Always room for hijacks! Looks solid.

Thanks! My goal is a "euro" look. No Chevrolet or Corvair emblems on the body just "Monza" I feel the wheels fit.

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
My own project that I started six months ago is also air-cooled. I bought a 1957 King Midget to restore. I'm well along in my restomod process and need to start up a thread here soon.

I'm having FUN as well. Your ride is looking really nice!

Nice! I'm still at a snails pace. Not much post worthy. Am currently fabbing (or fighting) a hood latch cable to take place of the old lock cylinder. For the trunk or frunk.

Love the Keystones!
Surgery went ok? 1% chance of a brain bleed. Guess who got a brain bleed? Sick from the meds, went from 11 to 2 meds. Feeling much better! No Corvair progress. Hopefully soon! Do I post scar pics?

Good to hear your on the mend. PG-13 scars are just fine.

Back to working out (at a local gym) also making small progress on the car. Got to scuff and paint the edges where the headliner meets the inner roof (edge)

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
Flip for you on the headliner, looks like it was very nicely done. Im curious about the picture that looks like the engine is bolted or will bolt to a bracket that you can mount to a bench somehow? Can you tell me more about it and maybe a better pic. I rotated it around several times but wasn't quite getting it.

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
Weird.
Looking back it probably would be better if I used round instead of square
but I didn't think I would use it other than 180 degrees?
