More progress on the Corvair. Now I have to figure out how to glue it together. What do you guys use, and what technique do you use? Perry

Thanks for the tips. I appreciate them. Perry

I'm making a 4 door Corvair from a 2 door, and I need to add door handles, and move the front ones. Is there a source for handles, or is there a way to cast the ones on the car before I sand them off? Perry

I didn't see a sedan, only a convertible. When I looked, it only went to page 12. I'll have to look again. Perry

Thanks Dave. Yes, any reference is good. i think I'll have to make the back window bigger too. Perry

Performed surgery. Patient looks good. The fit should be good, but the Camaro top is just a little wider. May have to cut down the center and narrow it. Need to flatten the back by the hood in back and graft in the louvered panel from the Corvair. Doesn’t fit too bad. Will keep most of the Corvair top and trim the Camaro top just ahead of the C pillars. Perry

No pictures of my car, but I can google some 4 doors online though. Perry

I need door handles. How do you guys do those? Perry

Couple of additional pictures. Seems to line up well. Camaro roof has a slope down on the sides to the rain gutters. The Corvair top is fairly flat to the gutters. I need to save and graft the pane l under the backlight into the Camaro top. Perry

I am starting to try to build my first car, a 1965 Corvair Mona 4 door. I have one of the AMT Corvair kits, and an early Camaro body. The plan is to transplant the Camaro roof on the Corvair. It looks like the roof would fit fine. I plan on cutting the Corvair behind the windshield to use the stock Corvair windshield. At the C pillar it might be harder. I need to keep the lovers on th3 rear body work on the Corvair. Time to do some measuring. Any one that’s done this, please chime in with thoughts. Thanks, Perry

I don't see why not. Here's what one looks like. Lots of dental supplies help in modeling. Perry

Andrew, That angle, and the bur looks familiar. Were/are you a dentist? I sell dental supplies and have those latch angle drives, the burs also. Impression material comes in handy for making molds to cast items. Perry

Daily driver in summer. Top always down. If it’s bad out and for winter, the 328i. Perry

I'm reviving this as I hope to build my first car, a 1965 Corvair Monza. It was a four door, got it in 74 for $75 and it was rust free, only needed a battery. Had a three speed on the floor. I enjoyed it very much, but sold it to get a 1965 Triumph TR4. What are the external differences? Anyone convert a 2 door to four? Or is there a resin body for it. Perry

Blue Scuro is a very nice color on these. Nice dark blue. Perry

Nice dragster Scott. Well done. Perry

Scott, don't worry about it. You apologized, everyone makes a mistake or two. No one died or is bleeding. It's a hobby. Hope you come back and try another quiz, they are fun. Perry

Looks a bit like a Ferrari 250 GTO short roof. http://cdn.luxuo.com/2018/06/ferrari-250-gto-2-thumb-960xauto-86451.jpg

I knew it was German, but thought MB was too obvious. Perry

Cool car, very nicely done. Saw a replica of Parnelli's Ford at Elkhart Lake for the Vintage. David MacNeil was there with his 250GT TdF too. Must be nice. Perry

Very nice. Could be a 166 Berlinetta or 195S. Great build. Perry

I see black and red wires, do the lights work? Perry

I like option A. That subtle blue/gray you see now is really nice. Perry

Very cool. When I heard restomod I remembered this one, It's a 300 SL, but you get the idea. Perry

That’s funny. Being a teacher, you’re doing a wonderful thing. And it sounds like your kids appreciate it. Perry
