Al Corporon (Al's V8Vair)

[Belair62]

That has to be a handful to drive !! I also see the aircraft landing lights !! I used to have those in everything I drove. They would fry the guys retinas in front of you !

Cool ride Al. Great history lesson on the V-8 conversion. Bet she goes like the wind. How does she handle with the increased weight in the rear?

Thanks!

+++ Al +++ Fantastic ''Vair "" all that horsepower, and low weight, makes for one fast a$$ ride... ""Now "" that's what I need in my Corvair, a lot more /// GO ///, and less show.. Al, you have one great car, I can't imagine what it would be like to handle that... Thanks for sharing, if I weren't so old, and broke, I would love to do what you have,, Thanks again..Kasey ...

Hey , thanks guys.

It is a blast to drive. at times it can be a handful,it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. once or twice I think I actually stopped breathing

the car obviously handled better when it was lower with the vette wheels but I wanted a change and I like the look of the 60's muscle cars so I changed the springs and shocks , I had the wheels sitting around , painted them and got the look I was after.
One thing the car does not lack is traction I had considered a set of skinny bias ply's just for cruise nights and also a pair of Thrush side kicks but I am not sure if that would look alright .

Kasey I would like to see some photos of your vair.

thanks

Al
