<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Stock Corvair Group (SCG) website,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://stock.corvair.org" title="http://stock.corvair.org/">http://stock.corvair.org</a><span style="color:black">,
is the<br>
home base of operations for the Stock Corvair Group. Kent Sullivan and I<br>
have spent the past couple of months updating the site, adding new<br>
material, editing, and tagging the old material, and giving the site a new,<br>
fresh look. We invite you to visit it and check out some of our new<br>
features:<br>
<br>
· All material, including photos, is now tagged, making it easier<br>
to find topics of interest to you. Just go to the home page and select one<br>
of the tags and the site will show you all posts with that tag.<br>
<br>
· New content includes original research on Washer Bottle Brackets,<br>
many new external sites added, including links to all original Dealer Sales<br>
brochures, detailed help on finding and understanding date codes, and an<br>
indexed gateway to David Trull’s “Corvair Gold”<br>
<br>
· There is now a Help section on the menu bar, which includes<br>
information on how to use the site to post, add media, manage<br>
subscriptions, etc.<br>
<br>
· There is a new section devoted to surveys and research questions.<br>
This includes some new surveys, including a member survey where you can<br>
tell us more about your interests and offer suggestions for improving the<br>
site.<br>
<br>
· Photos of all cars inspected at any “Annual Stock Corvair Event”<br>
are now available for review. Each ASCE now has its own page with links to<br>
the entire album or to individual cars. We even have documentation of some<br>
“new” survivor cars over these past two pandemic years!<br>
<br>
· We have released more material to the public area of the website.<br>
That said, you still need to login to see all of the content.<br>
<br>
I’m saving our most exciting news for last! We have tried for several years<br>
to evaluate Stock Corvairs at CORSA conventions (ASCE). We have not had<br>
great success with that approach, for a variety of reasons. So now we are<br>
going to offer members the opportunity to participate in “Virtual” Stock<br>
Assessments. The way it will work is this: interested parties will complete<br>
an interactive form we have prepared which will give us a lot of useful<br>
information, and then they will submit a series of photos that we will<br>
review to complete the evaluation. This is an exciting opportunity to<br>
better document and preserve the information in an ever-diminishing number<br>
of survivor cars, or to help those who are trying to restore their cars to<br>
factory appearance. If you are interested in this project, open and<br>
complete the “SCG Stock Evaluation Request Form”, found in the “Surveys”<br>
section of the website.<br>
<br>
Also, we will continue to offer the Facebook SCG Page and Group for our<br>
more social-media minded members. The Facebook Stock Corvair Group<br>
<</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/709344113297765" title="https://www.facebook.com/groups/709344113297765">https://www.facebook.com/groups/709344113297765</a><span style="color:black">> has been very popular,<br>
currently with 1,070 members. This is certainly the place to go to talk<br>
about Stock Corvairs. The SCG Website will remain the location where we<br>
keep our databases, conduct our surveys, and publish our research. Check it<br>
out!<br>
