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....
