Welcome to the forum! As usual, toss up some pics when you get a chance! Sounds like you've got a nice fleet there. I think I'm getting more interested in Greenbriers.

Will try and post some selected pics ASAP
I do have several webshots albums that can be seen here:
http://community.webshots.com/user/swi66

here is a direct link to my 66 and 67 Vair:
http://rides.webshots.com/album/573418236LkKQyD

If you continue through the list of albums, I am sure you will find my 62 Rat Rod Corvair, my 63 Greenbrier, and my 65 red convertible.
Other items of interest would be the reconstruction of the Canadair motor, and the Corvair motor displays at the Buffalo Transportation museum

Original owner made that.
gas welded the two rear doors together to make the modification.
It's perfectly balanced and closes perfectly.
And no rear view obstruction.

It was a big hit at the Buffalo convention.
I actually had an article in the communique on this a couple years ago.

Every once in awhile I mess with people and BS them that it's a factory prototype, or a special option.
