Hey everybody - New project - I am looking for a set of NEW (only) 1966 or 1967 Monza / Corsa front door panels. I'm also looking for new or GOOD used rear "door" panels, the ones on either side of the rear seat of a coupe. Need the rear ones much more - as I have a usable set of Fronts. Y...

Clarks Repros of the factory mats are top notch in my book. The 'nubs' on the back are a little more aggressive than the NOS mats I also have, but they hold the carpeting better. I cant believe how many beautifully redone cars I've seen - with thousands of dollars spent to make them look top notch, ...

If someone wasnt going to Helen....where do you live?

I've used several of the Autozone alternators lately, it seems. All have worked just fine.

None had the right fan - but easy to swap the one off of my core.

Roger Ringlestetter lives in Sun Prairie - is he headed to the convention?

I'm in DeWitt, IA, a couple hours from Sun Prairie, but my wife works in Platteville, WI (an hour closer), maybe the wheels can find me, and I can get to them to the convention?

Let's see a pic of the body tag. Are you certain it has not been swapped?

For reference, take a look at the fan belt dance (especially during shifts) in this video found on youtube. :eek: . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRhgpvVovA Its my video. Thats my 66 autocross car, 95hp, Powerglide, in low gear for a short autocross (I never autocross in Drive). It was running o...

There's a guy on Facebook that just did the "van to truck" conversion.

He calls it a Vanpy...Van plus Rampy, I guess? I think his name is Doc Welder, or something along those lines.

I'll have to see what I have. I need a set for my current Corsa, but I have purchased several NOS / old repro wedding band brake and back-up lights in the past.

There is a current Walker muffler- I think for a K-car that fits on the stock pipe. Sounds good, though the tail pipe is now welded on from Walker, and doesn't look 'right' to me- but it works.

I replaced a GM one with the walker one- and it's a tad louder.

Looks like it is a 140 (or 140 heads) with a center mount 4 barrel carb. What's the frame look like? Any pictures of that? Homemade frame connecting Corvair front and rear, if done well, would be OK. I'd prefer a factory made (Warshawski, JC Whitney, Turchan, ATV Industries). $8k may be a little hig...

I like the rear bumper- very tight to the motor, and doesn't look out of place like so many others.

Manx Style, but not a Manx. Hood looks like a Spatz hood.

They are hard to find! They only came on factory 2 tone cars.

I have a set on my car, luckily very nice ones.


There was one for sale at the Branson Convention- maybe someone on here knows who had it...

There were lots of variations on the Solar cars.

My Uncles documented Solar does not have a wooden dash panel, but does have the camaro lights, sprint vent top, and a bunch of other things.

There was at least one car that had single headlights, one on each side.

Where in Iowa? I'm in DeWitt.
