[NoVa-Corvairs] Next meeting and such

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi all,

We'll be on vacation through the 17th, so I'll miss the next  
meeting.  With all the parts in hand, I don't think it'll be too  
tough to get AJ's car running.  We got the '66 running last weekend,  
but found the brakes, well, they don't (brake, that is), so I'll have  
to take a look at those.  A good opportunity to install the dual  
master cylinder I have for it.

BTW, I'd like to drop a note to the other clubs about the Vair Fair,  
I think the plan is the common club support idea.  If you're likely  
to go to the VF next spring, could you let me know?  I'd like to be  
able to give them some idea of what they could expect on site.  Also,  
is there an event in particular you'd like to work on?  Nothing is  
too firm yet, but I figure if someone really wants to do a particular  
thing we might as well ask now.

Got this off VV, looks interesting:

Just received a Crutchfield Catalog today and they have a new product  
that
may work great in our Corvairs. It is a modern radio with infinitely  
adjustable
  shafts and includes a USB port etc.  The link for a nice demonstration
video is

Darrin, sometime I'd like to look at your Camaro and compare the  
radio opening to a late.  They have a faceplate kit for early Camaros  
that might work on a late 'Vair.  I'm told a radio in the '66 is high  
on the to-do list.
