BODY PANELS
1960-64 CARS - 1961-65 VANS
1965-69 CARS
INTRODUCTION
The body of your Corvair was originally all steel. Due to rust, dents, and/or major collision you may have to repair some body panels. Very few original
panels are still available so we offer you replacement steel and fiberglass.

ORIGINAL PANELS: See "NOS" on website only – corvair.com
STEEL PANELS –
clearly labeled as steel
Some of these are stamped steel (like the original) and some are fabricated as close as possible. The panels can be brazed, welded, or pop riveted to
your body and the joint filled. In the body business it is considered "normal" for steel panels to have slight dents or slight surface rust – just a fact of life
– but we do our best to minimize this.
FIBERGLASS PANELS –
clearly labeled as fiberglass
All our panels are "hand laid". This is more costly but produces a stronger, better fiberglass panel. In some areas the panels will be thicker than the
original steel to insure they are strong enough. We have sold these since the late 70's with excellent results. Fiberglass does not rust, and can actually
"bounce" back from small dings.

SHIPPING
Most panels can go UPS or Post Office. A few larger panels can go UPS or Truck Collect. If they go UPS we cannot pack well enough so that UPS will
insure them. Please specify ''Truck Collect" for safety.
TRUCK COLLECT SHIPPING
This is needed for items too big for UPS or Post Office. You MUST PREPAY for the part then it is shipped COD for the freight (see "Rates" below). (The
trucking company does not charge a COD fee). However, many trucking companies charge $20 - $40 more for residential delivery. Try to have your
delivery made to a business address.
RATES
Trucking companies charge by a minimum of 200 lbs. and also by "density". Therefore, the first 200 lbs. (1 lb. to 200 lbs.) will cost approximately
$150-$350.00 depending on your distance from us. Usually 4-5 panels can be shipped for the 200 lb. fee.
10% Return Fee
As with any parts there is a 10% ($3.00 minimum) return fee for any body panels you decide to return within 6 months.
20% ($5.00 minimum) return fee 7-12 months.
