Corvair Turbo Charged Sand Rail

Hi Jumper III Frame modified to handle the horse power of a Corvair.

Corvair Power!!!!!
1962 Chevrolet Corvair Spyder Motor. This engine is equipped with a Crower reversing cam
and produces well over 180 horse power.

Aluminum beam front end and rack and pinion steering.

Rear disk brakes. As a matter of fact, the only brakes. No brakes in front.

Corvair connected to a VW box and suspension. The transmission was gutted
and all new racing parts were installed.  Right: Hydraulic Clutch Slave
 
 
 
 

All joints were ground to perfection by two gentlemen who are professional hand rail finishers.
They used 4 1/2" electric grinders with 24, 36, 80, and 120 sanding disks.
Entire frame was then sand blasted and painted.
