Some time ago , someone had a small odd shaped " washer" posted here or  
virtual vairs. I knew i had seen it before , but could not remember where. 
Well  yesterday I removed a steering box from a FC...and it goes under the top 
bolt  for the box. It fits that odd shaped area of the frame. It is now in 
my parts  tumbler with other small parts. if you want a better picture , I 
will post it  after clean up.
The 64 greenbrier from hell left here yesterday. I wanted a few other small 
 parts from it , but I think we are running out of good weather , plus it 
was not  "mobile" and in a bad spot.
more pictures at the _www.cnycorvair.com_ (http://www.cnycorvair.com/)  
website. This one was a  real challenge. My surprise finding yesterday was the 
motor turns...well @300  degrees, before locking up. So i will spend more 
time removing rusted bolts than  I planned , I should be able to save the WB 
block and torque converter..I expect  to find a broken piston or rod. gees , 
if I luck out it is just a valve stuck  open..
I have not been this happy ( or sore !) in a long time. I did not expect to 
 get the last few parts when my torches ran out of acetylene.
Anyone use propane , instead of acetylene? does it work as good for  
cutting? Now would be the time to switch.
Regards, Tim Colson
