[FC] Newly Registered participant but not new to Corvair's

Hi Andria, Thanks for the pictures. Corvanatics does not have it's own "forum" other than the email list that you sent to and that is not very active. We do have the FB page as far as social media goes and the web site of course.As a side note on your side door rear inside handle I find it more convenient to have the handle pointing down so you can open the door easily from the outside. The window handle can then match when the window is fully rolled up. The front door can also match the rear door as you never open that door from the outside and the person sitting in the seat will want to pull on the handle anyway as a natural action to open the door from the inside.I also noticed the stance of the van and the front is not nose high! So it either has cut springs or my lowering springs. if you can go over a whoopie bump at about 15-20 mph and not hit your head on the ceiling it probably has my springs.
BTW My friend, Tom Burgess, and I just purchased a 62 Corvair 95 8 door! Virtually rust free and was on the cover of the Jan 85 Corsa Communique. Here we are in Mi. with a van, with Heater Delete!

 Hi,
I have visited the Corvantics website several times but never registered or participated in any communications.
Not being very computer literate, I am unfamiliar with how this site works.
When I saw the word "Forum" under the More tab, I thought it might be worthwhile joining as I currently own a 1962 95 Van as well as a 1964 Greenbrier Deluxe, both of which are in the registry.
Is this simply an e-mail communication format, or is there an actual forum like the Corvair Center forum or the Corvair Forum?
Attached are a few photo's of my Greenbrier both at the time of purchase as well as current. Prior owners include Dick Ferreby and  Clark Hartzel.
Photo's 1-6 are from the day I first saw the van and purchased it.
Photo's 7-12 were taken during the process of renovation.
Photo's 13-17 are of what it looks like currently although it is still an ongoing process. Since the most recent photo's, I have acquired and installed a NOS front Grille & Ornament and Rear Door Reflectors.
I have put about 3,000 miles on it since April of 2023.
Photo 18 is of my other 95 Van, Photo 19 is of my '65 Monza convertible.
