Corvair Forum

Fabulous work. I love the attention to detail.

I'm definitely voting for the Corvair.

Vairy nice!

Love that car. Awesome Caddy. I obviously love my Corvairs, but I can understand why you've been distracted.

I realize it's not on topic but I don't think there's any rule against hijacking your own thread...for those of us who are full sized GM lovers, please post a pic or two of the Caddy. 1964 is the best year EVER for the Coupe DeVille. Period. I want to see it.

Bobby, you're welcome, and very nice to meet you. I'm very impressed with the work you're doing on your car. Keep it up! I think it's awesome that you're giving the car a new life and gaining a bunch of skills in the process.

You were smart to find a car that was straight and rust-free to begin with (probably easier to do in New Mexico than here in Michigan :) ) From the sounds of it, you have some prior experience with old cars...

Ted, thanks for making us a part of the story so far. I hope we will get to see the ending. I'm sure this was a tough day for you. I think you did very well by the car and I hope your work provides the foundation for something very special.

That's a really nice looking convertible. Welcome back to Corvairs and welcome to the forum!

Part 3: Carpentry for the Car. October 13, 2012 It's a cold, rainy day in mid-Michigan. There's still some color left on the trees, but wind and rain have brought down most of the leaves. Over in East Lansing, it's Homecoming weekend, and rather than joining the miserable, wet crowd in Spartan Stadi...

I was very satisfied with the work Larry Shapiro did on my heads. A little of the story and pictures here:
