<VV> Suggestion for the Corvair org site

[J R Read_HML]

Joe,

There is a STOCK Corvair group actively trying to document just that type of 
thing.  Perhaps you should join that group.

In the meantime, our vendor catalogs and chassis manuals have many good 
pictures.  For the package cardboard, see:

Later, JR
