More progress on the Pro Street Vega Hatchback

Making tubs for vega hatchback

Once this Vega is finished it will be streetable. You will be able to legally drive it on the road. Take it to the local car show – or out for ice cream. But don’t fool yourself – this Vega is being built for drag racing.

Preparing to start the tubs this next week.

We are trying something different with this spoiler. The trunk opens and the spoiler doesn’t move.

You will notice no funny car cage around the driver. This makes it easier to drive on the street. As is, this car will certify NHRA 8.50.

Final cockpit mock up in progress. The big question is . . . sheet metal tunnel or no tunnel?

Little more cutting, and rear sheet metal and tubs are next.

Race Car Ready… Just Add Driver

drag racer ready to fight another day

This G-body is back together ready to fight again. The backend has been welded and braced up. Now is the time for a test pass to see how the car reacts from last season.

The solid body mounts installed will help stiffen up this chassis and reduce any body flex.

We added an 8-point chrome moly cage TIG welded to the chassis and torque box that was reinforced — not just plates attached to floor sheet metal.

Below you can clearly see the rear down bars that have been TIG welded to top of torque box, then the original floor was welded back in.

Just add driver…

Good progress this week on the 33 Coupe

metal fabricators

Just a few quick snapshots – the ’33 Coupe is on the ground and just about ready for bodywork. Not sure what color will work best on this car — perhaps a “General Lee” look with Confederate flag on the roof . . . .

This car is for sale.
