And the new headliner. Pretty easy job. Just finished some interior work in the back. 6/04/06 Using marine type carpeting(with rubber backing) I cut and glued sections to the frame, sheetmetal and wheel tubs. Made up some interior panels using Vinyl and chipboard and headliner material, velcro'd in place.

We've had it actually! My Wife and I were at a small cruise yesterday and in the 2 hours there were mistaken for a PINTO 3 times.
YUCH!
This is happening way to much now and is getting annoying.
So I need your opinions on some graphics I put on.
I wanted to be subtle, but I don't think most of these morons on the street would get it.
Well..... here they are.

Well, I don't think anyone should confuse us with a pinto again.
It's quite legible even at 50 feet.



Unless they're illiterate.
I wanted to keep it simple and somewhat tastefull.
I got them in silver and they do reflect the light a bit.
It was that or maybe orange.
And if I get tired of them, they were only $34.99 total.
Let me know what ya think.


Thanks!
I'd also like to thank Bill Spangler and his bro Glenn for the frame work.
Harley Robertson and his son Harley JR for the body...

Add some sheetmetal(tin work)& tubs. Then have a very loving and supportive Wife, (I thank God for her), that buys you parts like this for Christmas. Dig the 3inch 2chamber Flowmasters! Man they are LOUD! .............Some ask "How did you get those tires to fit the body?" Here's the pic

The quaterpanels had to be cut out, sectioned, and then a filler panel welded in. After some bodywork,

and rebuilding the whole front end suspension. I drove it in this condition for a couple summers. I heard from alot of "older" car veterans that you should build it so you can drive it, no mater what it looks like, so you dont lose your enthusiasm of working on it. So FINALLY this July 04 we got all the bodywork and paint done. Epoxy primer. Fresh from the paint booth. Ready to bolt parts back on. Man! Look how the sun make this paint glow.

THEY WORK NOW. I have them at another site.Most of these videos were before the paint and power tune (so bear in mind its ugliness). I hope you enjoy!#1 Fire it up! Engine fire up time for our FrankenVega. Open headers, the neighbors must've loved it. Fire it up #2 Time for bed. After getting it to move under it's own power, I had to hear it for myself. Time for bed   #3 Around Town 2002. Taking the FrankenVega out for a cruise. I wanted to see how it sounds and looked in action. My Daughter(taping)had the windows rolled up. Around town 02.#4 Wrong track!(car show) Took the FrankenVega to a track. Wrong kind though. My Dad worked at a local roundy track and they had a cruise night.
