![]() Corvair Center Results 1 - 30 of 895 Yesterday scottymac Don,
I finally unearthed my parts. Let me know if you've resolved your situation, or if you still need help. Also, what is the date of your show? This is the kind of work my plater does. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 3 days ago scottymac My '66 Monza was bought from a junkyard, and rebuilt using E-3 pay in the late Seventies ($450 a month?) and the side pay I made working in the base auto hobby shop. At the time my engine was assembled with a '65 110hp case and 140hp heads.
Forty years later, I have a little more disposable income, (though much less after the divorce) so I want the next build to reflect a genuine 140hp Forum: Corvair Center Forum 3 days ago scottymac Don,
Please post a picture of the part of your mirror you're unhappy about, and I'll see if I can improve your situation. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 days ago scottymac Thanks for your responses, others beware! I'm going 15" or bigger, so no problem here. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 days ago scottymac Too often, I overlook something obvious, and end up looking like an idiot. What am I missing on this? Has anyone else tried ordering these? My order said back ordered, expected delivery around the end of May. Cardone is a well known brake component supplier, has anyone found them cheaper elsewhere? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 days ago scottymac Photo was taken in August 2017, driver's parade for the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. Grosjean is French (mother) - Swiss (father), so appropriate he's likely riding in a Swiss assembled Corvair. Switched from Formula 1 to Indy car, driving for Michael Andretti's team.
Since only 33 cars are registered for the Indy 500, you can watch Grosjean earn his starting p Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 days ago scottymac Think this is what U.S.T. had in mind?
Seems early Sixties Brit cars used the wing mirrors, too.
If you choose a Brit set, check postage costs before you commit. You could try Yogi's they have about 10 pages of mirrors. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 15 days ago scottymac Wasn't familiar with Begovich or Audrain. Short intro - Forum: Corvair Center Forum 15 days ago scottymac American Mel Wrote:

It resembles the back of an EM.
When you get to the last photo, Mel, it's marked +251 (number changes with every auction), click on the plus. Doesn't matter, because you nailed it. Pics 118 and 124 show the Corvair parts clearly. (Once you click on one photo, their numbers will be in the upper right.) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 15 days ago scottymac Thanks for your photos, Dave. Did you happen to inquire about the rack and pinion unit used? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 15 days ago scottymac I had to give up and hit the + button to see the build photos, then they stood out like a sore thumb. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 16 days ago scottymac I like the way the instrument binnacle in the center dash has been expanded, may copy that myself. Finally solves the problem how to fit a modern radio. The rear of the car looks like it's been extended, that ruins the looks for me. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 21 days ago scottymac You're all probably sick of my ads looking for a RZ engine or case. I've kind of located two, one in North Carolina and another in Virginia, but neither owner is prepared to sell at this time. I'm hoping with the auction in May in Apache Junction Az., one may turn up. I called Corvair Corral probably a year ago, but never got a return call, so hoping against hope one may turn up Forum: Corvair Center Forum 21 days ago scottymac This recent For Sale ad on a Fitch Sprint with Garvin styling parts has me rethinking using the wheel spats and front spoiler on my car. Too much of an Eighties look? Maybe it's the lurid yellow paint on the coupe that's swaying me, the pictures of the silver convertible (taken at the 2020 NE PA. show) seem pretty classy looking.
What are your thoughts on the Garvin pieces? I& Forum: Corvair Center Forum 22 days ago scottymac What are members' opinions on Garvin pieces these days? I have a set of the spats (behind tires), and recently bought the front spoiler, after it languished on the sellers post for quite a while. Too much of an Eighties' look? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 22 days ago scottymac Some beautiful vehicles, for sure, but the one that tickled me was Michael's red and black FC, with the '47 Chebbie hub caps. Nice touch! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 23 days ago scottymac Found about 30 miles from my old hometown. Facetrash link deleted. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 23 days ago scottymac I have some Fitch catalogs, one showing a '61 on the cover, another for '65, and another for '66 and later. I thought I remembered paint for the lights listed, but none of the cats showed that. Resorting to a CAR & DRIVER road test reprint, I found the circled paragraph describing Mr. Fitch's light modifications. Stinger catalog lists "200,000 candle power driving Forum: Corvair Center Forum 24 days ago scottymac This one is a family relation, just not the real deal. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 24 days ago scottymac Would have saved Cody a lot of work on Craig's Fitch.

More $$$ than the last! Forum: Corvair Center Forum |
