Stripping the interior from the '63 Corvair 

Hold on to that 1962 penny and when the floors are finished and before putting new carpet in, put that penny back under the carpet. The ppl that bought the car when it was brand new probably put the penny there for good luck and obviously the car has had good luck to still be here , for you.

Hi Scott, I have a 1963 Corvair Monza coupe. Unfortunately the seller sent me a set of keys to the car that don't work. I want to get keys for the Corvair and I have a couple of questions: How many keys came with Corvairs from this period? Does the glove box key work on the ignition switch? I watched your videos on disassembling the car and saw that getting to the glove box door would be relatively easy. Thank You

Great detailed video. Thank you

I just came across your videos and you are doing a remarkable job not only De-construction but videoing the process for the rest of us. I learned to drive on a 1964 Corvair Monza in the early seventies. Loved that old car and have been thinking of finding another one to bring back to life. Your videos are exactly what I would expect I would be confronting if I were doing it. You are giving me the vision to know if I really want to tackle the project or not. You mentioned you are a doctor...by any chance are you a dentist? I am an orthodontic lab tech and rebuilt my 2019 Ranger from a bent frame accident, a little easier with a late model vehicle. I will be following you closely when you Re-construct your Corvair.

Original shifter knob. I remember well😀

Great video. Answers a number of questions that I have. Thanks much.

Hi. Great to see another video. Awesome your Son is helping. One tip if I may That hole in the part that holds the lug nut is for putting your washers and nuts on the axle flange. Needle nose pliers work great and a socket for the nut with some paper stuffed in to keep the nut from going to far back in the socket . Hope this makes sense . Keep the videos coming . Liked and shared. All my very best.

floor pans are are an easy fix,,,the rockers on the rag tops need to be ok

Great video there is so much to the disassembly you made it look easy

I had to pause the video, that intro killed me. Keep up the great work man! And yeah those Allstate belts are out of an old Sears catalog, hell, they may have been installed in a Sears garage. This car may well have had it's service done at a Sears, These are such underrated cars, GM is one of those companies that, when they decide to build an odd automobile, they do not go half way. What's up with the name on the radio? Gayle? I wonder if they did that to deter theft or something silly?

I would guess that the door shell on the interior was all red originally. Looks like someone rattle canned those and in the back seat too.

The item in question is to secure the convertible top frame in the down position. 20:55

Any more new videos of this?

Outstanding, My first car was a 1962 2 door automatic coupe. White with a Blue interior I bought in 1975 that lived on the beach in southern California. Between the salt air and ozone in the LA basin the floor boards looked a lot like yours. Fun times! brazed some sheet metal from the scrap yard (Hey I was 17) bought a carpet kit and I was driving in style till I traded up to a 66 Turbo Monza coupe. Didn't take long till I blew up the engine leading me to your next series. I'm looking forward to reliving that (kinda). Got to admit those little cars taught me a lot of what you can and and what you shouldn't do. Thanks for sharing.

I have a 65 Corsa 180HP with a bad body and a 65 Corsa turbo convertible with only a body. I plan to: (1) strip and restore the convertible, and (2) place all the ingredients of the one with a bad body into the restored convertible body. So, before I do, I am watching all the Corvair videos like yours I can find. Thank you for showing the way you stripped the interior, including all the labeling and placing parts into labeled bags.

Wow that interior was so much harder to take a part than a mustang. Wonder if convertibles are more complicated due to structral concerns. If you do decide to rewire the car, I do recommend American Autowire. I used their kit for my Mustang and it has been great. Easy to install and provides a lot more options for support of more mondern things such as phone charging.

I'd forgotten the trick you used for undoing that seat bolt of using a ring spanner to extend the leverage on the other spanner, thanks for the reminder.

Great video !! You're really doing it the right way .
