I want to take this 1963 Corvair body down to a shell so it can be stripped of all its paint, rust, and everything else sticking to it. So I'm taking off all the bits and pieces a little at a time. In this video I'll remove the tail lights, disassemble the engine bay a bit, dig into a little more rust, remove the headlights and some trim, and take out the door glass, vent windows, and quarter windows.

Great job on your video editing! I feel like I'm standing there next to you holding the light! You explain everything so well and I really appreciate the original paint when you discover it. Looking forward to more tap,tap,tap from you hammer!

Thank you so much! I’ll keep hammering away!

Great to have you back. How will you remember where all those screws belong?? Love the quality of your videos.😊

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

Thank you, I appreciate your support! Not shown: much bagging and tagging of the various fasteners. I've got so many ziplock bags with screws in them... just hope I can keep them all straight for the reassembly lol.

Yup, another great bit of entertainment, I might have to find myself a Corvair...I have been looking...try a heat gun on the old bondo and it will peel off with a wide wood chisel. The leftovers grind off without too much mess.

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

I hadn't thought of heating the old bondo. I'll give that a try. Ultimately I want to dip the car and have it blasted. It might help to take off as much bondo as I can before that. Good luck finding a Corvair, I'm having fun with mine. Thanks for watching!

What ever you are going to do with the car I wish you allot of luck! I guess you really love the car? What are your future plans?

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

To be honest I haven't thought that far ahead lol. I'm just fixing it up one step at a time and seeing where that takes me. Do I really love the car? I'd say it's a bit of a love/hate relationship, and it probably goes both ways haha.Thanks for watching!

@@lostwrenchgarage I feel your pain and frustration. Working on corvairs since being 15 now 55 I have worked on a lot of corvairs one has to decide when to walk away

@JohnnyL6975 8 месяцев назад

@@lostwrenchgarage so keep in mind that there always something better to find for a better existing Corvair. I think you took on to much on the car. There is to much work and there needs to be allot of patience and talent to start a job like this. This is a restoration project $$$. Find a better suited car..

All in all this car is pretty solid, I've seen them rusted way worse. Still got a long road ahead but it'll be worth it.

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

It's pretty bad but I agree, there are cars that started out worse and still got done. I'll keep at it. Thanks for watching!

Whew, what a project! It’s enjoyable to follow the process.

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for following along. I just looked at your minibike channel. How cool! When I was a kid that's all I wanted. Never did get one. Maybe it's not too late...

Parts that have been together for over 60 years sure don't like to come apart. Good progress.

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

They sure don't. Thanks... it's coming along one step at a time.

@Friedbrain11 8 месяцев назад

Wow! It was asmr for me watching you take the car apart. Looking forward to more vids on the 'Vaor!

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! I try not to talk too much and just let the sights and sounds come through as much as possible. I personally think it's more interesting to watch that way.

@tectalabyss 8 месяцев назад

Great to see another video from you. Taking them apart is a pain, the fun comes in putting them back together when everything is clean and loads easier to work with. Been there. : ) I hope to see more videos soon. As always I liked and shared. All my very best.

@lostwrenchgarage 8 месяцев назад

Good to hear from you again and thank you for your continued support! The disassembly is challenging, but there is something fun and fascinating about the process, as the inner secrets of the car are gradually revealed. All the best to you as well!

@Jeff_Pendleton 8 месяцев назад

You were justified in sitting and taking a breather after that really stubborn window bolt. Lots of good disassembly today. It'll be so nice going back all cleaned, straightened, polished or painted or even some new parts and gaskets and new seam sealer everywhere. It's just one foot in front of the other right now...if you can, roll your car outside to grind off that putty. You are right, you'd have a BIG mess in the shop! Maybe you could heat it and scrape it off inside if you really don't want to move the car out right now.

Great advice on the bondo thanks!

If you were located anywhere near me, I’ve got the shell of a ‘64 that id love to get rid of. I’ve taken most of the parts off it for my main project, but the fenders are at least in decent shape.
