Have you fired it up yet? If not, when you do we need a video of your first burn out.

Like the blue flames Pro53! Also like the way you did the seats, would love to see a few more interior shots."

Pro53 Sorry I missed your question!
Pro53, so sorry I missed your question earlier about the corvair steering arm. Yes I had the speedway chrome short steering arm strip where it meets the steering shaft. It left me with no steering in front of the shop (thankfully there instead of at 55 MPH somewhere) Then the second one they sent me snapped in half while pops was driving the car one night. THANK GOD HE WAS NOT HURT!
I found an original Corvair arm off of Ebay, painted it up and have been fine ever since. The stock Corvair arm is longer than the Speedway unit so if ground clearance is an issue be careful. Pops might chime in here but Speedway was going to come out with a forged steel steering arm after they had so many issues with the one I had breaking.
What arm did you end up using?

I have the chrome one. I bought it about 3yrs ago. I guess it going in the trash Thanks though. I have all forged stuff but then had some of it chromed. I have a stock arm. Guess I guess it might need to paint it and put it on. I wonder who makes a forged one? Thanks for informing me.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
