good though I didnt even consider the direction of the box. so what does a when you say reversed corvair box what exactly does that mean and what is a fair price for one?
the frame must of had some kind of motor mounts and skid plate mounts welded on to the frame then torched off, so I ground everything down smooth. i also cut out my triangular engine mount plates with the plasma, drilled the 3 holes and ground it down smooth with the table sander. pics. laterYou can never have too many projects. Know I just have to work on them

corvair box's need to be reversed because they work backwards from what is required. so if you turned the wheel left, the car would go right.. Corvair box's can go for as little as $50-100 if there good and tight, but you still need to reverse a stock box.. aftermarkets are available reversed, and generally in the $400 range. Wintec Fabrication sells rebuilt reversed originals for $295 IIRC.. they also sell a pretty trick raised mount that bolts onto boxed chassisLast edited by Matt167; 01-09-2011 at 02:17 PM.
