    Dang! Now that makes me drool. Very nice. I've always loved the tilt back model. Mine is the later, slightly longer, non-tilt back with the built in chin spoiler. Lambo doors or not, it's not an easy car to get in and out of.

    Hey thanks for those. It's really appreciated. Very neatly done. The one pic of front has me puzzled: Is it cut to allow the nose to tilt? That would make at easier to work on. That ladder frame is bulletproof.

    Thanks for sharing, I'm taking notes. I think that's the way to go instead of trying to restore the 'Vair front end stuff.

    Hey thanks, that actually helps a lot! I have the same trannie, a 4 speed Saginaw, the diff portion is currently a standard but I do have a Posi that I'm tempted to get the 4 spider kit for and have at it.

    That's great then you're coming along good. Thank for the info- its a cable on mines now but it binds and will need to be done over. I was going to try something different like hydraulic or an electronic servo-type but that doesn't seem realistic at this point. For the diff, do you mean the 4...

    Thank you and good luck with yours. I'm not finding a lot of info out there or the sources (transaxle upgrades, Corvair to Rack and Pinion Swap, headlight covers, a good accelerator pedal setup that doesn't bind, lol) have dried up but still plugging away.

    Yeah, that was pretty cool to get the car from him. Probably some basic stuff first: mechanical infrastructure and safety. I'll have to make myself wait on the eye candy.

    Thank you. I liked the Avengers and the Jamaica as well. The ladder frame did catch my eye, It looks to be a good platform to build on. At some point I'm going to have to figure out what do with that Corvair diff and front steering / suspension. It works but worries me with the SBC LT1.
