A Corvair saved my life

[darndot]

A Corvair saved my life. You will rarely hear anybody say that, and here is my story. I own a 65 Corvair Monza convertible, and let’s just say it was one step from being a parts car when I bought it. This little red junky car has been an adventure to say the least. After what happen in the fall of 2010, the car will have a home here with me.

I had been enjoying the car over the summer with the top down and the wind blowing in my hair. I have replaced most of the mechanical parts on the car, but have not touched the body work. Corvairs are Unibody, and I had a crack in the passenger’s door sill that was showing movement. I thought it was time to replace the floor boards, and repair or replace the door sills. I didn’t want the car to break in half while running down the road.

I hope you friend gets some comfort from my post. It been eight months since the surgery, and while I was working on the post it would bring back some of the emotions.
