Mine carries the plate from the donor bug it was built from. Never have been questioned. I live in the Cascades in Western Washington. I've had it in Vegas, Baja, and Sand Hollow. I just make sure I'm driving respectful. NO HOTROD ANTICS ON THE ROAD! Was told once in WA, at a gas station by state patrol, my lack of fenders could be an issue. But only if they were causing a problem. Meaning only when raining or on a dusty dirt road kicking up debris. Have fun all.

At 76 Im still learning lots about vehicles more so Corvairs. You just don't see many Corvairs here In England. But I hope your Dad kindly explained about abusing your sand buggy, but yes I know it was fun - while it lasted. OK, colours. I raced In 4 different formulas here In Hot Rod class, "Banger class" which saloon cars or estates (sedans or wagons In American) racing 1/4 mile ovals but full hard contact Is allowed - great fun, and I also raced single seat Stock Cars with big push bars all around it, very good fun, but, my racing colours were Purple and yellow. Yellow roof and roof supports the body purple. Love your channel, so different to your dads or fab rats.. To include Merlin's also. All good in their own way. thank you.

You must not have warched old MORR videos then. Rudy was a regular on MORR for the first years, both doing fabrication and off-road recoveries. But the he decided to spread his wings and leave MORR to start on his own with this RAD channel instead. Rudy is Matt's oldest son from a previous relationship (his mum is Canadian, and Rudy has lived in Canada too). Rudy has 3 younger half-brothers on his dad's side, Kaulin, Rhett, and Karter. Since Rudy left the MORR channel, Kaulin and Rhett has started featuring more and MORR on the channel, while the youngest brother Karter still only does a short cameo once in a while whitout saying much. Rudy's previous girlfriend was also part of the MORR channel mostly filming, from time to time, while his new girlfriend ofte films for this RAD channel. We know Rudy also has a younger half-brother on his mother's side, as he has featured on this RAD channel filming etc.

Alternate method for pilot bearing removal - grab a handful of paper out of your shredder & put it in a bucket of water to soak. Take a break for lunch and use your bread for a sandwich. After lunch stuff the soggy paper into the bearing & from there the process is the same. Great that your dad is the hoarder of most every used Corvair and their spare parts LOL!

So the "bread" trick is a version of hydraulic jacking. This is pretty common in tool and die shops if you have a sleeve or bushing in a dead end hole. fill a good portion with heavy grease and use a nice close fit pin as a punch and it will push out the bushing/sleeve when you hammer on it. Normally that wouldn't work with something that is open like a socket. The break must just be denser to make it work.
