Custom Lovers - this is what you need.

Back in the seventies Bill Hines was doing some custom Corvairs 1/2 tops , suicide doors, scoops, the works. All of the work I saw was done in lead. Does anybody know the history of this one?

Well, I paid for it this morning. I will be picking it up next weekend. Now the fun starts . . . .

 

good for you, that is going to be a neat one, I would love to see it fixed up.

 

great! find some 13" cragars, have a fresh coffin pleat velvet interior installed and leave the paint alone!

 

Awsome!! Congrats I think thats a smokin deal cant wait to see some pics when ya get it home...and of coarse your plans for it!!

 

Not a Corvair fan, but I'm glad you saved this one. Will be a real attention magnet when it is finished. Please keep us posted on your progress.

 

Well wheels are way up in the air at this point. Cragars, Starwires, Supremes . . . I do believe that the car will visit TJ for a "traditional" interior. And for now, the paint will stay as is until a fitting paint job is in the budget. I have an engine for it in a parts car.

 

wasting my time lookin

 

Think I saw that car in one of those "rap" video's. Maybe it was Snoop Dog
or some other fella?

 

If anyone has pics of it "in the "day" I would love to see 'em

 

You gotta keep the paint just as it is.

 

I actually love that car. We like flashbacks, cause they're free man.

 

HAHA!

Why do I now have the urge to go home and watch "Dazed and Confused"...

Please let us know how the paint has held up and throw down some better pictures...

 

That car is beyond cool, nice score.

 

I should have some better pictures by next weekend.

 

that vair rules, i wouldnt touch the paint even if its slightly worn

 

i like it ....DONT change the paint.....Ernie

 

That's pretty cool, if you ask me...although no one did. LOL. That paint is awesome. I'd be looking for a way to maybe buff it out, or even clean it up enough to shoot a fresh coat of clear over it? I don't know paint, but wonder if that would bring it back? I'm proud for ya....awesome score!

 

here are some pictures i stumbled on well looking up something else

Just looking at that car makes me unsettled.

I dig it though, great score!

 

Thanks for that link, I was looking for some of those.

 

I even looked on riksters site... haha I guess not hard enough!

 

The only body damage i can see on that is the lower lip on the rear,it's pushed up.Hopefully there isn't severe damage to that lip.Hell,if I would have know,I would have gone and picked it up.I missed this thread.

 

Well, according to my friend that looked at it, there's a few dents in the lower body, and very little cracking, so I think I lucked out on this one. This is still a dream until Saturday.
