Custom 1965 Corvair with a LSx V8
Fast Freddie's Rod Shop transformed a 1965 Corvair into a race car with help from Midwest Metalworks. The car features a custom tubular chassis with C5 Corvette front and rear suspension. Each corner has QA1 double-adjustable coilovers and 18x12-inch wheels. The car stops thanks to Wilwood...

Did someone say....Transverse Mid engine flavor...??
This is a GREAT series on custom fabrication that could apply to any build.
John Reynolds is a master fabricator..!

That car has been floating about the many Corvair FB pages. The Corvair purists don't like it because it is not rear engined and air cooled.
But IMO...it is a great looking tribute car, with the exception of the roof line dictated by the Camaro body structure.
However I would rather own one of these than a Dodge Charger tribute example.
Just a shame they did not produce it as a mid-engine using the C7 Corvette as a basis.

John Reynolds has his LS-4 Mid Eng Corvair running....and he is sorting out the bugs.
His drone video is great and the movement of his rear suspension is impressive. This car and it's workmanship is a work of art...

He clearly excels in design and fabrication.
For troubleshooting and tuning he acknowledges his shortcomings and relies on others more capable.
