Joe Lange Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Greetings All, Finished the Corvair wagon this weekend. Alas, it is a 'static' model because I really didn't want to get into creating an opening tailgate to access the engine cover. However, hope you enjoy the photos! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khils Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 That's Cool!! 😎 Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Very nice. You need to tell us more. Is this a resin body? Or something you cooked up yourself? Beautiful. A shame Chevrolet didn’t offer something this cool with second gen Corvair themselves. Looks a bit Opel.

I posted several pieces about the resin 'kit' and in the 'Work In Progress' section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 That's a great looking Corvair, Joseph. It's a very handsome wagon indeed. I love the lines, and the tail end treatment is very nicely done. You did a great job bringing this one to life. I love it. Very well done.

Koellefornia Kid Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Every time I took a look in the wipe's thread, I always thought: that will look nice! Thanks for proving it! Great build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I like the smooth way the Chevelle style roof integrates with the Corvair body. The color shows off the body lines and it almost looks like the color I had on my '67 El Camino way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Vondracek is his name and he casts some pieces from his location in California. Occasionally he sells his castings on Ebay but, I haven't seen anything lately. His email is: randomresinjoe@gmail.com. On this site, all you have to do is type in the 'search box', Resin Corvair Station Wagon or 1967 Corvair Sportwagon. You will see all the photos and information I posted about this casting. Nothing to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it was probably used on other Chevys as well at the time. Actually, I used Dupli-Color 'Sunburst Gold', which I think is a ford color, but I won't tell the Chevy guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Dayum, love this so much, @Joe Lange. Never built a Corvair cuz I always thought they were dopey and sad looking. This is expertly proportioned and cleanly executed. Just like GM might've designed it. Have sudden urge to pick up a Corvair, a wagon, and bash 'em together.
