[boo_dc]

How's Toronto Kurt?  I heard there was snow then it went away...but I bet some more took its place.
 
Happy new Year!

   Boo- get the wagon.    You can always find a convertible later, they are far more plentiful than the wagons. I would love it myself, just don't know when I can get 
down there.
  And there aren't any up here........

   I'll make it back down to NOVA eventually.
Cheers all.

After going out and taking a look, I think either of these options will work.  I will also remove the leaf spring and pull both axles out our just to make sure I can get enough clearance.  It looks like I'll have to
 drop it about 1 1/2 inches to clear the mount studs and have room to install the new mounts.  I'm hoping the new mounts will also correct the problem I'm having with excessive tow in on both rear wheels.> > On another note, I've attached some pictures of the estate auction that me, Greg and Darrin attended today in Boonsboro, MD.  There were 15 Corvairs of varoius models.  Unfortunately, most were parts cars with the exeption of a 2 EM's, 1 red LM Coupe, attached, that Greg won, and 2 Rampside's.  I left before the bidding started, but Darrin & Greg may have more deatils on what appears to have been some truly bizzare bidding on one of the Rampside's.> > Ron> > On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at  9:30 PM, Curtis Shimp wrote:> > > Ron:> > > > This may not be of any use to you but on a late model there are two ways> > to do it.
