Salvaging some sheet metal for the '63 Corvair!

I took a little field trip one state over and had the good fortune of spending an afternoon with Duane, a Corvair owner and enthusiast who was kind enough to let me come over and help me pull the right rear quarter panel off of his 1964 Corvair. I used a plasma cutter for the first time, met the neighbor, met the neighbor's dog, met Duane's dog, chatted with Duane's gracious wife Darcy, and came away with a large piece of GM sheet metal and no injuries. MISSION ASSESSMENT: SUCCESS!

Happy to see you back. Glad you found some body parts for you car. That Man was very helpful, to say the least.Great that there are still people out there like that. As always I liked and shared. All my very best.

Thank you! Duane was tremendously helpful and generous with his time. Part of what’s great about the old car hobby. More to come, thanks for your support!

@@lostwrenchgarage Of course man! You're trying to restore a car while taking the full brunt of the internet, every subject matter expert groaning out "blarrrrgggg! You're doing it wrooooong!". I'm just here to cheer you on because I refuse to do bodywork on a car, 'cause I know it sucks.

I see that the rear of yours is rusted out as well. Why didn't you get the entire rear insread of just one fender? Its just curiousity, no criticism.

@lostwrenchgarage 3 месяца назад

Legitimate question. It may not show on the video but I think that rear panel was as bad as or worse than mine.

Don’t give up. It’s like anything new, you learn as you go. Then it just gets easier.. it’s an adventure!

Nice work cutting, grinding, etc. to get that fender off. And yes, it is good that there are people who still have desire to keep a vehicle like the Corvair on the road. The man who had the part seems like a really cool guy. Good that he was willing to teach you plasma cutting, and you were learning as you went. Nice job! I know you will, but keep at it, and keep the videos coming - long or short 👍

Thanks for the encouragement. This was a fun day for me. Duane was very patient. I’ll keep going!

@Jeff_Pendleton 3 месяца назад

Glad to see a new video. I checked your channel every week. Now I understand why you were kind of stalled.

@lostwrenchgarage 3 месяца назад

Thanks for staying with me. One thing I didn’t mention that’s making it slow is the fact that everything is so rusted together. It’s not coming apart easily. I’ll keep going though!
