Precaution: Don't buy from Corvair Underground. Lon Wall has a history of taking your money then never sending the parts. Just do a google search. Lon has come on here to defend himself but I've heard horror stories from too many well loved and respected Corvair community members.

I will say however that the other guy at Corvair Underground is a very nice guy... for some reason his name won't come to me at the moment.

As for the rest, what books do you have that you will be using as a guide to follow?
