OK, now that I am getting into actually working on this one, the questions are starting. Thanks in advance for any help.

1. I am using the DT-01 tires from J&S. Woudl these be GoodYears, or Hooziers?

2. On the Rat Trap, how would the fuel line come out of the cell and run up to the carb? i.e., does it come out the top and go thru the driver's compartment, or run under the sheetmetal and along the frame?

3. Do these cars use coil over shocks, or just springs?

4. Would it have a screen or something else in front of the driver?

These are all I have for now. Thanks again.

Ok lets see
#1-tires- alot of tracks had a tire rule Hoosier probley best
#2-Fuel line-seen it both ways if run inside car needs to go thru a pipe.Pickup tube at fuel cell would come out at top of cell.
#3-Suspenion-older cars just shocks and springs later they went to coil overs
#4-Screen
Hope this will help you Dave

OK, got a few more questions.

1. If I wanted to convert the Vega to electric fuel pump, where should it mount?

2. Is the master cylinder on these one or two valve?

3. I am debating on running brake lines, a first for me. Does anyone know where I could get some pics of how the lines would run on these cars?

Thanks for your help.
