Guys, I got it running today even with the ratty old carbs that have sat for 25 years. Afterwards I took everything apart to clean. What I found was severely damaged aluminum from mouse excrement. The cylinders cleaned up well, but there is no cutting through the aluminum oxidation. I soaked it down...

Thanks guys! Yeah the only local upholstery shop tends to take you over the coals. I had a recover done on a cb550 (nothing special) and it was like 225$.

I know the covers are available, but what do you guys do for the cushions. I have half a cushion on my front seat and nothing on the back. The cotton(?) and tan fiber have been eaten or stolen by rodents. I was going to cover them myself, but I see clerks only has ass pads for the buckets. Sent from...

I found pictures of my grandfathers car. I wish I knew who had it now. Just to know its in good hands. He left the car jacked up and was brought to the hospital.

Hi and welcome, that is a very rare Corvair, it is the only one I have seen with the optional Duct-Tape Trim. :rolling: Seriously though I like the sedans a lot, something about that roofline. Good luck with your new old car. Lol indeed. Honestly the only rust that worries me is a big hole under th...

I've been creeping for a while, but on Saturday I finally purchased a 1961 (not a Monza) 700 sedan. I'm a mechanic by trade, with a background in custom exhaust and welding so hopefully I can get this bad boy driving. The rust isn't terrible and I may even leave some of it. Floors are solid enough, ...
