Very cool

Hey Eric, really enjoying watching all the scratch-building you're doing on this one. This build is making me fantasize about building a later body ('66 - '67) Doug Thorley/ Hayden Proffitt/ Randy Wells topless Corvair early funny. Wonder if the recent AMT Chezoom ('69?) Corvair body could be a suitable donor to cut the top off and use for a '66 -67 body?

Mike (iBorg) - thanks for posting those two history links....the source of my scale modeling fantasies! What a brief but awesome period of drag racing history!

Thanks!

As far as I know, there's really not much difference from '65-'69 so I don't see why that wouldn't work, especially for racecar purposes. I call this one a '60 and I don't recall why I landed on that year, because the resin kit I bought was sold as a '63.
