Maybe not the right place, but for those following the progress on my restoration of a 1960 Chevrolet Corvair, check this out.
I'm off to get more parts and put it together in January.

I have really enjoyed the progress of your Corvair. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

For those following, I got all the wiring finished and started the car. Set the timing and balanced the carbs. It drives beautifully EXCEPT the flywheel and or pressure plate assembly apparently was not properly balanced by the machine shop, so it has a bad vibration. Only drove it about 4 miles so far.
While we touch the body things and finish the interior I'm waiting on a new flywheel and pressure plate assembly from the US. Once it gets here I'll drop the power train to install them and go for a nice drive.

The electrical came out real well done. Here are a couple of teaser shots.
