put a small mg windshield on that drag vair, ,and a street tire set-up,,,and you have a daily driver,,,,yee-haw
Speaking of camber... whenever I would set up a rally or fun run for the Corvair club here in SWMO, I would always make sure to run the club down "Camber Street" here in Springfield. It was only a bock long and buried in a subdivision, and the neighborhood didn't always get the joy from it that we did.
I came across this one today. It was too cool not to share. Nader Hater. https://fartcoinc.bigcartel.com/product/nader-hater-sticker
One of One LOL Not only did automotive giant General Motors launch a whole lineup of air-cooled, rear-engined, flat-six-powered cars, vans, and pickup trucks—two of its engineers tried to make an amphibious variant. The charmingly batty one-off that actually seems to have had a fighting chance at becoming a production model. Built by Chevrolet engineers Richard E. Hulten and Roger D. Holm, this seafaring Corvair was based on a brand-new Rampside pickup with a 65-horsepower engine and automatic transmission. They lengthened the Loadside's rear by two feet, making room for the hydraulic system hung off the rear of the engine that powered the twin propellers and electrically-operated rudders. They sealed off the undercarriage, installed engine and rudder controls in the truck bed, and got to floatin'.
Spotted this picture of a 65. Looks like a cool conversion but would like to have seen more details of the design.
Got to be a photo shop. You can see the p***enger side of the convertible top through the windshield......but still pretty damn cool Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I think you are right hrm2k and when I first saw it I suspected it might be a photoshop image. Always enjoy imagination and creativity which I think this image demonstrates and the design flows nice with the original lines of the car. I found it similar to my own version of the Waldorf Corvette I had considered trying to build several years ago. That one never happened but I recently did my own daily driver Wagon design on a later model build I call The Nomaro. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/2010-custom-longroof.43918/
WOW the Nomaro came out GREAT. Good reading at the links. Did any of the interview offers ever pan out?
