    that's really not out in the deep woods.
     
  3. Why didn't you just part the sticker bushes? :D :D
     
  4. Might as well try to get it to run. Good find for $50.

    The scratches and scabs from the sticker bushes will go away in a week or less.

    I have a thorn bush in my back yard with 2-3 inch thorns all over it. Think Jesus' crown of thorns. Birds get stuck on them.
    there is some stuff in there it over grew.
    Its going to stay there for now.

    You have never hacked your way through a blackberry patch have you?
    It may not be in the deep woods but those vines are pretty mean to deal with. Come September you will never know that he chopped his way though them either.

    Nice find Moses.

    You got that locally? It doesn't look rusted enough to be from around here.:D
    That is a nice find.I've always liked Corvairs and as far as what to do with it, I'm thinking g***er all the way!!

    Google Corvair aircraft engines and you will discover piles of info on how to build a period style road rocket that won't blow up.

    Make sure you flush the radiator before you start it:D

    I wander if you can find one of those V8 conversion kits they used to sell for those things, or at least a 4 barrel conversion?

    Didn't Ralph Nader outlaw those front fuel tank mounted suicide bomber cars? In the mid 60's I remember a Corvair ran into a house. Fried the house and the car. Whoa!

    Call up autozone, they will try to find you one. But they usually end up just telling you they dont carry them any more:D

    Great find. Too bad it's not closer or i'd be at the top of the list as one of the potential buyers.
