FYI the sticker on the hoist says " I love Dick" in small print Dick's last resort Las Vegas. I really need to take that one down.

Todd, your engine is going to have all the power the Tempest can handle! It will be a wild ride, be safe.

Default Wagon project

Pulled the wagon into the work bay to start the winter project. First item of business was to replace the transaxle, ropeshaft bearings, check the axle bearings, and install new rear bushings (4). Clark's Corvair supply sells rear bushings that fit our cars. Corvairs only use 2, so if you are repalcing the ones on a 63 Tempest, order 4 of part # C2051. Found the rear trailering arms need replaced due to rust thru issues. The hunt is on!

Hey AZMike that sounds really sweet!

My latest project is a 326 convertible, not sure yet just how far I'm going with it. Might part it out.
