Corvair Sprint Road Racer Car Build

Post by California Racer »

Found something fun to do with our Corvair drivetrain( Which we have not gotten yet).

Tube frame with engine/trans in it's original configuration/orientation.

Road racing suspension, wheels and tires.

Sprint car sheet metal 'body'. Sheetmetal enclosing cockpit(flying gravel protection).

Figured it is one way to find out how Corvair handles.

I suspect it will drive into corners and want to go straight.

Then have to deal with weight hanging off back of transmission/differential.

Enthusiastic about project!

Here's frame close to what we're thinking of.

Being cheapskates we will just use Corvair front end.

Thank you Clarks for putting that little blurb about it on your website!

That put us miles ahead!
