I'm happy to see some of you customizing guys picking up on these Corvairs. They have very cool lines and once you guys get the stance right, they look amazing!
Thank you! And yea I always wanted to roof chop and bag a late model coupe so badly. I knew it would look killer with their body lines!
customizing??? what is that custom rust all over it??? It's a bag alright...a bag of (I'll be polite here)...poo. A little kid with a paint brush and a gallon of Tractor Supply tractor paint could make it look better then you would have something to do a Y/T video about.
@@bultacowally. This is Hot Rodding. Hot Rodding is personal taste. If the chopped Rat Rod look isn't your thing, scroll on to the shiny stuff.
Personally, I stopped painting vehicles about 15 years ago. I love the "field fresh" look and that shiny/rusty bare metal spot where I hang my arm out the driver's window.
Lots of people ask me if I'm going to paint them. I say "No, it took nature 50 years to make it look this good."
@@JohnLudwick been into minitrucks since the early 90s got my first one in 97 dodge d50 1989 my pop bought new.first juiced in the front homemade notch pete and Jake's 4 link and rv Firestone bags lol redid it in 2002 full stock floor frame on 19s glassed interior etc etc..but could never get my speedo to rework after the first time I laid it out and after that was like fawk it lol spend thousands on metal ,parts etc but as I saw doesn't hook up the speedo lol that's minitruckin shiite
Some early customs are out there too and don't forget original race concepts👍
Came for the Corvair and fell in love with the BMW! Never heard of or seen one before, that would be a cool car to cruise around in.
Thank you, Rick!
Same here, it looks like it’s on a VW chassis (pan?).
@@evanmarrs353 Those BMW 700s were rear-engined from the factory with one of BMW's motorcycle flat twin engines powering it.
2" chop is perfect on that. It's small enough that it's not obvious to the layman, but it looks PERFECT and could pass for factory roof height.
Matts off-road recovery, has the coolest, four-wheel-drive, off-road, Corvair station wagon conversion.
I never thought a corvair could look so cool! Really nice job on the build!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see it painted.
You experienced the inclusiveness of the Corvair community. We welcome ALL Corvairs!
I love it!!
Glad to see you have made it south. I will be in your town next weekend Memorial weekend' 24). I picked up a 63 spyder convertible this morning from a scrap yard that was headed to the crusher. It is a complete car with a title!! Can not wait to get into it to see what I have. Great video!!
Isn't it bizarre going to Helen when avf isn't there. The town is so empty! I absolutely love helen. Can't wait to go back. Glad the corvair guys enjoyed yours!
Me too man! It’s so crazy being there with solely tourists and old timer Chevy guys! 😂
It's fairly busy even on a regular Saturday
Growing up, our family had a 64 Monza convertible (110 / 4sp), later on I had a 66 Corsa convertible (140 / 4sp).
My Mom worked at a tire store and was given a free set of Michelin radials, it was funny seeing mechanics shake their heads when my five foot and a bit mom tried to tell them the tires weren't flat. ;-D
I read about someone, successfully mounting a Tornado drive train "behind" the rear seat (notch for a pulley) of a second generation Corvair.
Seeing that I thought about a transverse front wheel drive V6, then saw a video of someone using a Fiero drive train but it couldn't fit "behind" the rear seat.
The only way of moving the Fiero V6 behind the rear seat is to custom build Hummer drop axle adapters, but have them horizontal, likely mounted to transaxle? ;-)
Great vid, really enjoyed!!! 👍👍
Thank you!
@@JohnLudwick 🙂👍
Love your style and your work! You are truly a master artist of the classic, patina and styling. All I have to say is...... I need more!!
Thank you, Daniel! I really appreciate that!
THIS is the best looking Corvair I have ever seen ! Great job dude !
Thank you, John!
The shop that work for has the first Yenko corvair. Number 1.. first car Don Yenko ever built.
I love your Ford truck ! and the Corvair looks amazing too. Great video ,thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks Peter! I seriously love that truck! I’ve always loved the Aero-nose powerstroke Fords!
Awesome video guy's thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Edtruck-The turquoise rampside has your name on it!
I have two Vairs and I love yours. Very cool. Extremely well done.
That’s awesome! And thank you!
I took my bagged custom satin painted corvair van that I drove 170,000 miles in a little four years to a 100pt corvair show……..I got a 11 😅😅😅
Killer corvair dude
That’s amazing 😂. And thank you!!
Saw your car and was hoping to get to talk to you, guess we just missed each other. I'm ready for the next show!
That would have been awesome, man! I walked around your late model but you were also speaking with some people. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon!
Looks good! Nice unique Vair!
Looks amazing!!! As cool as she is i would love to see just how sweet it looks with a nice paintjob on it. OMG that BMW is sensational!
Cool I luv this somehow I wish here in Hawaii we would all the assortment of classics
Your corvair is awesome❤
Iv always has a soft spot for corvairs!!!
Yo I live in Chatt! Just saw the car in your thumbnail and check the vid and you said Chattanooga! Badass man!
That’s awesome man!!
It’s like driving yard art that is so beautiful 0:25
Man everyone really enjoyed your car, love it. I knew they would.
Thanks Elliott! It’s been a really awesome community of people over the last 10 years I’ve owned mine. They’re always so excited to see a young guy doing something different with a Corvair. It’s pretty cool.
The shape of your Corsair at 13:50 - 13:53 is up there with the the most aesthetically pleasing, Auto body shapes .
I'm in love with that BMW! Sweet ride.
Thanks David!
My parents actually had a 62ish red corvair station wagon in the 70's, centainly one you don't ever see today. My sister recently told me it had a fitting end and was sold to a guy that raced derby cars, it didn't end well for the old Corvair! Lol
Great episode
Thank you!
Cool video man cool my 65 is sitting on a s10 frame with a 350 and 350 trans.
Man,who cares if nobody else loves it . . As long as you love it,that's what counts. . . Built for you . . Not them 😆
Foam for seats and seatbelts ❤
been to Sowo with you a couple times now brother, killer content.
Thank you, Shane!
Love the "UNSAFE" license plate!
Thank you! My favorite part of the car! 😂
Those trucks would still make perfect appliance delivery vehicles today!
Great cars trucks vans- stuff I’ve never seen before ❤
Nice ride love those rims
Thank you!
A few people have made late model wagons. I always wanted one but I don't have the skill. In Brazil, there is the Chevy Caravan. Never got measurements, but it looks like a corvairish wagon but a different front end as it's front engined. Even has 4 round lights in the rear. Look up Brasil & Caravan. It looks like the two married together would be a great late wagon.
Awesome looking car
I'm from Helen. Crazy to see it now.
Few know this but.... Corvairs were conceived when someone locked a VW Beetle in the same garage as a '63 Impala. Not sure which was the mother but true story bro.
Love it
Thank you!
Awesome car awesome show awesome video Thanks 👍
Thanks Dennis!
Wish I still had pics of chevy dealer selling corvairs for $100 new. My uncle saved the motor mounts that saved corvair...
The first car I bought after discharge from the Navy was a corvair corsa turbo. I bought it as a turnkey for $300 in 1984
That’s amazing!
Corvair is bitchin' and that little BMW is pretty cool too.
Thank you!
Beautiful shaped car
You should get a wagon and put a late model front-end on it from seeing what you have done to urs i bet you could
That would be wild!!
Great work! I used to have 2 Corvairs, a Turbo and a 4 carb Corsa. When I first got the 140hp, it only had 2 carbs, I installed all 4 and it was transformative! I wonder how difficult it would be to add 2 carb mounts on yours? Also your BMW is very cool! (What year and model is it?)
You're in Chattanooga? Cool.. maybe one day I'll see you driving around there or past my place on lookout mtn.
That’s awesome! Yea I moved here a couple years ago!
@John Ludwick Hope you like it. And you should ride up sometime, there's a place beside where the hang gliders jump off that's great for pictures and awesome views. 👌
I love a nice bagged ride, static cars on the other hand…
You should put some super springs on that toe rig.
I was like "Chopped? That car isn't chopped, what does he mean?". It is chopped!!!! That's perfection, when a diehard car guy (and former '65 Corvair owner) like me will have to take another look to notice it! Love it!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
Thank you, Andreas! Yes, just a little bit made all the difference! I wanted it to be subtle!
I like it. Those things never got any respect except for a Very short time being Yenko Stinger custom race cars.
Is that Corvair a Corsa 140 mph speedo I own a 65 Corsa, I put 4 2 bbl carbs, I had the car running 135mph, It would not burn tire, But it was fast top end. Great little cars
He said it's a Monza so probably 2 carb 110hp engine. I used to have a Corsa 140hp that I reinstalled the 4 carbs. The 4 carbs really makes it scoot!
The Corsair is cool. This video came up on my list and had to check it out. That bmw is beyond cool and looks quite a bit like a notch.
I’m guessing that you have seen the Lakewood build that Matt’s off-road recovery have.
Ich Feier dieses Auto einfach total 🎉🎉
Du baust einfach richtig geiles Zeug ❤
Grüße aus Deutschland
Danke schön! Thank you, Luise! I will be in Germany in June!
@@JohnLudwick realy ? 😍
Ich wohne nicht weit weg vom Nürburgring,falls du Mal in der Nähe sein solltest würde ich mich über eine Nachricht freuen 😋😋😋
@@JohnLudwick where are you gonna be? Some car meets?
great looking car
Thank you!
So cool to see Red Bank while you cruise.
How many miles are on the odometer and how fast can it go? I noticed the speedometer. I use to do the same when I was younger.
I can't wait to drive the sports car designed and sold by Ralph Nader.
Love that car
Thanks man!
Sounds great! What cam are you running?
Hey I’ve seen your car on ig!!! Love the epsilons
Car looks great 👍🏼. What year is it.
Saw you did some photos with Tim Freedo Wilson and his EM coup. Was it in OC? during that non fest they have there?
First time to see your video, what are you driving to go pickup the battery, I see the BMW logos but it looks like a Vw!
It’s a 1960 BMW 700 Sport Coupe! Heavily modified and sat down over a Beetle pan shortened over a foot!
Price for a set of templets,plans info for corvair chop top
Should look pretty good once it gets some paint on it.
I want a corvair so bad!
Gotta get one!
@@JohnLudwick after I finish the projects I have going now.
the parcel shelf looks dangerous, the pizza might slip off and be forever stored behind 1 seat....
😂
Did you know that the Corvair was built to compete on race tracks against the faster racing Porsche's in the 60's ? It didn't work so they stopped building them because of oil leaks and engine fire problems.
i know where two corvairs are sittin in the woods in madison ga
can't understand why corvairs arnt more popular in the states they're one of gms best ever pieces of design . all most customisers do is destroy them with v8's and no vision
SICK AS F$$K!!!!!
Thanks!
@@JohnLudwick You are welcome! My dad has a white Monza 65. Has all the patnina one would want. You really built a cool car.
What rim size & width is that ?? U on air ??
9:12 -Peter Griffin
Famous for the southern "wortheseby" ? What did you say?
If you really Want to shine them On
Did you just find this Corvair with the perfect patina or did you work on the patina look yourself? It looks perfect. So does the BMW
Thanks Dustin! The paint is exactly how I found it! It sat for 41 years and I haven’t touched the paint since! All natural patina!
The rampside truck was super cool, not the one with the small block stupid waste of a cool truck
I also love the stock, weathered one more!
❤😂🎉😢😢😮😅
Another fucked up classic ... hellen is foothills 50 miles from smoky mountains
Rust is so 1990's.
Too bad they could not afford a Porsche.
Skip to 8 mins to avoid the BS! So? The Corvair's a trailer queen???
Not a fan of Fake Patina
Same. Nothing I own has fake patina. Everything has stayed just the way nature painted it 🤌🏻
Vair? Go ahead use Vair as a word. Makes uou dound like a simpleton.
Bro this car is soo cool...but that front end is very long gone, patina is okay but ahahh, awesome car thank you
someway i have to show you a picture of my 1966 Corvair with the 140 in it from 50 years ago, as a Low rider, and I had hydraulics on it front and rear, custom lights front and rear, and bench buckets seats front and rear custom upholstery and 13" 520 tires and chrome rims,,, are you on Instagram
Dang that’s awesome!! Yes I am! It’s john.ludwick !
I was really surprised the car you took to the parts store the BMW looks like a 2002 but I didn't hear but I thought it would be noisy an bouncing but I guess you have been playing with bagged rides for a long time it was silent cause I have a 75 c10 lowered an its got a lot of cab noise an bouncy but its not on air
❤😂🎉🎉😢😮😅
