Corvair Forum

Man do I want a rotisserie!!! And a way to sandblast outside my cabinet without making a huge mess and losing tons of media which costs money! I've pretty much given up on sandblasting anything that doesn't fit in my blast cabinet but man do I love the results. I put mine, rotisserie and all, on a ...

Sandblasting worked great for me. Here are some pix.

The current issue (December) of Hemmings Classic Car is all Chevrolet in commemoration of Chevrolet's 100th Anniversary. Lot's of Corvair content including this quote from the editor-in-chief's column, "If I won Powerball tomorrow, the first car I would go out and buy would be a Corvair." ...

Where in Minnesota are you located? I'm in Rochester.

I put no credibility in information from anonymous sources.

It's all about the timing of the order. As long as you can get the parts on a Thursday or Friday (in time for the weekend thrash-time) it's all good. :guitar: In my never ending restomod project, I accumulate needed parts in my shopping cart until Sunday night, then submit the order. This gives me ...

I consider oil temp to be very important . If you do install an oil temp gauge you should put the sender where it will have oil flowing over it as opposed to the oil pan . The stock idiot light sender location is what I use. Then I have an additional hole tapped and have a high pressure hose runnin...

Thanks for the input and pictures. I plan to go with the Talbot mirrors which I already have and drill my expensive paint job. (Note that I have the genuine Talbots in the 4" size -- 3-7/8" effective diameter.) The reasons for my decision: -- The Talbots look cool. -- They give essentially...

Thanks, Kevin. The genuine Talbots come in two sizes: 3" and 4". The visible portion of the mirror in the 4" size is 3-7/8". The mirror size of the stock mirrors is 4/14". This equates to about a 17% difference in area, but with the convex Talbot, it's pretty much a wash wit...

Your mirror appears to be the larger (4") version. Is it worse than the stock mirror? Also does yours have flat or convex glass?

Has anyone used Talbot mirrors on a late model Corvair? Any comments on well they worked, especially the right side mirror.

Working on my tilt column install and finishing up the gauge module below the radio (prototype shown).

I believe ChevyII / Nova seats are basically the same.

Here's the mockup of the center console that will hold the center channel speaker (which is a DIN mount):

The plastic plate is part of the Clark's stereo speaker kit (C9743). I was originally going to use the kit directly, but decided it could use some "improvement". In the end, the only thing I ended up using was the plastic piece and the foam that goes between the plate and the dash grill. I...

I'm not a stereo guru, but here are a couple of pictures of my 2-in-1 replacement for the stock front speaker. Speakers are Infinity Kappa 42.9i 4" 2-ways. I plan to install a center-channel speaker in the center console I'm building, plus two fill speakers in the back along with a powered sub-...
