    I get alot of hassle for being a photographer and not having any descent pics of the van or its new interior. Special thanks to kevin and Darren at Razor graphics in Fredericksburg V.A, Squindo for designing my new logo, Greg Porters Customs for selling me the van even though he didnt want to, and finally Jimmy at Three R,s in Greenville S.C for hooking up the interior. Still waiting on carpet, steering wheel,wheels,rear hardwood floor, and my oil leak fixed then we can drive it all over texas. It was my ride for 13 hours from Jacksonville to Houston in a nasty storm but except for a bad battery it kept on going.


    The day we bought it(birthday present from the misses):

    I actually like mine they do have a few quirks I just met the guys from our local corvair club, and they have a master mechanic thats a member that can tune these cars in his sleep. I am delivering it today to get my oil leak fixed other than that I have driven this thing alot of miles since I bought it in April. If you can find a good vehicle to start with go for it. Unless its someones first vehicle then I would recommend a old big body sedan or something there is not alot of metal or anything between you and the windshield on theses vans

    I bought mine years ago cheep (because it was a Corvair) and ran it all over Pgh, Pa. running heating and AC service. Kept a spare power plant, could change it out in 45 min, and it was going again. That gave me time to fix up the bad one. Could't stop in the winter, to much work. I loved it, had a 4 speed, aim it, and she would go, and push snowlike a plow. Also had a Hi proformance factory engine, just watch the belt EVERY time you check to oil, and buy premiun belts (a must) Ice man

    Thanks man I am working on getting out that way asap but I have been busy building furniture and trying to hit all the bad ass cruise inns they have here in Houston.


    I got the call from the shop today my oil leak wasnt that big of a deal it was the oil cooler lines and the oil filter adapter. Just have to wait on parts from clarks and she will be back on the road ready to roll

    You were at Matt's about a steering wheel. I guess he didn't have what you're looking for. Lemme guess-white flake? That would be cool.
