Stock spare tire rim size question:

I just took off all the old rotting 4 ply poly tires off of the rims that were on my 65 Corsa. I noticed that the spare rim was much narrower than the 4 others. See pic. Is this a stock configuration or did someone slip a non standard spare in while nobody was looking? The car was 99% stock when I d...

Re: Don Yenko Book

I ordered a copy of this book a while back and got a copy about a week ago. I am glad I did and feel that it is a great addition to the Corvair books already out there. Just finished the initial reading and think the book is fantastic! Lots of good info for the "Stinger" fans and just grea...

Re: Cal Worthington Dies - Southern California Car Dealer

He was all over the TV here in Arizona too. Seems like one day it all just stopped. Always wondered what ever happened to him. Sorry to hear of his demise. Another part of our collective memory begins to fade away, eh???... :cool:

Re: Strut Rod Rebuild: Corsa GT Project

If the steel insert is in good condition and snug around the bolt it should be fine to clean up and use again. I glass bead blasted mine last time and they were snug as new on the attachment bolt so I re-used them. Save some $. Personal opinion: Heim joints are for the racetrack only and a really ba...

Re: Corvair left in a field (pic)

Nice pics. Always liked the 'Busa but never had one, I was looking very seriously at the FJ for a while as several friends have them and think they are awsome. I started riding Moto cross on a Hodaka Super Rat in the early 70's and the rest is history. Had a 63 Spyder at the time too. That was in Au...

Re: Corvair left in a field (pic)

It's all good. I thought maybe it was one of those experimental biodegradable corvairs returning to nature before our eyes! Actually, i think it was a '63 Monza that did not look in too bad a shape with the exception of some front end damage (semi minor). Not sure it would be worth too much effort b...

Run for the wall 2013

While riding up into Colorado for some down time, we hooked up with the "Ride for the wall" run for a few miles before heading north into the mountains. Always an honor and a pleasure riding with these folks. Carry on.
