Thorrr 0 Posted April 30, 2011 Vega Street Machine.......Welcome to the 80'sThis was built for an online competition where the casting had to be the Hotwheels Custom V8 Vega.Like much from the 80's, it turned out to not be very popular today, scoring a 7th place out of 11 entries.I built it to represent the cars I grew up with that shaped my interest in modifies cars.... street machines from the 80's.Inspiration came from the time when "Pro Street" was just starting to become the "hot new style", so it still has the older style 5 spoke mags, side pipes and a jacked up rear end, but a new "Pro Street" style paint job and alloy paneling in the engine bay.So... what's in it???The hood was cut out and a new engine bay formed from alloy and a Maisto enging dropped ina new rear axle tube was installed to raise the backthe body was painted yellow, decals applied for the graphics and foil for the chrome trim, headlights and taillightsside pipes from a Maisto Corvetteand it all sits on a new set of sparkling 5 spoke mags with real rubber tires....and a couple of pics showing it with the original casting.Thanks for looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thorrr 0 Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments guys, glad you like the car..... even though it is really 80's retro.smadli07 wrote:great workmanship!!what camera u use??I use a Canon Powershot A650 , I had to buy it used, because the new Canon "A" series cameras don't have all the features I want (especially the fold out LCD screen) I had different brands of digital cameras before I got a Canon and discovered the fantastic picture quality, and I have only bought Canon since.
