<VV> Corvair trim differences

[Bill Hubbell]

Ray (or whomever else may be interested)

This is exactly the sort of discussion the new SCG site is made for. It would be wonderful if somebody would post (even better, with photos) to the site. You don't have to have all your facts straight to start a post - that gets sorted out with comments. The editors of the site are there to help fix any problems.  By adding appropriate tags and categories to the posts we make them easy to find later when somebody else is looking for information. 

Please consider posting all your stock Corvair questions and answers to the SCG site http://stock.Corvair.org. If you aren't already a member of the site, please register.

Contrary to what you might think by looking at the source of current posts on the site, the SCG is not just a couple of people who "know everything about stock Corvairs"; rather, it is a tool for everyone of us who have any sort of interest in anything stock Corvair to use to further that interest. The new website is the powerful realization of that tool. However, like any other tool, it is worthless without people to use it. 

Please use the tool

Thanks

Bill Hubbell
SCG President
