<VV> Finding someone to work on Corvairs (was "Corvair vs. Falcon")

<at least I can get 
local people to work on the Falcon>

You've probably opened a whole can of worms and maybe started a flame war but 
I think you've hit on one huge impediment to the popularity of the Corvair as 
a collector car.  Most guys on this list probably can't relate to this since 
they do their own work but I'd be willing to bet that most folks in the 
collector car hobby pay someone else to work on their cars.  The collector car 
hobby, afterall, is a luxury and most folks who can afford such a luxury are 
working so hard to make the kind of money that allows them to indulge in such 
luxuries that they don't have the time to do much of their own mechanical work.  For 
that reason, if there is any one thing that we, as a club, could do to 
heighten interest in Corvairs, I think it would be to encourage good Corvair shade 
tree mechanics to go into business.
