<VV> Corvair weekend

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Had a great Corvair weekend in Kansas. Stopped by the paint shop Friday  
night to check out the progress on my 1965 sedan. It was mostly stripped and  
looked like a leopard with all the door dings marked with tape.  Saturday was a 
nice trip to historic Medicine Lodge, Kansas for a car show.  The ride was 
through some very nice country side with rolling hills (not all of  Kansas is flat) 
and the weather was nearly perfect. VV's Terry Kalp drove his  1964 
convertible and Kirk Eck drove his freshly painted 1965 Coupe, I drove my  1966 Corsa 
coupe. We met up with David Fasgold and his 1965 coupe at the show.  David's 
band, the Dorfus Crack Tractors provided the musical entertainment. They  played 
everything from Michael Jackson to the Ramones, good sounding  tunes.
The weekend wound up with some fun at Terry's shop. I worked on stripping  
out the remnants of a  65 coupe. Terry and I removed the front and  rear 
suspensions last weekend and I removed most of the remaining good parts  today. 
There's not much left. After lunch we went to pick up a car that was  owned by a 
club member, Joe Pape. Joe passed away right after Christmas last  year and his 
widow wanted the club to have his car. As Terry already mentioned,  it is a 
very interesting car. A 1968 500 coupe with 140, 4 speed, quick steering  and HD 
suspension (plus it has a clock). How many of those were built?
 
Anyhow, how your weekend was as fun...
