Those were fun cars, they were so light you didn't need much of a V-8 to be impressive let alone a built one.  I drove a Cogsworth Vega from NW Indiana to L.A. California, had a blast except it was over 4th of July in a Black car with no AC through death valley...

Very cool. Looks like you did a great job. Love all the family effort that went into it. Like the color choice too.
