<VV> What are your Corvair plans for 2014???

Since my garage is nearing completion, -- just need to get the old Bear car 
 lift serviced and installed, I'll first do some needed maint. on the '62 
Pontiac  Grand Prix and then get back on my David Clemens built '69.  It's 
painted  and already in place on jackstands to finish the Corsa dash 
conversion, finish  the A/C and glass installs and do the interior.  It's bottom side 
has long  since been done.  The biggie is the 675 mile run up to David's to 
turn the  hurt 140 he built into a 3 liter.  It's not the drive, it's the  
money.   :-)   This car was always intended to be my GT  driver of choice, 
with strong track day capability.  Never a Walmart  runner.  I'll not be 
going to Tacoma as it's WAY too much of an expense  from Florida, but in 2014 I 
hope to finally be driving the improved Corvair  sports car I fantasized 
about in the early '70's.
 
As for the '64 Monza vert. w/factory A/C, I'm going to try & get my  wife 
to pass some $$$ to Eddie Meadows for the engine freshening it  needs. (she 
has a job)   Maybe even the re-weatherstripping it  has to have.  I figure I 
can buff the hell out of the $200 paint job  it came with for now.  I put 
the title in her name when I bought it so  "it's not my job, mon"   (the 
expense)........
