<VV> Early Model Front Doghouse Question

[Harry Yarnell]

There is a  term that you mention that needs clarifing. What are you calling
a subframe? There's nothing in a Corvair considered a subframe. Unless you
mean the front suspension assy.
There are no sheet metal body panels that remove from the Corvair short of
the doors, engine lid, vent panels, and trunk lid. Everything else is part
of the unibody.
