Every now and then I get a phone call from a Studebaker owner that is
restoring a car in a "vacuum". They aren't in the club, don't use the
Net, they are on their own. Just had one such phone call and it was
painful to listen to the guy. He is restoring a 48 4 door, just spent a
bundle getting the rusty frame acid dipped and Rhino coated, the car is
in a 1000 pieces and he's has to be 10K in already before chrome,
interior and paint work. He paying through the nose to get things like a
 master cylinder sleeved when a NOS one is $50. He's never seen another
48 4 door, so he assumes he'll be fine after he's 20K or more into the
car.<g>

I hope that you told him not to spend any more until he's joined SDC,
the local Chapter, and spoken with a few members.
Where is he?

   He knows there is a club, but not sure if I convinced him to join.

The guys that get me are the ones who know there is a club, but don't
want to join until they have their project all done and ready for
Pebble Beach.  'Course, they never get it done.

If he's that stupid, turn into an evil vendor.
