Mart, I have followed your thread from the time you first posted on my thread, some years ago now, like so many others. Your metal work and "can do" attitude is above and beyond 90% that read any auto forums. My convertible is finally finished, after 6 years. Yours is almost there too. And...

After reading all the advice it appears to me that his trouble lies within that yh. Although Ray rebuilt it, doesn't mean the float was not damaged in shipment! You said you have almost memorized Helt's yh book. Take the bowl cover off and make sure the float has not developed a hole and thus taking...

Thanks Shayne! We need to get together on the nest warm days. See you soon.

I have finally finished the engine compartment and the PCV issue! I could not in good conscience put a little filter on the pcv tube...

He is so busy I had to schedule an appointment in September, to get a slot in his busy schedule! I cant wait, this will be the finishing touch to the car... Unti...

Here is a picture of the steering wheel and the seat.... finally!
Here are some pictures of the IROC Wheels I had repaired. It was not expensive and the results speak for themselves.

For one I want to thank you for thinking "outside the transplant box".
Two; Keep up the good work, you are inspiring a lot of us Corvair folks.

Hi all. Since my last post in April, I have the carpet and gauge cluster back in and have it off the jack stands!
Moving a bit slow, due to some health issues and getting my 68 ironed out as well.

Thanks Russ!
I should be taking it down off the jack stands in the morning and finally driving it, with the interior mostly in (no back seat).
desperately needs tires.

Thanks for the great replies and cudos on this build. It is 5 years in the making. Two knee replacements one shoulder a couple of funerals. Life gets in the way of our hobbies! The steering wheel I found on Ebay, looking for a Grant adapter! Very cheep and free shipping. I had already purchased anot...
