<VV> Hello U corvair people

[Michael Kovacs]

First off, where do you live? How can you tell the comb chamber is corroded? The 
trunk can be opened by removing the drivers side head light bucket and reaching 
in to open the latch. I assume the Key fits but does not turn in the lock?  Did 
you try to press down on the hood, while trying to turn the key? Some are just a 
bit out of adjustment.

 If you have restored a car in the past, the Corvair just needs the electrical 
sys to work, the brakes to be solid and .....the engine to run. The PG may 
require a ATF  change and a good warm up period for the first time. 

 Lots of Corvairsuppliers out there. Did you look up CORSA on the Internet? Keep 
asking questions.

Subject: <VV> Hello U corvair people

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.
