<VV> Restoration, was: Part Acquired

[The Robbins]

Don't be nice because the next time there is a 2 doors are better than 4
doors fight going on I will feel bad for railing you and them. <ggg>

I hope I can sell my Vert without going to eBay, I don't want to deal with
that whole thing but I may try it in a couple of weeks, my price is plenty
low enough and I have made the car solid so the right person will come along
and give it a good home I hope. It was a good experience just once, it is
much cheaper to buy a turnkey car but I could afford that so I worked on it
when I could and had $$ available, took many years to get paint on it but it
was worth the wait knowing every square in of the car and how it was done
right.

You get the gold star for the day, Joe! Always glad to hear of someone
saving a Corvair. Especially one with some rare options. A/C on a convert
is pretty rare. And the tele column is great.

Heck, if I was in it for the money, I would have started with some muscle
or pony cars. Especially anything with a Hemi. But I got in on the ground
floor of a marque that's STILL on the ground floor. LOL

Your wallet may not be proud of you, but I am. :o)
