Although this is a ford site, most of the people in this sub section enjoy old trucks in general.

It may be off topic, but I found it interesting and learned something new today. I've never seen or heard of the project. Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing the little wheelie bar in front was added based on experience!

I love Corvairs, have had several, but that thing must have been a real dog. Or did it have two engines? I couldn't tell.
