Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005My Daytona is alive!
I finally got the new tranny in the 63 Daytona today. Got everything put all back together and fired her up. She runs smooth as a button. But then again, you can't really hear the engine over the LOUD exhaust! It has no muffler at all. Man it sounds nasty! I will propably put glass packs or something on it at some point. i may do like it like our 56 Champ. TWO glass packs and dual exhaust. And that's on a flatty six. All the 56 needs is two carbies... But, I'm glad I got to hear the Lark run. No brakes, so I couldn't drive it. But that will be fixed soon enough. Hopefully, the car will be "finished" by the 2006 Georgia State Meet. (well, it will be a somewhat nice car, no trophy winner). Can't wait... Matthew (anyone know what a rebuild kit for a 6 cylinder dual master cylinder costs?) Burnette Superb Matt... Don't sweat whether your Stude is done or not.... Just get it safe to drive and bring it! Jeff "Matthew Burnette" wrote.. >I finally got the new tranny in the 63 Daytona today.

And I'm sure that it will make it to Gainsville in 2006 too... Matthew (if you don't come to Savannah) Burnette > Superb Matt... > Don't sweat whether your Stude is done or not.... [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Matthew (anyone know what a rebuild kit for a 6 cylinder dual master > > cylinder costs?) Burnette Those are my intentions Mr. Jeff. I'm not really worried about looks right now. I just wanna drive it. I know that it will get "done" soon enough. I'v got an uncle who's a Mercedes machenic. He's ganno get me a hood ornament for one to go on mine Lark. (ya know they kinda favor each other), so that when i drive it to school next year, I will confuse the crap out of people. I'm goona take all the embems off except for the side "Daytone" script. It won't have Studebaker or Lark wrote on it anywhere. I can see it now..."what a pretty Mercedes, I didn't know that they made a Daytona. Must be the really upscale model". Matthew (just me dreaming...)

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Matthew (anyone know what a rebuild kit for a 6 cylinder dual master > > cylinder costs?) Burnette I wouldn't do that... why have people thinking you're driving an old POS Mercedes? If you're going to do that you might as well sell it and buy an old POS Mercedes. Those who would question the Daytona model Mercedes probably wouldn't know that Studebaker made a Daytona model... or have even heard of a Studebaker. Lee > Those are my intentions Mr. Jeff.

With the hemi you're stuffing in your Daytona, you may as well buy an old MOPAR and have it correct. >I wouldn't do that... why have people thinking you're driving an old POS >Mercedes?

Burnette Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 I guess I'm not stripping off every Studebaker emblem off it and trying to disguise it with another manufacturer's emblems. What I'm doing is no different than what dozens of others have done with Chevy engines. I'm not trying to pass my Lark off as a Mopar product. I take it he's going after the "Wow!!! Look at that Mercedes" reaction, I'm going for the "How the hell did you get that in there" reaction. But it's his car, he's free to do whatever he wants... I just gave my opinion.

Even though my uncle is a Mopar Man. Lee, are YOU putting a HEMI in a Daytona? Matthew (my uncle has 2 1970 Super Bee's.) Burnette > THanks for all of your opinions guys.
