Barris T Buggy "the Project"

I have used it on rough surfaces before and it sticks like Dammit!

I do prep the surface to make sure it is clean, no dust, no dirt, no oil by products. For your surface, I would hit it with a hand wire brush to remove any loose FG strands and then vacuum the surface to get the last bits of dust.

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone

Thanks Joe.

I wrote to dynamat tech, and they said that if duct tape would stick,it would work.

Thanks Again,

Bill

Not much time this weekend, but got something done.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

I think this may be where the extinguisher lands to.

Sill wondering about the Dynamat, in the box. I might try painting with brushed enamel. And then see what happens.

Have a Great One,

Bill

Hello Guys #Sleep

Just letting you know that I didn't give up, just happened to run across a car I've wanted for a long time.

http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6091

I let it take more of my time than I should have.

http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=6304

Don't hate me, it's still air cooled. Laughing

So I have moved the Barris back to next summer deadline.

Have Great Day,

Bill

All snagged from E-Bay

Have a Great One, Very Happy

OK,,,,Hope this is the last of the Brain Farts...............

Thinking over what I had to finish on this car. Then remembered, that I never finished the clutch. Embarassed

AH Code, so I opted for the new style conversion.

So, as soon as the weather breaks, out comes the engine.

Anyone done the "sleeve" ?

Come On Spring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Still stuck in the SNOW Sad

Just gathering more parts.

I wanted the hood belts, but, the "SANTA" ones were not was I was looking for.
So, off to the local western shop.

This is what I came up with.

Had to add, that little extra.

I think it looks better than the costume belts. Laughing

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Nice Corvair Bill! Good work on the Barris buggy too..

So you got hitched on 7/7/07? Wife and I got hitched on 8/8/08!

Here's my wife's buggy...

I've been working on it on/off for 3yrs (when I have extra money)
It's should be driving this summer!

barrist · Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2014 11:19 pm Post subject: Clutch time

Finally got around to revisiting the clutch. I really did not remember what was there. Glad I took a look,the throw out shaft and bushings were questionable.

Those were replaced. Anyone have a better idea for installing the spring?
(I'm sure I didn't do it the easy way,no fun at all) Mad

New pressure plate and clutch.

And the most fun. It seems George was not concerned about R&R on the engine. No room at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sad

Butt, back together, and running..............

Have a Great Day,

Bill

OK, Here We GO !!!!!!!!!!! Laughing

New deadline,,,,,6-7-14,,,,,,Wish me LUCK Dancing

Inside of the "box" painted. So that Dynamat can be installed. Also, rear view
monitor installed.

I did ask Randy about the Bumps for his headlights. Guess they are to low without them.

Another one DONE ! Very Happy

Then back to some Cable work............. E-Brake done !
Working one pedals now..................

Have a Great One,

Bill

Thanks Tim,
I didn't get any replies, so I did "Both". I Cut the cable long enough that
I could go back to just the rope ties. See what happens.
And NO Ride Crying or Very sad

,,,,Old master cylinder, would not cooperate. Picked a new one up today.

I did manage to fight the pedals in.......

Need to clean-up, but in. (trapping the carpet, is NOT that easy of a job)

Rearview up and working.

Dynamat installed in box.

And shifter with knob in.

Have a Great Day,

Bill
