Part 4: Burial of the Ninety Eight.
January 4, 2013
Ok, I haven't been working on the Vair much lately. My excuse is that I was distracted by my Suburban replacement program. I had to get rid of my 2000 Suburban so that I could get a 2000 Suburban. It's a long story, but the truck is coming around nicely. It's not a Vair but it is a Chevy, so I will post a picture of it. Mine is the 2500 on the left; the one on the right is my brother's 2003 Z71. These are our Zombiepocalypse escape vehicles:
Those of you who know your Chevy trucks might notice that my truck sports the 2001-2002 2500HD pickup style hood. The first one I bought got damaged in shipping, so I have an extra that will go on my brother's truck. It's leaning up against my '63 Olds Ninety-Eight, along with the original hood from the 'Burb.
Ok, enough about trucks. Let's get to the Corvair.
Still haven't done a lot of work lately, but I have been spending money. The seats have been reupholstered in leather. I picked them up today, and that gave me more stuff to bury the Olds with. Here's a picture of the two halves of the rear seat:
Here's one of the front seats; I haven't put all the parts back on them yet.
And the other:
As you can see, my Olds is getting completely lost in the garage. Who woulda thought you could hide a car that big?
I also received this box in the mail:
So that is going to be fun!
Probably not too much going on for awhile, since I don't have a heated garage....
