Great historical info. Impressive efficiency on GMs part. Nearly a 70% improvement in number of Vegas moved on a single car!

It would be interesting to see if cost of RPO VK5 was off set by reduced transportation costs of moving Vegas to dealers. The customer would have the option to store his Vega in his garage in an upright position to make room for other cars/stuff!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

Not Day 2, but very cool. Watch the run down the track.

Got back on the Vega today. Monday we will spray on the sealer, take one more look and it's ready for paint. Hope to lay down the orange by end of this week.

Finished up today. Will do a final polish after I get the car together. Also have a new respect for painters. It's worth every penny for a quality job. Don't know if I will ever tackle body and paint again...lol
