My "good" Vega body was from Arizona - what a treat! I had a decent Michigan body before that but it still had rust coming in and that was in 1980 or so.
The last of the " at home" rust repair has been completed...The rest (minor) will be done by the body shop.... Just have to figure out engine and transmission position/mounts and then it will be ready to go. Also have to figure out some sort of torque arm mount..but that isn't paint sensitive and could wait.

thanks for the comparison shot! makes for a compelling argument, but have to look into a slip joint for installation....
I get about an inch when I collapse the Pot joint.. and the way the Borgeson U joint is designed I also get an inch by sliding both shafts all the way to the cross-pin ( 1/2" each).. In operation you cannot have the shaft extending beyond its collar or else it will interfere with the joint operation.. But should give me enough to install the shaft to the column when fully collapased and then Ill just adjust and tighten after.

That might look good in there.. To sttart with I am going to use a GM Sport wheel like what was in the Vega GT and Cosworth..
But with one little touch... I found out the horn cap from a T-1000 Pontiac (chevette) fits perfect on it.. Just another little weird thing Ill put in to see if anyone notices.
