Improving my '62 Corvair. (pics)
I embarassed myself by posting my Eligor Corvair this morning in a discussion below. Here's the picture:

So I just had it in my workshop with these results:

Okay, enough hard work. Think I'll go take a nap.

It’s amazing how small details like what you’ve done improve that car.
Great beige color as well. Eligor did a good job with the casting, your detailing really improves it. Ralph Nader. not withstanding, the Corvair was a great car. Thanks for the pictures, David

Eligor didn't have to do much, except swap metal for plastic, as this was originally a Norev.
I once owned the plastic Norev, light blue in color and purchased new in the late 1960s. And Norev did paint the taillights. Many Norev molds passed to Eligor where they were used for metal-bodied models. My only remaining plastic Norev is an MG 1100.
