My new car...

I just picked up a 72 Vega a few days ago. It is
a pro-street project that somebody else didn't
finish. This is my first Vega, but I own 3 70 Chevelles
so I'm no stranger to working on old cars. Anyway,
I've been reading through all the club messages for
the last few days and have found some pretty good
info. If anybody has any comments or can help me
identify the rear end, and front rack from the pictures
I'm all ears. I'm glad I found this place, and I'm
looking forward to participating here in the future. The
pictures of the Vega are
here:

other cars:

rear end is a chevy 12 bolts
(might be a
truck or a car unit)
to tell if it`s a truck or a
car you`ll
have to look at the pinion bearings
size
or part numbers
The front rack appears to be
a pinto
or mustang II unit

Yes the rear end is a 12 bolt chevy the rack is a
pinto or mustang II rack these are extremely common
among tube chassis race cars of all makes the
difference is in lock to lock rotation the mustang rack is
more of a performance model and turns a little faster
i live in atlanta and am building 3rd time a vega
similar to yours any way i can help just ask!
