We finally got the body painted on this '65 Corvair Corsa Convertible and it is looking much better!
Things went very smoothly. as we did not find any rust on the sheet metal and just had a few dings to repair. Looks to be the original sheet metal and doesn't appear as if the car has been in any accidents or at least no major accidents. Guess living in Central California was a good life for this Black Plate California '65 Corvair Corsa Convertible.
Thought about changing colors but then decided no. Went with the original color - Cypress Green - using Dupont's Base/Clear material. Next task is to give it a few coats of Clear and then buff it out. Once this is done we will move on to the interior. Going to paint the dash and metal on the doors a nice Tan color. I have always like the Dark Green/Tan color combos. The Dash on this '65 Corvair Corsa Convertible does not have a pad on it and I understand the pad was an option for '65 and then became a standard on all Corvairs in '66.
Big question is - Should we go with a standard factory stock replacement interior from one of the good parts houses or should we talk to our local upholstery shop about a nice Custom Interior for this '65 Corvair Corsa Convertible? Leaning towards a nice Custom Job.
Need to be thinking about wheels and tires. What looks good on a '65 Corvair /Corsa Convertible?
