Different. Kinda cool. I personally like Corvairs. My dad and I used to build corvair engines for our sand rails. Grandpa built a couple mid engine V8 conversions when I was young. I just wish I learned to work metal when I was younger.
I agree. It's not my cup of tea, but for what he is wanting to do, he picked the right car.
The lines make sense. We are using on of the dual headlights and one of the dash bumps.
People that come and see it are pretty taken back about how well it is working out!
Still completely silly!!!!
Sometimes silly is good. If i get the time and space to build some of my projects I am sure some will call them silly. But thats what makes it fun. Looks like a ton of work to narrow that thing down. great work though. the lines look really good.
Please tell me the Corvair is getting a 60s style bubble roof. I think that would look so cool on it. I really want to come look at it now that I know what it is.[ROFL1][ROFL1]
Not getting a roof. Making it a true roadster. We'll cast a roadster type windshield frame for it as well.
Might be a CAE. Not an Edmunds of the 70's. Almost every sprinter was SBC by the 70's. There were a few fords as well. It is a 4-bar car so that means dirt as most pavement cars had gone coil over in the front for pavement. Beautiful work.
Our car circa 1970 (Midget) that we still have. http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...ldgroup155.jpg
Glad he brought it to you. Kev and his whole family are really good friends of mine, practically family. Take good car of her. Looks like your off to a great start. I remember when he first got this thing.Quote:
