What chassis builder did work like this. Well done work that had to be from a chassis shop. Looks like originally had a big block. Could it have been a Pro Stock. Car came from the mid west

No pic's?

No one? From what I have found and pictures of the Grumpys Toy X. It looks like it could have been an SRD car. Who can verify that? Or who can I contact. IT IS NOT A GRUMP CAR. The front suspension was painted white. The car had been whit and then a medium solid blue. the rear is a factory mopar Dana 60 with sunbber holes cas in the top. The rear was modified with a ladder bar and a well built wish bone. The rear was painted red.

Could also be a Don Ness car.

The trim tag says it's a 1973. Updated to 1977

When did Jerry Hass start building car may be one of his first ones.

Looks a lot like the ones that Wolverine Chassis in Michigan (Tom Smith) did.

You could google "vega race car " , go to images and scroll them all to see if you might catch a picture of a possible answer. Never know what you might find.
Just a thought!

Also Google some H-body forums and post up a picture or two of the car. More eyes that see it are more eyes for answers. An outside photo on here would be a great start.

I have Googled images. I stripped the paint off the trim tag and it is a 1973 body in white. It is hard to load pictures on this site. All I have are taken with my phone. The front suspension looks similar to pictures I found of Ronnie Manchesters. Car
