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

If you show a picture of the actual car someone may recognize it and help you to track some history, which could lead to the Fabricator. Rear wheel openings, suspensions and housing brackets often can be indicators to narrow your search. MB
