Corvair Forum

I bought the cardboard panels from clarks. I then covered them with vinyl fabric i bought at hobby lobby with 3m spray glue. trimmed the edges with windlace. used some self sticking chrome trim from auto zone and some old badging for decoration. I then glued magnets on the inside of the panel around ...

I think they look fine. Don"t sweat the small stuff.Glad to see you back on your project. Hope you get it on the road soon!

I love garage art. I posted about the subject a while back. I was hoping more people would respond an show off their talents and creativity.

So now we are going to mine the sea floor to dig up all those poisonous minerals to make the batteries. how is that eco-friendly? Kill the ocean and you kill the planet. Making batteries lighter with more energy is like trying to put the amount of explosive energy in a stick of dynamite into a ...

What ever method you use, fasten a chain around the spring and control arm for added safety. Keep your head out of the wheel well when releasing tension!

2LZ, nice bikes you have there. Mr. Bill looks just like me after I finished my 62 coupe.Those are the exact same parts I had left over when i was done. I still don"t know where they go. The only difference is I had a lot more bottle caps! I hope this thread keeps going, I love seeing other peoples ...

Thank you all for the kind comments. Mr.Motohead, that 65 sign would be hanging in my house. I like the AC service and general gas signs. They will be going on my to do list. AZDave. Those cutaways are impressive. I like how you even have them lighted. I always thought about doing something similar ...

The long cold Wisconsin winters are tough, so I have been holed up in my basement reproducing old advertising signs with things I find at the local thrift shops. I use old dartboards,clocks,or anything i can find. I draw the design out and then hand paint them like a paint by numbers. My goal was to ...

That pioneer supertuner you have under the dash is awesome! Even if it doesn't work, I would keep it just for the look.

Mr. motohead, I have not watched the video yet, but that guy looks like Jim Carey to me.

I bought the t4 rotella and will use it in the corvairs. The other two cars have catalytic converters, so i will just use the cheapest oil of the right viscosity in those. Mr 69monza, I know todays oils are far superior and do not break down as fast as years ago but it is the oil filters i worry ...

I know. I know. another oil question but here is the situation. My local home improvement store has shell rotella diesal 10w30 for $2.80 a quart. I have 4 cars that use 10w30. Two corvairs, a 1986 cavalier with a 2.8 v6 and a 2008 chrysler sebring with a 3.5v6. The corvairs and cavalier never get ...

All I can say is WOW! Those are some great looking cars. I love the color of the 65 and how clean the engine bays are. That company should of paid you for the privilege to look at them. I hope you get them on the road and enjoy them and not let them sit like the former owner. Keep us posted.

It's almost 50 degrees here in WI, and I could not resist taking the corvair for the one last drive of the year. It starts good, runs good, stops good. There are a few things that need tweaking, but nothing major. I'm looking forward to taking it to the car shows next summer. In no way is it a ...

I found a set a few weeks ago. Check out my post on aftermarket headrests. pm me if your interested.

I found these in my parts stash. Can anyone tell me what they are? Thanks
