My dad has a 1963 Corvair with a 69 nova subframe and floorpan and leaf springs mated to the Corvair rear subframe, it had a L79 327 Muncie 4 speed and 4:11 rear gear..... It pulled the front wheels and scraped the back bumper........ No it's mine and it's going to be fully chassied with an LS 6.0 and a single S488 turbo with a 2 speed powerglide with a transbrake and 4500Rpm stall converter... My dad loves your build.... His car was a car that he seen beat everything when he was a kid and now his kid is making it about 8 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile than he remembers it doing ..,.... It's getting a straight axle frontend, old school cragars, ladderbars, black paint with flames and mirror tinted windows....
Man im realy jealous now. like the way you got the battery located.dont want to sound to mushey but I'm realy proud of your progress. You are a man that does what he says. Thanks for the videos
Are you having troubles mounting your battery? I’m sure there’s not much room with a V8 in there! And thank you!! That means a lot to me! I hope to see you’re build some day!
I got a little a.d.d or something just now getting the wires hooked up for lights and breaks and motor.one day I'll figure out how to post pictures but I'm an old dog.thats why I use a big fat hammer some times.maybe a couple of years if I'm still around. stay cool.
Dude you musta been so happy. Awesome first drive. The car looks so Mad Max badass. Can't wait to see it with the cowl hood on and some suspension mods. Really great work!
You had me laughing lots in this video! What a fun ride, thanks for taking us along. Great to see it moving and not having to be hauled home! I'd never do anything like that. 🤣 Congratulations!
And where else would you buy gas in Iowa? Casey's of course. I have spent some time in Iowa, and Nebraska. The reason people were waving is because it's a 69 Corvair, with an engine in the front. I mean come on, how cool is that?
This is so weird… I watched another UA-camr (AutoTechAaron) and he also did a test drive to a gas station and I think he also changed the brake booster as well… awesome but a weird coincidence that it happened around the same time
That is hilarious! Auto tech Aaron is actually a good friend of mine and we both thought it was funny that even though our builds are way different we are doing almost the exact same thing!
That's crazy you say that about the vice I just pulled my old road bike out of the shed to get it going and the freaking mouse and rat piss has messed up some of my chrome or ate away the top layer I hate those nasty little #*#*heads!!!!
WTF is that thing 😮 calling it a corvair still is disrespectful to the corvair which I love and drive my 64 daily that thing is funky to each their own if you like it I love it 🤙🏾

Very well done! There's no reason to junk those old cars,even if they are rough! You showed everyone how!
Thank you! If someone was to restore it it would have costed a fortune! But I think this is a tasteful “compromise”
love the project mate, looks great, awesome about of fab and figuring it out
Hell yes!!! First drive!!
Now it’s you’re turn! And then I challenge you to a race!
All the backroads are busy. :-)
Weirdly yes they were. A major highway runs through my small town of 800 people.
What an absolute nugget!
Cant believe you survived the drive.
Love this build!!
I trust me car building skills!😂 kinda… thank you!!
I kinda like the stance. Reminds me of the old gassers back in the day. Some slicks in the back and skinnys up front would be cool.
It’s definitely cool! But not the look I’m going for, I’m planning on lowering it a good 5 inches
@@pissedoffpistongarage that will definately set it off.

Awsome job man love it 👍😎
Thanks man!
Nothing like the feeling of that first test drive in a project car.
It was truly a monumental moment! I was so nervous!😂
Congratulations on the maiden voyage, it’s awesome.
Thank you!!
So cool and ridiculous!
Very ridiculous! But very cool!

Never? Never ever?? I don’t believe you! It was a lot of fun though! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Like the stance
I hate it😂
@@pissedoffpistongarage have you decided if you are going to put air bags on it
The video I’ve been waiting for!💯✊

Casey’s is cool, but it’s got nothing on the king Kwik Star!

Yeah honestly, it is kinda weird.

It's GREAT 👍
bad idea why for? so many corvair rear rngine performance swaps can be done.
what was that scraping sound coming out of the driveway? lol
Everything and anything haha
The studded tires😂😂
Which engine is it. Great swap
Have you decided to use air bags on the stance
No to the bags. I think I’m going to just get a lowering kit that allows me to lower the front 5 inches
lots of videos lately keep up the good work!
Thanks Matthew! Hopefully more coming soon!

My name is Casey
Ohh because of the gas station lol. Yeah it’s a big corporation in the Midwest.
Whered you get your shifter?
I bought it at a car show about 10 years ago for $25
This reminds me of a face transplant
What size tire did you get from your dad
