<VV> Body Transplant

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

Been there - done that exactly same as Kent but I suspect that I started
with a much rougher body.

Did it once, glad I did but never again!

Assembling a Corvair?
Kent Sullivan is doing it right now.....for pics....    corvairkid.com

As far as ever finding / using a fully stripped body......very unlikely....

The average derelict, sunburnt body in the SW...needs rubber , upholstery
parts...and an engine / trans repair...
