I finaly fired up the engine in the vega today. After letting the cam break in I did a little fine tuning.
It runs real good no leaks and sounds healthy too.Now I need to have a drive shaft made.

Excellent!
Any one can restore a car but, it takes a real man to cut one up.

Let me know how the heim trailing arms feel. I'm using the same thing except with the torque arm. I've got high hopes. Thanks Robert.

I Bought a Oil relocator so my headers don't get oil on em when I change the oil. I didn't buy it as a kit the pieces were purchased separately
That way I got what I wanted.

I started to remove the undercoating so I can clean and paint.I also have a little more welding to do on the frame connectors.
Its a lot easier working underneath with the car up so high.The driveshaft is only a mockup for the one Im having made.
The trans and driveshaft will be removed for work being done.Pics of the cleaned area to follow.
