<VV> crate bodies, sadly NO CORVAIR

[N. Joseph Potts]

If nothing else, I would expect the Corvair's monococque design (body
incorporates frame) to stack the economics heavily (pun intended) against
the idea. The Camaro is a body that is "stacked up," if you will, on a frame
that the owner provides. Because the Corvair body incorporates structural
elements, I would expect it to be (a) heavier; and (b) all one piece, except
for closures (doors, trunk, hood). The owner would supply the front and rear
suspensions with attendant crossmembers.
