A local guy here builds race cars and had the patterns for a vega so i had him bend up the tubes and i built it ,it had got into the high 9's so it needed more cage anyway then I got carried away and went turbo /injected it will still be a street strip car .it is the car on youtube,more pics to come

LIKE THE HATCH MOD.
I would guess that will strengthen it up a bit as well. Kinda like a notchback. Is it gonna be lift off lid?


You should pull a mold off that spoiler and lay some up. I for one would be interested.

I have a common plastic one that I am not thrilled about.

A little cleaner than the Camaro versions ive seen modified and used.
Sure was nice before u started re hab. Stepp n it up a notch, or 2, for sure.
Nice :th:

Thanks guy's for all the positive feedback , I am very limited for time anymore with regards to making spoilers but if you do body work as well you could make one yourself for about 60 bucks in materials and a day's work . the picture of the first version was 10 years ago when I decided to step it up it was ready for a going over I am hoping to paint it in a day or so. cheers Alex
