Since you're running through the desert and don't need heat, depending on the condition of all those engine seals, you may want to block off the...

Lol well that's my dog and my corvair so it's ok. She's good around other cars. There were a few cars there especially that orange monster of a...
Cool! I always get weird about posting other people's cars but the show was too good to not post these pics. I have always loved the straight 8s....
Every year I make it a point to get over to the hot rod Hustle in Asbury NJ (Jugtown Mountain). It's always a good time. [IMG]Heres the corvair....
My cable is fine and I suspect his is as well. These speedos die painfully. There's a gear in there that goes bye bye. Sent from my iPhone using...
Yup! lol that's how I've been rolling for at least a year, I'll get around to fixing it one of these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The biggest thing with these engines is to make sure the shrouds and the seals around the shrouds are in place. If it starts recycling air from...
Only if you have a bad bearing somewhere. People not doing regular maintenance caused that concern, not the car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I try to replace every piece of rubber with urethane. Even in new cars. It's amazing how much better they drive. Awesome wagon! Sent from my...
Good luck squirrel! Should be a great adventure. I wish I could go, they don't have anything fun like this near me. I love my corvair, and I bet...

Yup! This is exactly the way I learned to do it after a few tries. It's all about that seating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have porta walls on my 13" corvair wheels for about 6000 miles now. They look great still. I don't have any unreasonable expectations as to how...

That thing is pretty cool. You should try to drag it out of there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's a really good way of looking at it. I have to imagine that like anything else it's not if you CAN do it, but is it worth your time and...
I agree. I fix stuff too. I just built a little outhouse outside for an 80gallon compressor and I have very little experience with woodwork....
Looks great! This is how I spent my last week. Flywheel rattle. [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's like fluid film I think. Fluid film does actually work if you keep up on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh yeah? What type of vair? Welcome to the sickness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Some people use linseed oil. Or you could rub her down with fluid-film. That'll slow it down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah like the other guys said, awesome pic, but I would have found out just how fast that thing could go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's a great video! I hadn't thought about the x frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's good. Street rods never were my thing. I could care less. I put them right there with (modern) Italian sports cars. Nothing against the...
Well at least the steering column didn't javelin through his skull. Are we sure this is a "solid" example of a 59? I can't believe that thing...

That thing causes time travel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I love these too. My grandfather did a few of these adds for Pontiac. My father has one hanging up in his office in Florida. I'll snap a pic next...
It looks amazing! Nice stance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
