On the contrary! I think there are at least 5,200 very focused, very TECHNICAL, posts with just a few stray OT posts thrown in here and there.

BTW Kevin, are there more pictures of the Corvair since paint? The last ones I saw were before the last coats were laid and it was not assembled.

Love to see an update if there is one.

Sorry to report there has been little progress in the paint dept. The good news is the motor is running and everything in the back is being sorted out. I'll post some pics on AutoInno.com this weekend.

I'm glad you caught the inuendo Derek. (heavy breathing, heavy brething, etc.)

You Must have used "The Force" to have started such an incredible thread with so many contributers with their many fantastic tales of Mulholland lore.

More significantly, only a powerful ally like "The Force" could have motivated me to get off of my butt to finally restore The Mulholland Carrera.

MOST IMPRESSIVE!


and it's spelled "Whitacre"
