[V8Vairs] Help on bellhousing Dust Cover Part No.

[v8vairs@corvair.org]

Project is moving along nicely.  Just got done building the headers last 
weekend.  Now I have to make the exhaust pipes and the entire exhaust 
system will be ready to take to the coaters for treatment.  I need to 
finish building the engine cover/air cleaner assembly, and I'll then be 
ready to pull the engine, trans, and rear end back out of the body.  I 
haven't had any luck in finding a '65-66 Corsa dash, so it appears that 
I'll need to fabricate an entire new dash to house the instruments.  But, 
other than that, I'm ready to begin final body work and painting, and once 
done to begin final assembly.  It may be running this summer. 

It has been a long time in coming; I am more than eage to hear the beast 
run.

Thanks!  I bought an early pickup resto magazine at the store last night, 
so 
I have the vendors names;  I just needed the information about the year.

How is that project coming?
