Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?

Hard to say if Eddie and Harley are fans.

Thanks! Starting to see more of them. Fits the euro theme I was shooting for. (may not be obvious, as I missed some key timing)

Sold the remaining metal as scrap for about $40 - $50.. took the interior to the land fill.
My 1st car (68 Dart) was $50 in 79.

It was quick and it shows. No bigs as I don't have to worry about the 1st blemish. Already done! LOL

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?

Have a neighbor who has a tire mount and balancer. He is willing
but working long hours for the post office. Another friend offered
and I took him up on it.
Funny I mounted 2 w/o tools. Way harder than the YouTube video
shows! Still sore!

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?

Thats a great look!

Found this pic of my Corvair, I have others but they need to be flipped and Im too lazy to overly hijack your thread right now (maybe later haha). Most likely will never do anything with it. Im down to one 67-72 truck now, just sold my panel and it feels pretty good not to have so much stuff.

Always room for hijacks! Looks solid.
