Al Corporon (Al's V8Vair)

[AlsV8vair]

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

Hi great forum I am the new custodian of Als great little Crown Corvair [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] we made the deal about 1 year ago and I have enjoyed the car a lot. ( Thanks Al ) This year I am adding 4 wheel disc brakes and lowering the car to a more sane level ( sorry Al ) as i go I will add pictures but I am happy to be a part of Als fanily as he is a part of mine. The car gets a lot of use ( some very hard ) and i will make sure it continues to live on

It was a pleasure meeting you, true car guy. felt like I new you for years first time we met.
