Chevrolet Corvair 1965 Description

I have a 1965 corvair corsa in restored condition. I have done a complete resteration which has included striping the car to bare metal and replacing any rusted panals. The car is painted marina blue with a white top and blue and white interior. The paint is a base coat and clear coat job. There were no corners cut when I did the resteration in 2014. The car shows very well and runs perfect and is a lot of fun to drive. Her is a list of what has been done or replaced in the car

The whole car was repainted in marina blue and was pinstriped in white. The paint was wet sanded to a flat finish and looks far better than the original factory paint. The doors were off as well as the trunk and hood when the car was painted. All undersides where painted then reinstalled. This is a wonderful paint job that will last for years to come. German paint and primer was used. The engine compartment was painter the correct satin black.
