Five years ago I bought a 1966 Monza from a little old lady a town or
two over. She was the first owner. It is off white with medium blue
interior and the two carb engine. Automatic trans with factory a/c with
all original tinted glass and 60K miles. It sat in a garage for thirty
years and then outside for 3 years. Now I've started it. My last project
was an Olds Cutlass. Corvair sure is a different animal. My thoughts
were to paint it a different color and powder coat some trim but I've
just started and I'm scratch'n my head a lot. The engine is seized with
combustion chamber corrosion on the drivers side only for some reason,
but I've pulled the plugs and I'm trying "Engine Release" to possibly
get it to turn over. The key works in the front lock but the hood latch
doesn't want to let go of the uni-body for some reason. Any tips on that
hood problem would be great.
