Thanks Guys,..
its going to take a whole lot of help, its not in very pretty condition.

So anyways,..NO MORE Vics Vega,..well sorta..I started
PHASE 1 on the restoration of the 1972 Veney`s Vega the body.
today I began removing
all the decals and lexan off of it, I am about to embark on a trail that may or may not go the way I hope it does. I am about to begin removing
3 paint jobs that are on this body by hand sanding threw them all to reveal
the original paint that lies beneath it, I am told the original logos are still there, who knows how long this will take, but if I can do it right and it all survives, I will have a car with the original paint job,..Much luck needed,
and I am not getting my hopes up,..included on this task of the body is removing the added on 8 inche rear spoiler that is rivoted to the original and also glassing in the replacement piece that covers up the previous blower opening in the body. Then I will attack the tin work without having to replace it,...I will begin to post pictures when I get to the red.

In the mean time I am trying to collect ,find, and pull together
a KB stage 3 block, a set of Iron 426 heads, a bowers 8-71 blower,
that will be part of the 1976 Veney`s Vega resto for next year.

Will keep yall posted,..LOL...you know me.
