nice find.I used to have one of those,in the panel version

[SLICK VIC]

Hi guys puter been down, and had it overhauled,..

Thanks...the interiour is supr nice for being 36 years old, it shows 45,482
miles on the odometer, and from what Ive been told this little piles only ran for like 30-40,000 miles,..could it only be 45k or 145k on the odometer,..its pretty damn clean car,...I did find one or two small areas on the lft r qaurter with a smidge of bondo so I guess it has been dented.
The cool deal is that it is a GT, fairly hard to find nowadays.
I will be painting it red and installing the panels, as in Panel express,.
.I have found the indy 13 inch slotted mags for it
6x13 and 10x13 but cant find any tire selection for the 13 inch,..so I will most likly be installing chevy S-10 5 lug front spindles and disc`s and the
s-10 rear axles so I can run 14` all around with a huge tire selection.
I got the car to start up yesterday, and it Puuuuurrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssss
I need to drop the tank and flush it out, clean the lines etc,....
what ya think 205/60/14`s on the front and 235/60/14`s on the rear.
Blood red panel express lives again.

keep ya posted

Vic,I had wheels made for the rear.A 14x8" wheel with a Vega 4 bolt center put in.It needed to be shimed,but worked great.I had G 50 14 tires on it.

Holy cow,..is this thing on,..one night appearence,..

Thanks Boyd im going with some 14s....\


I am repainting the Vega back to Veneys Vega as it should be...







Last time out with the Vics Vega logos and blue,..2008 CHHR







Before pic decals all gone,...




So ,......theres no turning back now,..The weather was good enough to
open the shop up for the first time this year and I went at it,..me and my
son Riley were able to remove the excessive rear spoiler to reveal the original,..I was hoping it was red,..nothin doing,..apon removing the extra fiberglass to the spoiler the paint,.I mean all 5 layers came off in chunks
very nicely with no effort,..pics show about 30 minutes time of lifting the paint with a spatual and or razor blade. The pile of chips not including the big long piece weighs 2.5 lbs,..thats just the deck lid,.I figure once I have the body off I should have the car completely down to the primer.


Sanded away at the rivots front and back of spoiler




Spoiler comes off and I picked up 8 more MPH,......



The original rear spoiler still all intact,...




Riley and I begin the paint stripping removal,..and the pile of weight paint chips




Waiting till next time to open shop again.
