[M W Elky]

I guess Bruce got tired of the constant threat of fires and the rising cost of a fuel car , and switched to pro stock.

big block parts : old pro nova

slicks : old pro nova 

wheels : double dragster 

decals : Jim heller from his eBay store 

roll bar made from 0.80 rod

the hood scoop: MPC’s Grumpy’s toy

traction bars : AMT’s 1966 Nova

For the 72 Vega : MPC’S Grumpy’s toy kit

parts box small block 

front & back wheels: both are resin cast that were on a eBay store 

decals : chuck boener 

For the 74 Vega : MPC’S Bruce Larson kit

parts Box small block

two sets of kit decals for some stupid reason round 2 didn’t print the red & blue rocker panel decals.

Mike, your triple build is really nice..I'm a Pro Stock guy..I really like the Vegas. You got me thinking, I need to get mine built before I find something else to do..Question, on the 72 where did you get the front rims from? I like them alot.

It’s been awhile since I built that one actually it was the first one I built from that kit right when it got reissued . So if memory serves me correctly they were from one of two places earlier competition resin available through slixx or go to eBay and look up the seller foward_resin. I really like this Vega kit a lot they check all the box’s they are fun easy to build look great on the shelf, and there relatively inexpensive. Also there’s been plenty of aftermarket decals made for them .l currently have 12 completed ,and have decals for 2 more after that. I guess It’s time to order more kits. Thanks Mike

As always, excellent work my friend.  I don't mean to impose on your thread, but I had to share this relic from my collection with you.
