I did that with a Vega back in the early 80's. Bought a, think it was a 67 Chevelle, for the motor and springs. Got the rest of the parts from a friend who stripped down a Monza, like a vega, with a V-8. I won some money doing that on the street. The Vega had 2 different color fenders on it, stock GT wheels. We had the exhast hid beside the driveshaft, then dumped out in front of the rear tires. One day a friend shook cash in front of me, so I sold.
