Re: Corvair powered roadster
It had a 40 horse V dub engine when I first built it. The Corvair changed everything...... that throaty six vs. a wimpy four, a ton of torque and almost tripled the horsepower without worrying about stressing the engine. I have a small teardrop trailer I effortlessly tow with it.
Thanks for the compliments.....

Oh, that's SUPER cool! Also cool that you've actually got more storage than one would imagine. Welcome!
Re: Corvair powered roadster
thanks.... yes, there is storage under the front hood. The battery, master cylinders and small fuel tank sit in the floor wells allowing for tools, car cover and other 'stuff'. There is also a small trunk under the rear deck lid and then the luggage rack.

SWEEET! Like the way you've patterned the wood on the front end. Welcome!

Thanks, veverlove..... I started out with the strips level along the bottom and that's just how they came out on the hood.
