Re: Help choosing new wheels please

Thank you! I am such a noob that even just the bottom line basics are a great help. I appreciate all of your opinions, suggestions, tips etc.

I like the idea of having a bit higher tires in the rear, would I put on larger rims or a taller tire?

Re: Hello from the Canadian Kootenays

Wow thank you for all of the info and links! And yes you found me, southeast corner of BC, 10 minutes from the Idaho border. Vancouver is about 11 hours away over 5 mountain passes...so we don't make it over there too often. However Spokane is our nearest major shopping area so we make that trip ...

Re: gas tank / filler tube leakage

I love this forum! The exact same thing happened to me yesterday, filled the tank for the first time only to find that it leaks...and I suspect it is the filler hose too as the leak has already stopped and I haven't lost much fuel. Thank you once again for the wealth of info.

Re: Tag info please

Thank you! This is really interesting, as somewhere along the way the interior has been changed to black. I had suspicions, as when I was cleaning it yesterday I noticed a bit of red in places that the black paint has worn.
Thanks for the welcome :ty:

Hello from the Canadian Kootenays

Well I saw an ad for a 1965 Monza and knew I had to bring her home! I am now getting to know my new car, and it looks like this is the place for a total Corvair/Mechanical newbie to learn from the masters. I will have tonnes of questions for you guys, and some are embarrassingly basic I am afraid ...
