Let's Restore A Corvair



The thought of restoring an old Corvair is exciting. There are so many things to consider. So many things to remember. Acquiring the vehicle involves more than you may realize.

Be very critical in your examination of your potential project care. Any work that requires the professional touch will cost you. Remember that extensive body work can be very expensive. In the US the average hourly labor rate for body repair and painting is around $73.00. Add to that parts, supplies and any mechanical work you do not perform yourself.

Pay close attention to the interior. Upholstery problems may not pose a big problem, but avoid a car with a gutted interior. A true nightmare. Basically you don't want to pay a fortune for a car that will cost another fortune to restore.
