery tray area and were the frame rails and toe boards meet. That looks to be a really good car.

hemicolt, with that big block, is that underbody bracing enough? Is that exactly how motion did it? If so, then sure.
I dont think a plain H pattern is strong without some 45 degree cross braces added?
