Tonight got a new battery, pulled the stickers and wiped it down with armor all. We have lights. Had to fix one tail light but headlights and high beams and now tail lights all good. Little steps in a long journey.

Productive few days recently working on the’Vair. Had some pieces painted and cleared coated and cleaned up the back of the rear seat. Took the seat down to the springs and took a wire wheel to it cleaning off most of the rust. Coated it with a rust converter and then a complete primer. Restored the back panel, put on the painted trim and got some new chrome hardware. Mounted the rear seat brace in the car and added the reclining rear seat back too.

No longer a flintstone car. When we got it you could use your feet to slow the car down. Not the case anymore. But some of the floor pan is not available in the aftermarket. Solution. Find another floor pan is good condition for a 63 Chevy Corvair. 🤣🤣 someone was watching over me and I did find a complete pan. Got the replacement pan cleaned up and swapped out the old rusted one with the clean pan. Added sound deadening mat and pan plugs to it and replaced all of the interior bolts with new hardware. It’s definitely a marathon not a sprint but it brings me joy to see the small steps add up.

Yes it’s a therapeutic sickness. Spent 2 days cleaning, detailing and rebuilding 2 pulleys that are hidden inside the tunnel and will never be seen. Also cleaned and painted inside of tunnel.

Been way too long. Life had got in the way so playing with the corvair took a back seat for the last year. Cleaned, painted and detailed the ‘frunk’. Wiper motor rebuilt and front wire harness redone. Also undercoated and painted the bottom of the ‘drunk’ as well.

My Vair needs floor pans and I was going to get them from Clark’s but I also need the entire floor under the rear seat. Was looking thru FB marketplace and found a complete EM floor pan with only minimal surface rust so we will be doing a floor swap here in the near future.

Also got the roof stripped down to bare metal and tomorrow I’ll wipe it down and give it a coat of satin black to match the top half of the car.

Also got most of the engine tin stripped, primed and painted and clear coated. Will let it sit for a week and then start putting it all back together with some new parts that I also received today from Clark’s Corvair.
