back in the late 70s my dads friend put a 327 in the front of a Corvair, for about 6 months he drove with the driveshaft turn right next to u, it was looped in, but he only had catwalk mesh spot welded to the hoops. u could see the driveshaft spinning. it was ridiculous. gearing was so low with the 4 speed he only did around a 100MPH, thanks for the video.
Some ideas on the wheel well tub clearance : (#1) move the rear trunk hinges inward on the rear deck lid, (#2) use deeper dish rear wheels that will move the wheel center inward thus moving the tires outward, (#3) use custom made longer swing axles that will move the rear tires outward.
Hi guys, Just had the thought that due to the rear tubs taking up so much height in the trunk space that the original hinges won't allow the trunk lid to close then is it worth considering using top mounted hinges in conjunction with gas struts like modern vehicles use for their hood mounting method...that would allow the current hinges to be removed completely and provide as much space as you want plus clearence for those enormous tubs. Great content guys and really build !! Cheers, Trev
I really wish someone would make a fiberglass replica corvair as a kit car with both air cool and water cool rear engines as options. I really loved my ole 66 Corvair Corsa back in the day.
The artistry involved in a build like this is truly staggering!
To make one inner section is unbelievable. But then to make another one, exactly the same, is amazing.
Why?
Talent and experience, i could listen to these guys talk for hours and just swallow the information.
This "behind the scenes" look at the work that goes into creating these master pieces is excellent. keep the videos coming please.
Thanks, will do!
Dayummm flawless execution!

Cool , great work!
So enjoyable to watch a true artisan at work.
It's almost like Scott has done this a time or two...Nice work, that is for sure.
man that corvair is gonna be badass, can't wait to see the finished product!
singing the algorithm blues. I like your stuff.
Thanks for watching!
Best description,
of the get down.
Awoke to this 5am Monday Down Under.
Good way to start the week 👍👍
Morning!
Thanks for sharing this video. That's a art form I wish I had.
I wonder how many years it took to be that good. Beautiful inspiring work
All hail the algorithm. Keep up the great work guys.
Love the Corvair!
Beautiful work!!! I so miss doing fab work like this, its such a treat to watch people who can make metal move into shape properly!!
Amazing talent.
8:35 genuinely made me laugh! 😂😂

killer build !!!!!
Thanks again
Great work! We have no good body shops in Miami for classic cars unfortunately. Great job

If all wide bodies were built like this I wouldn’t be such a hater of the modification. RUclipsrs ruined it for me but he kinda made me a fan.
Elle sont trop belle les jantes 🥰🥰🥰🥰

cool ass build
I could never tire watching Scott build shit. He's an artist. Scott, when you build floor pans, is 18 gauge your preferred thickness of metal?
CRAE CRAE!!!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
put a curve in the hinge arm that way you can keep the factory conections
You’re the fuckin man Scott !!
Boa tarde congrats vai amén bom trabalho
Bellissimi tutti i video, ipnotizza la vostra bravura. ma le lamiere che lavorate con tanta maestria, di che spessore sono ?
Make an aluminum hing arm , it'll be thinner and stylish
👍🏼👍🏼
