I've noticed this as well. Something about marching to the beat of our own drum or something. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 8 years ago pro-vair Spectre Wrote:

There's a nicer complete driver (Maroon in color) inside his shed that's supposedly in fantasic condition. But he's selling both parts cars for whatever he can get. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 8 years ago pro-vair Timothy Shortle Wrote:

I know, right? In this day and age? My CHILD has a better camera than that! And her business is selling cars and posting these types of videos, where resolution matters most! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 years ago pro-vair Thanks for the edit sir.
here's a link to the relevent spot in the vid.
What a find. How could this have sat for this long and no one knew about it? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 years ago pro-vair The only time i've ever had one of those, was when the engine and trans were on the stand! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 years ago pro-vair skip to 6:03 to see what I'm talking about. Could you imagine what they've found there? looks like theres 3 "new" early corvairs there. One with only seventeen miles on it. That's gotta be one of the lowest mileage Corvairs in existance. Is it not? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 years ago pro-vair www.imgur.com or imageshack.us are what you are looking for Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 years ago pro-vair Congrats Kevin! prepare for a thousand emails.

/My Son plays for the A's. So I dig your facebook avatar! lol Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Hey guys, If you have a facebook account, I could really use your help. My nephew has a chance to get into a baseball camp with the marysville gold sox over the summer. All you need to do is head over to the gold sox's page and like a post there.
look for the post by Danny n Lesley Langlois, and "like" their post.
I really want him to get to go, he's an awesome ki Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Nope. the 93 camaro ones used custom adapters that my brother made from scratch. The reason for the use of those parts was the availability of them. We had them laying around. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Indeed. I've done it too. It won't peel, is incredibly durable and looks neato too.
My valve covers, oil pan and shrouding all is wrinkle painted. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Head over to geocaching.com (groundspeak.org) and plug in your address in the "find a cache" thingie. You'll see all the caches near you. Click them, and you'll be lead to a page with a description of the hide, a clue, and other details you'll need to find it.
Some can be found without a GPS device, just a knowledge of the area and likely hiding spots do the tric Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair The wife and I have a about 100 finds. And a few good hides around the Sacramento area. It's fun, cheap and you will get to see things you'd never have thought to look at. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair This should sum it up nicely. You just weld a flat piece of metal in the cutout when you are done with the hiem joint mod.
And how do you deal with shocks that get in your way? Move them.
of course this is just test fitting, there's a solid spacer in there now for strength. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Sadly as someone who's looked into this at length, the answer is "it depends"
It depends on weather the car is lowered, and the tire section width also. the lower the car gets the more factors come into play as to what will hit and where. The most obvious problem most guys see when looking at wider wheels is interference with the shock. Most guys also worry that the spring wi Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair More pictures you say? I have lots of them.

They were off of a honda cbr. They are after market ones, I forget the brand. There is a brand plate on them. It wasn't difficult to adapt them. The manifolds ar Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Danthesignman Wrote:

They are Coy's C-5s 17x8 with 4.75 inches of backspacing.
250 dollars a wheel. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair I really hope you love it. I'm really looking forward to your reaction. We already miss the car. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair afvair Wrote:

They're 17x8s front and rear. They have 205s on them, but 225s will fit easy on the rear. They're my old rims and tires off of the car in my signature.

Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair I think its 73 corvette sunburst yellow. It's impossible to photograph, believe me I tried. He tweaked a few things since those photos were taken, got rid of the rust on the front disks, fiddled with some of the minor details to make it as perfect as he could, and then sold it. But those are the "pretty" photos. He tells me it was hard to watch the guy load it up. It should be Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair Yep, the correct answer is "what looks best to you." I've seen Torque thrusts, Boss wheels, Wheel Vintiques, etc on vairs, Bmw wheels, Hart Racing wheels, Minilites, and more. Rally wheels, Vette wheels, Iroc wheels, You name it.
It all boils down to what your eye likes. For me I wanted something that screamed "racey" and went with that. Some want "nostalgia Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago pro-vair your not seeing it. The secondary system is progressive. It's the newest system from Clarks on there.
