Re: Day 2 Vega
That's a very clean install of the LS engine. I would like the car better if it wasn't tubbed.

Re: Day 2 Vega
I am just now getting back on the car......needed a break after the body and paint work [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
Plus, my sons baseball has kept us all busy this summer. Ordered the axles from Strange Engineering last week and am currently blasting suspension bolts, clips, brackets, etc. and going to send them to be oxide coated.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Going to try to find time to install the axles and new drum brakes this evening.
Got the suspension and various body bolts back from oxide coating. They look great. Everything on the pedal assembly is oxide coated while the handle and attaching housing on the e-brake are painted black and semi flat cleared. The rest of the assembly is oxide coated.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Got the axles and brakes installed.
Drum brake assemblies came from Strange also. I have some packs of oil pan bolts that have Mr Gasket embossed in the bolt head. They are being used to bolt on the ET cover.

Re: Day 2 Vega
I'm going to have decal copies made of the original Strange logo for the ends of the axles.
