<VV> It must be national concours time -

[J. R. Read]

Ned,

I consider myself to be a stock"ish" guy.  I like my Corvairs to at least 
appear stock to the average Corvair person (or easily changeable back to 
stockier than they are now) and yet I like to drive them as much as weather 
permits.  Example, the Monza convert has an AM/FM radio (came with AM) and a 
Corsa dash and the Rampside sports a Spyder instrument panel (I like the 
head temp).

I admire the guys for their time and effort who participate in the stock 
classes for show.  That is their Corvair fun - keeping the car as near 
original as possible.  My Corvair fun is just different from theirs.

My comment about eliminating stock classes was somewhat tongue in cheek, but 
not my comment about taking a fresh look at the rules.  I think that the 
rules could use a once over in light of the newly surfaced Lambrecht car as 
it seems to have come to be called.  Easy for me to SAY - since I do not 
feel qualified for such an undertaking.

Later, JR
