'71 Vega w/ Rotary engine project!!

This is an ongoing project I have going right now. It's from an old MPC Vega. Started originally w/ the idea of installing a Ross Gibson engine and found out that it was just out of scale. Decided to go w/ a Grand National engine as my next choice but the oil pan was just too close to the ground since I want this thing in the weeds. Finally, stuck w/ the Rotary engine and so far it's going great.

I will post a few pictures and at the end the link to the whole build!!
