Let me start off by saying that i am the third member of this site with the same car, though it is under me that the car will be near completed. First was my dad, Spare Parts, many years ago who was building the car for my grandpa. After the car was driving it sat at my uncles for several years in which that time a relative tore stuff apart and hacked wires all to hell for reasons no body knows why. End of last summer my grandpa told my cousin, 77 Vega Kammback, that if he got the car driving he could have it. I live in lower Michigan and my cousin recently moved to Florida and was unable to take the car with him. Over the next few months i will be working on the car. This summer my cousin will take a plane up here and will help finish the car. We will drive down to Florida together in the Vega and i will fly back at the end of summer. This car is being built with a low budget, under $500, so i will be doing things a little different to save money. I am building a 1980 Scottsdale over at Squarebody.com. Here is the link if you want to follow my progress with that.

My dad put a V6 Vortec, and dash from a 1995 S-10 in the car. I got a 305 and th350 for the car. Bought a wiring harness from a 1972 chevy truck i am going to try to make work and a replacement Vega GT dash for $50. Car has a 5 lug rear axle. Heres some pics of the car from last summer, though the first pic is my dads work from over 7 years ago.
