Yeah pine needles are very acidic. As far as the seats are concerned I would just cover them for now because they look sturdy otherwise.

Well it looks as if the one door has some body filler because it has cracked and curled out. That would tell me that the rest of the car might have some body filler too. Judging from the door it is more than just filling small imperfections. I would have to agree that for a 500 you might want to go ...

Yes, I have done it before on v8s. You have to take out the spark plug and insert the adapter that you attach the air hose to. It doesn't need a ton of pressure just needs enough to keep the valve seated. It should not matter about being at tdc because you would be backing off the rockers and the va...

Oh no Wbabst. I think the dual bushing is a great idea. I will probably use it for one of my other cars. I plan on building one that I might go all out on and I will probably do the dual bushing in it. I was just looking for ideas and I think the dual bush is a great one. I don't see any real proble...

Steve is correct. Valve guide. Do both heads.

I was reading some info from some fly corvair people and they kinda came to the same conclusion about the second bearing not being necessary. They said that they worked well for 50 years and that replacing them and making sure the shaft is good is probably one of the best things you could do. For he...

Welcome and I must say that your English is better than most. I too had an early model corvair monza spyder back in the 80's when I worked at a salvage yard. The guy who owned the yard have it to me when I fell in love with it. It ran but the passenger side door and sill were damaged. Sad to say I e...

It looks really nice. Very tasteful.

Nice. Looks like it would be a blast to drive. My high school buddies dad use to shorten Vdubs and make wheel standers out of them.
