Corvair Heaven

Corvair Heaven is where all corvairs go when they die.  I think I stumbled upon it only about 30 minutes from my house!  Of course if I were a Corvair, I might consider this place hell! Innocent

Now to find an engine.  It will be a diamond in the rough, that's for sure!

 

Hour 80 - Putting It All Together

{flv}construction/hour080{/flv}

In this video, I am putting all of the pieces of my main tank jig together.  Not much to report here as I think the video speaks for itself.  However, I was pleased to see that my LAST-A foam looked like it would hold its shape nicely in the mold!

Of course, now that I have it all together, I see a much better way of constructing one of these.  Undecided

I plan to write an article about this in my first issue of Q-talk.  I may even draw some templates for others to use if I get the time.  So stay tuned!  As always I invite your feedback below, or in the forums

Hour 79 - Main Tank Jig

{flv}construction/hour079{/flv}

In this video, I screwed together all of the jig formers that I created and then flush the edges on the table saw.  Next, I used my handy belt sander to sand all of the pieces so that they were exactly the same shape.

Next up I put it all together.  Does anyone have a pneumatic nailer.  (Boy that would come in really handy about now!)  Undecided
