Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Speaking of Corvairs... Waldo Davis. that man inspired me into auto restorations. A friend's dad, ole waldo was always out in the garage shop or in the driveway tinkering with his Corvairs. This was before they were antique but AACA voted them in as classics due to their otherwise historic value. Every nut and bolt on down to the stencil and crayon markings, absolute detail. Richard, my friend, had a Spyder convertible. I kept up with Waldo after Richard moved to Florida. I was 20 when I bought a '66 VW Bus. He let me pull an 85hp from one of his parts cars and have it. I feel bad I never did do that swap after he did that for me. I always wanted a Corvair-powered VW camper
