Re: Day 2 Vega
The drag link rubs in the stock location. The idler and pitman arm have to be heated and pulled down to gain the proper clearence.

Re: Day 2 Vega
I had a couple of V8 Vegas, both panels, but have almost no photos of them. The second one I built as if GM would have built it, with a mild small block, TH350, and a Monza Posi rear end. I swapped in a complete GT dash and harness, 79 Z28 buckets, and used the GT wheels with the biggest tires I could fit.
These are the only photos I have, when it was partially finished. This was about 1986, and I was doing the Malibu at the same time.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Wow! If I had that car today, I would drive it as is. I love the faded paint. Is there lettering on the hatch or flaking paint?

Re: Day 2 Vega
It was a locksmiths car, only 40,000 miles on it. I remember the company too, Chubb, Mosler and Taylor. The fenders were rotten, the engine burned 2 quarts of oil on the way home, but it was solid apart from that. Wish I still had it!

Re: Day 2 Vega
Wow.Look how far the shifter is to the dash on the one in the top picture.
I wonder if this one is considered Day 3?

Re: Day 2 Vega
I was asked about heating and bending the pitman and idler arm. Here is how Motion did it. I hope the page is large enough.
