That Corvair is sick. Always wanted to build a 2 door Spyder wagon. By wanted I mean pipe dreams. Getting older you realize you don't have time to do everything you want. Your cars are super clean. I'm just hoping by the time I can drive the regal it'll be mostly one color lol

Yeah, me, too. I don't have the room or ambition to take on a 4dr/2dr conversion at this point in my life. I gotta be ok outrunning people in an old rust-bucket that runs like crazy. hahaha I'm afraid the paint is what's holding my old chevy together.

I'm only 26 but have way to many projects as it is. Really trying to get the regal running this year. If that happens I'm really wanting to do drag week or drag weekend or power tour or something of that sort the following year

Very inspiring! Ok...I'll look into options when I get the motor ready. I'm also quite poor by many standards. (rich by others) lol
The conversion I'd looked at was a convertible kit.

It's not often I ask another man about his sauce, but that crap seems to be borderline awesomesauce.

Finally got a welder for the house. Jewed the guy from 6 to 400 welded with it but he's got a spool of .024 in it that just didn't want to feed. Welded fine when it was feeding. I'll get some .030 or .035 some new tips and a tank and be good to go

thanks man there's definitely a few tweaks that need to be made from the photo chop. The C pillar will be slanted forward more and probably will be a bit wider then it looks In the photo edit. I tried to offer the advice to the person I paid to do the render but apparently it's hard to find artist that will cooperate lol

Is that the drag strip up north? This is my first delve into anything that's worth taking to the track. I have not been up there but some of my friends race there

Umm... are you sure those chemicals are compatible? Looks like a HAZMAT disaster waiting to happen. Others watching at home might want to consult the MSDS data before trying it - because have fun explaining that cocktail to the ER or poison control when **** goes sideways at you need treatment.
