Post by davemotohead »

Well here is a sad story for me and one of my Corvair buddies, the guy who makes the engine cradles for me, Help build my trailer rotisserie, sand blasts my cars. welds my roll cages and powder coats my parts lost his entire shop full of equipment and his Prize 65 Corsa to a giant fire that destroyed everything, He was struggling with bills and had no insurance on the shop at the moment, he just landed a big Job to save his home and property and now has no shop to do the work, Him and his wife are good friends of mine and very decent people, We just built a new engine for his car, everything including the car are gone, I had 2 cars there that survived with only melted tail lights, His daughter set up a Go fund me page, help a fellow Corvair guy if you can, Thank you. https://www.gofundme.com/help-luree-and-mike

Talked to Charley and several investigators are leaning toward the solar power system mounted on the garage roof.

Charley is a single guy with no local family. Only family in eastern states.

Thanks

Tell Charlie to get in touch with me if he wants to talk about starting over from nothing.

Might have some things for him to start putting together his Corvair collection and business.
