The Official H-Body Internet Community

I've been looking through this site since November of last year after I picked up a '76 Vega wagon. Lots of good tips and advice, I wish this was around 30 years ago when I had my 350 Monza.


Here are a couple of pictures of the Vega. I just had it out at the track last weekend.



It took a few runs to even remotely get it to hook on the old 185 tires, so now I have to do something about the rear end. Anyway, it's been a fun little street car.

It's just a 350 with the transdapt kit, I modified the oil pan myself. The rest of the car is pretty much stock. 6.5 rear with 2.92 gears.

Allow me to welcome you to the board. I hope you find us "Hang Worthy" This is a pretty great bunch of guys here who will do what ever we can to help each other out. Nice Pic's of your former and newest rides! Thanx for sharing Harry

Welcome!! As I always say to new joiners, a wealth of info and help available here. Great group of people here. Nice car!

Welcome! This is by far the best site for anything h-body related. Tons of knowledge and very helpful folks.
Time is scarce now but I check in periodically and look forward to seeing your progress.

Welcome to the site, great people and tons of knowledge here. Nice car!

Thanks everyone,
I'll try and take more pictures when I start on the rear end. I can't wait to see what it will do with some tires. Ive been looking around to see what is involved in getting a 275 tire to fit.

Welcome, answers a plenty here.

Someone else may chime in here, but to fit a 275 tire (which I'm assuming is 28" tall) under the body you'll need at least mini-tubs and maybe even extended wheel openings.

After looking into the 275 tire I am now looking into a 255, lol.
I added some stripes this morning.
