<VV> Mustang or Corvair (long)

[Joe Robbins]

I couldn't sell any car that I had that long, you'd never be able to find
another one like it for the price. You know everything good and bad about
the car you have. Brand and make doesn't matter here, they don't make them
anymore right ?  I'd keep it .  I restored an IL rust bucket and of course
have twice the $$ in it than I should but I saved one well optioned Monza
from the crusher. Buying one is much cheaper than restoring one unless maybe
you want a driver that can be bondoed to the hilt and a cheap paint job
thrown on. We replaced 9 metal panels on DaVair and had to create metal
where there was none and none could be bought. To see the insanity of what
can happen, check the pics of the car, I added a couple of new ones.

 My 2 cents.

Don't even consider selling the Mustang.  Consider letting go your left arm
or .... did you say you have a wife ... (g) ... but not *the * car.
Get that rusty bondo-ed-up corvair, and work on getting the running gear
working, maybe even " running goooood " ..... there are various schemes to "
stabilize" rusty corvairs, so you can put body work off a few years ( 5 or
12 ) and it won[t get much *worse*, ..... also, rebuilding or replacing with
used ----  running gear is much cheaper than doing a good job on the body
work... less than almost perfect work on bodies usually means doing that
over and over ..... I suggest fixing up the go & performance stuff ( the fun
part ) and meanwhile as a minimum sign up for night classes in welding, as
in Mig & Tig ...
Hope this helps .. Ken Campbell, Iowa ... guy who traded his magnificent
Olds '67 convertible 442 away ... the guilt and pain is still with me ...
sigh ....
