Jay Peterson has been selling 4-5 bodies a year by himself. He strips all the parts off and then sells the bodies mostly with no tag or title, but occasionally he does sell them with the titles. They make excellent canidates for this type of senerio. There is also a guy in Washington who makes an exact replica of the 53-55 body and will even hand lay it.

The bodies are out there if someone wants one.

Roger I don't know if I am going to make Carlisle or know. Right now I am looking at almost a $1000.00 just in gas out and back. That is not counting room, food, booth space and also after dinner drinks. I will have to see how I do at Bloomington Gold before I decide about Carlisle.

Joe,

Thanks for the compliments, it has came a long way since even the pictures I've posted. We are making stainless for it now on the outside trim and trying to figure out the windows.

We will all see you in Carlisle, hope you enjoy the picture.

Don't try to tell us that she doesn't raise eyebrows in the neighborhood!

It has raised a few eyebrows in the old neighborhood, most think I'm nut's and they are probably right. Then they ask about the car....................

That is one concept vette that GM should have produced back in the day. C1 coupe Keep up the great work and do keep the rest of us up to date!

Thanks for the compliments, it gets better and better each week. Look forward to taking it to Carlisle to see what everyone thinks of the old girl.

Covair compared to a new one, it's getting better.

Roger, You need to contact the NCM and see about having it on display next year for the Corvette Caravan Labor Day Weekend 2009, 15th Anniversary of the NCM. That would look good on the turn table up front for all to see.

What an incredible car!!

(And that one with the white side walls isn't bad looking, either. )

I'll put some more pictures up, after Carlisle I'm going to restore the car. I have been pretty happy with the way it turned out. Next year at Carlisle I hope to have it completely restored.

Mike Terry

Roger, I am not going to be able to make it. I will be in ILL.

Hope the people at Carlisle enjoyed seeing the Corvair in the shape it was in. Had a few mishaps on the way home, but nothing money won't fix.

Pictures? Comments from the crowd? Mishaps? Your fan club is anxious for details!
