speaking of "out of the box" projects........

I picked this up from a good friend Ross (hapevo). I wasn't planning on doing anything at the moment with the economy and being self-employed, but he practically gave it to me................. thanks man.

It's a 73 Vega hatchback. Originally being built as a 1/4 mile street car, it's already been mini-tubbed, has about 15" of wheelwell room. Comes with a truckload of NOS parts and body panels, Currie 9" rear with aluminum center section, Bilstein coil-overs, and torque arm (which will need re-locating). Not sure what to do up front to get a decent sized tire/wheel for a pro-touring track car, but it will need a different front clip, possibly a Chassisworks g chassis or similar.

Bought an LQ9 6 liter from a good friend with new Texas Speed CNC L92 heads, L76 intake, new rails, dbw throttle body, computer, correct rockers, etc. I'll swap the cam, should make 550 hp or so.

This is going to be a very low-dollar build, at least for me. I'll start a thread when I get to the point that progress is being made, but wanted to share what I bought. I was able to sell the Dart I had to pay for this, and I think this will be a much cooler build.
