<VV> Large Dia wheels

[Thomas L. Gwyther]

Thanks for all the compliments from everyone!

I completely agree, If my Rampy was a pristine example I wouldn't think of
doing all that stuff to it.

It needs a lot of TLC, it has been restored before and has about 425,000 miles
on the body (still has the original front ball joints, all of them)
There is a fair amount of rust so I don't think I could really ruin this
truck.

    Here is an Idea of what 17" and 18" wheels would look like on a Rampside.

    The body isn't drawn completely.

  Your drawings are really bitchin'!

  Seriously, you should be warned that some will feel your customization and
use of such large wheels is almost a sin. I think that it's your car and you
can do as you please. That's one of the great things about Corvairing - you
can express yourself through your Corvair as you see fit. I see some Corvairs
that, to me, have just been ruined by what their owners have done. I see
others that I think are beautiful. But above all I think it's good for the
"sport"; to see people "doing their own thing". Keep us posted.

  P.S. I'd like to see someone stuff two allow small blocks in the bed of a
Rampy - either front to back or side-by-side. They could bring it to a
convention and do exhibition burn-outs for everyone! :)
