:-*Beautiful contribution. Do you think the photo of the Vega in the corner of the garage, with the Hillborne Injectors is part of this group? The Alerts rig was built a few years after injectors were outlawed on C-trucks, and even the earliest photos of this build shows a tunnel ram carb set-up, and there is a fuel tank where the radiator was on the Alert rig...? Maybe it is a sample photo for the build? It is very similar, but there are some differences. Thanks so much again for finding these pearls!

You may just be right Historian. It looks like A Vega. It just might not be THE Vega.

Who was the builder of this rig? I don't think it ever ran in a drill in blue. In 1976 the drill honoring Harry Buck, run by Westbury on a course on the south parking lot of the High School on Jericho Tpk. the Vega was Stars and Stripes. It was an unusual year as Lindenhurst was not the season opener that year. Could it have possiblly have been that the powder blue was an undercoat for the pearl white paint? These pictures are great and I enjoyed them very much!!!!!!

To bad we were not still building trucks like this today. In the era of "Orange County Choppers" and the like, it could have been a great show!
