Re: Corvair Lakewood - NL - Europe
first work on the body is done, we discovered that we had a different front, a 1960 front (dammm)
But no problems, we use the bottem of the this front en the upper of the old front and we have a new lakewood front
so little bit more time to fix it but it will be done = )
stay tuned Thanks Ralf

That is a great upgrade, sandblaster cabinet is super cool.
You will be ready when it comes back from the body shop.
