Finally!!!!

Postby 1100kaw2 » Fri Sep 23, 2016 9:12 am

I thought I would share with the H body bunch. Been bout 5 years to this point.
Just missed going LS Fest with Tinker by a couple weeks. But I'm basically finished. Lots of little shit to do, and some detailing still, but for the most part. Done.
I drove Vega to work today, and hitting the local cruise in tonite.
I apologize for not taking the time to update my Project journal lately. I will try to catch it up soon.
Thanks to Forum, everything from knowledge, support, parts and inspiration and more.

Well Darrel that is a pretty successful looking build! I hope you get much enjoyment from it, and don't do what many do, finish it and desert us, keep yourself in the fold, you are a valuable member here, and those with finished cars have as much if not more to offer as those as those who seem to just work on them [seemingly endlessly].

Wow, really gorgeous, it came out beautiful. I had wondered what that style scoop might look like, looks great. Is that hood all glass?
