Did you retain the manual choke?? It needs SOMETHING to make it stand out in a crowd as a 1961 Corvair, don't you think?

:rolling:

Seriously though, would it be possible to have you post some pictures of the final engine compartment layout and more interior details? It is already just about the best-looking 1961 Corvair I've ever seen, and shows tremendous imagination and creativity. I would just like to see the inside!
:dontknow:

Congratulations! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

:clap: A work in progress, but every aspect that has been completed is something of a masterpiece. Your plans for finishing the interior and the rest sound to be just as innovative and unique as the rest of the car. Thank you for the pictures and update, and I know we all look forward to seeing the outcome as you complete each aspect of this car.
:not worthy:

You are a true Corvartist! :tongue:

:tu: :runwoohoo: Congratulations!! :thumbsupwink: :drinkinbuddy: :funnypost:

It looks like a Muscle Car and would probably be considered to be in that category — even if it did not have an engine! ::-):

That car is probably the hottest looking EM Corvair I've ever seen!
