Default Re: The Chevy Vega - '74 GT

Those are awesome pics. I had seen a black and white grainy photo from LordsTown loading the Vegas on railcars nose down, but not all three of these. Thanks for sharing. When I heard of the labor dispute that took place during the Vega years, and heard about how the workers would skip lunch and eat on the assembly line, it explained why we found sandwich bags stuffed under fenders that had to have been put there during assembly.
Yesterday we removed a stubborn lower control arm bolt that had been crossthreaded and rusted on with a torch and a long breaker bar. We set up our sandblasting booth and are preparing to fire up the sandblaster next week for the first time.
