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.

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.

Good progress this week on the 33 Coupe

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.

How to fit 10 gallons of stuff into a 5 gallon bucket. . .

custom grill for the 33 coupe

Making everything fit into this 1933 Plymouth Coup

One of the challenges with this custom build is fitting everything into this Hot Rod and making it look good.

Custom car builds are always unique

This type of custom car build is a step-by-step process of modifying and tweaking specific areas that are unique to this car. With this 33 Coupe we don’t have a square to spare, we just cant spare a square. So the builders had to get creative with the grille shell.

This grille and grille shell are the iconic areas of this 1933 Plymouth, and it must look good. So we spent hours of fiberglass work on the grille shell. It must be durable and aesthetically pleasing. Once this is finished no one will see what is housed inside the grille shell.

The front fenders have been finalized and adapted.  The interesting thing is, I recently read an article about an American car maker elio-motors in Phoenix, Arizona that has similar front fenders on his new American made car that gets 84 MPG. Ours does not get that kind of mileage — but an added bonus with our car is  . . . if you’re at the dragway you can easily remove these front fenders so you don’t have extra weight.
