Hello from So Cal
Hello from So Cal
Hi there -
I'm new to the forum and working on putting my 1967 Monza 110 PG back together, as I discover surprises along the way to resurrecting her from a 13 year hiatus !
I've been a member of CorSA since 1969 when Tony and I would publish the CorSA Quarterly from his dining room table, and he did all the work by hand. Anyone who knew Tony knew what a great guy he was, and more devoted to Corvair is hard to imagine, though we try to live in his legacy !
I'm also in the Inland Empire Corvair Club, and live in Hemet, CA, about 30 miles outside Riverside.
I'm not sure how to use the forum, as I'm spoiled by just 'getting mail' from VV, and not having to go to a blog to find it, but, well, here I am !
I may be looking for a starter and a park brake cable and maybe for more odds and ends before long as I'm sure you're familiar !
Thank you for your support !
Charlie

Re: Hello from So Cal
We've got a few members with parts cars Charlie, so feel free to contact me if you are looking for something and I'll try to track it down for you.
Oh and if you see a topic you would like to keep track of, you can click on either "Notify me when a reply is posted" in the options tab underneath the text box you type in. Also before or after you reply, you can click on the "Subscribe Topic" at the bottom left of the page. This will make it so you get an email anytime that specific topic/thread is updated. (You can also be notified of entire forums and all of the topics in it, for example if you are really into V8's you can be notified anytime a reply or new thread is started in that entire section by going to it and clicking on "Subscribe Forum").
Any question on how the forum works, just ask and we'll help you get familiar with it.
also there are some helpful instructions here. viewforum.php?f=196

Hi Charlie
I live out near you and '67's are one of my favorites.

Re: Hello from So Cal
How do I post a new topic on the "forum" ?
Someone told me how but I forgot already - it's hidden in an icon somewhere I think, but I can't find it (again) !
Thanks
Charlie

Re: Hello from So Cal
Are you advertizing your availability for help on my Corvair, or do you have parts ?
I need a park brake cable, a rebuilt starter, and now it seems I may need a steering box ?
Let me know, so I can get mine running too !
Where are you ?

Re: Hello from So Cal
Thanks - I just figured out how to use this forum !
Do you have a steering box for my 67 Monza ? I see parts and arms, but no boxes ?
Nice site though ...
