Great pictures. Looked like a fabulously executed job.
Love it.

Just as a shout out to Carlie & A-Plan, they just insured this Prowler-Corvair (140) with agreed value classic cover of £20k for £108. How is that even possible!

Great service.

That is an awesome build - love the detail on everything.

Love it great attention to detail and quality workmanship 

Did you rebuild the engine. Where did you source it .
Paul

Bought the engine from Rob Kilham, (it's a 140), and was rebuilt by him a few hours running ago, but he openly says he's no engineer, and I rather suspect I will be puiling it down at some point soon, as I don't feel completely happy with it. I re-did all the tinware, built a new alternator (quite a specific front frame for the corvair) and generally tidied it up, but a full pull down is I think inevitable.
I will likely also ditch the Holley in favour of a pair of twin downdraughts, (probably the Empi built 40's). annoying, as I (today) built the odd air cleaner box to fit around the body! ho hum

Next stop roll bar....

My first car was a Beach Buggy, 40 years ago! :-/

Had a Manta Ray some time after that. now just re living a bit of my yoot!

I love old buggy photos 

Getting there...
