Newest pics of the boogie van(64 corvair FC van)

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):




Now:

 

I think you did one hell of a job with that van.*****er is****s!!-MIKE

 

now thats what i call a good advertising VAN. Looks very good and hope you keep going with more pics.

 

Thats kool looking for a Vair Van. I like the interior. Sweet

 

I've been lookin at some old cor-vans (for the kids) and don't know a lot about'em. Ups, downs? what do think about it? By the way, killer job!

 

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

 

Hey Chicken,
The van looks great! When you coming back this way? Got another bike im building now too! lol I cant stay outta that damn garage ya know. Hope everything is going well in Houston now. Take care bro! Dustin

 

nice job

 

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**** 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

 

Very Nice Van!!, Nice Color anda nice roof.

OT; your photography is Excellent!

 

I LIKE it! Great color. Always been partial to vans and wagons.

 

I love this corvair van...was wondering the other day how much progress had been made...I love the oddrods and this is definitely one of them...love the colors and the flaked roof...the interior is****s...love a bench seat in a van...

 

mega points on the flaked roof

 

Cool Van! whats the plan for wheels?
Greg Porter, as in the Greg Porter who has the bad**** Black Studebaker P.U.?

 

Cool that you found someone that can work on it...

 

Scooby Dooby Dooooooo! Awesome CorVan Man!!!!!!

 

Thats one cool piece. Nice job

 

That thing jams!! Hopefully, Fu Manchu is blaring from the speakers right now!

 

i expected 'free candy" to be painted on it somewhere.

youve surprised the world once again, mr. chicken of the land

 

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.

 

I am planning on something like astro supremes, and is there any other greg porter lol. He is a cool kat and I am glad to be able to call him a friend

 

wanted blue or silver I guess he hasnt found anything for me yet

 

Hey omar dont forget I want to shoot that green car lol. Thanks for taking us around last friday we are probably going to head up again if we have the van back. We actually hung out with the local corvair club and they have a guy who is top notch on the vairs so now we just wait on parts lol

 

That is a VERY cool van! I can't wait to see it up close. The lettering totally fits it.
