@david 1964 #Corvair #AutoRestoration progress.
I finally draw up a sharpie TODO Checklist, which so many people seem to use (at least they do in their 'tube videos)
...then spend the day derusting and plating old bolts - something not on The Checklist.
This is going to take awhile longer, I'm afraid. -

Cleaned and zinc plated the clutch cable.
Such tasks seem never ending. -

I also cleaned up the headlight buckets, which included having to fabricate a trim hold-down bracket and home made rivets to hold the bracket down.
I straightened and polished the stainless rings that hold the headlights down.
Now I need to decide whether I'm going to try to tackle repairing the aluminum bezels, or whether Clark's get another couple hundred $ from me for reproductions. -

The spring in the trunk that holds the jack stand in place was stretched.
Turns out, all you need to do is heat it up so it loses its will to live and you can "squish" it back to shape while hot. Quench with water and ta-da: good as new.
I then plated and polished the mostly-straightened spring. -

I rescued these "Body By Fisher" stamped/painted sill badges from my old sills and will put them onto the shiny repro sills (which come without) using tiny rivets.
These things have never been reproduced, and go for about $30 each if you can find 'em. -

The steering box (minus lube) is back together and feels ok even though the teeth are slightly pitted.
Coincidentally, Clarks Corvair just sent their 2026 parts catalog which announces they will have affordable repro gears later this year, so I may be taking this back apart before the year is done. -

I've been helping the neighbor some with his 1984 #Porsche 944, and that has got me back in the mood to work on my own project.
Over the weekend, I blew off 10 months of accumulated dust from the fresh paint job, gently washed with new micro fibre cloths, and then promptly covered it with an indoor cover.
A couple of days ago, I dropped the suspension so that I could access the underside.
I need to address the lack of adequate underbody seam sealer situation, which is one gripe I've got with the place that did the bodywork. I mean, come on!
Once the underside is properly sealed, then I can start putting things back in.
And one of those things is a steering column upgraded with a slightly less-worn worm nut than the one that came in the car. -

I visited the 60yo #Corvair Rampside wearing 40yo mud.
Minimal surface/body rot, but the underside implies an entire mechanical refresh and I don't have the space (nor energy) for that. Dammit.
Pretty rare to find an original untouched, especially at the low price ask. It won't be sitting much longer. -

Oh, god.
A cheap, unrestored, decent condition #Corvair Rampside - a vehicle I've always coveted - is available 30 minutes from here.
I have little need for it, other than *damned cool*, and only street parking for it.
It could be flipped for 3x the asking price.
