Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / March 2008Talk about a rig....
And a dangerous one at that....look at fuel pump mount on this thing...makes you wonder about the rest of the "conversion"... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Studebaker-Hawk-2dr-sedan-Kentucky_W0QQitemZ22021 4626951QQihZ012QQcategoryZ6466QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Studebaker George Did'ja see the copper gas line along the frame, too?

Nobody saying ANYTHING about that mess... Studebaker George I gotta go with you on that... But a frame mounted electric pump is fine using the original fuel line routing which is what I did with the Lark, truck and '55 Prez. Oh, and the dash pad is hideous!

Electrical Tape? This may rival the wretched wrenching lurking in your '59, Ski. Dave Lawdy...the more I look... The shocks don't appear to be correct...notice the spacer and the bottom of the shock...lots of glitzy paint to hide stuff. The more I see, the more I keep tellin' the 'ol lady that my cars are worth WAY more than I used to think...and she better not GIVE the damn things away when I am in the dirt... If that car is worth twelve or so then my 59 is worth TWENTY.....and my Daytona is worth at least TEN... The 38's value doesn't matter as I will be buried in it.....

The 38's value doesn't matter as I will be buried in it..... > Studebaker George looks like he moved the shock mount inboard for some reason... the spacer is correct but I don't know WTF is with the electrical tape. Needs some new bushings too... aw hell just new shocks, they're not that expensive. Makes me feel better about my own car... the interior may be trash, but I know the underside is RIGHT. nate Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel >> Lawdy...the more I look... >> The shocks don't appear to be correct...notice the spacer and the [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > nate just looked at the driver side, the shock and mount actually looked about right - maybe the angle faked me out on the pass. side - but there's that tape again, and DID HE RUN THE FUEL LINE BETWEEN THE SHOCK AND SPRING...? I gotta stop looking now. nate Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel Nate, IIRC that space doesn't belong on that year and I don't think the shocks are correct at all...and that is probably the reason for the tape (or whatever the hell it is) and the spacer. Studebaker George BTW, I just sold one of my "Ford" clocks to the owner of your old Daytona... And forgot ot ask you if you ever got the AC pics I sent you quite a while back when you were "pondering" the AC stuff... Studebaker George > And forgot ot ask you if you ever got the AC pics I sent you quite a > while back when you were "pondering" the AC stuff... > Studebaker George yes, I did, thanks. I *think* I have 95% of the stuff to properly mount the compressor, save for the actual adapter bracket. Now I just need a free weekend or two where I don't have something else crucial to do... nate Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel > Nate, IIRC that space doesn't belong on that year and I don't think > the shocks are correct at all...and that is probably the reason for > the tape (or whatever the hell it is) and the spacer. > Studebaker George > BTW, I just sold one of my "Ford" clocks to the owner of your old > Daytona... Probably not, but it'd be trivial to backdate the shocks, then you could use Jeep CJ shocks which is what I assume he did. I hope that car is doing well, I just knew I'd end up cutting it up and hotrodding it if I kept it. nate Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel "The 38's value doesn't matter as I will be buried in it..... " I'm looking for a reasonably priced excavator in the Tallahassee area. Lemme know if you find one. <G> Matthew You laugh Matthew... Wait until/if you ever have any big critters.... You always find out the local that has a big backhoe that you can beg/borrow/steal for a few brewskies.. You ever have to bury a horse/beef/cow/pig? George and his '38 would be easy... Dig a hole big enough for the urn, and roto-till the outline of the '38.. Ebay it quick and the world would never know.. <boseg> (We're here to help ya' George...)

" SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com LOL...Ah, Jeffy...I think Matthew is looking to DIG UP the 38 and shove my stinkin' corpse out of the thing...he would have to bribe the 'ol lady to find out where it is buried...but in reality the bribe would come before I went down as I would never know... But...I could be one helluva GHOST.....just take the car to various Stude shows and I will make sure to bother the a.sholes who deserve a little haunting.... Studebaker George > And a dangerous one at that....look at fuel pump mount on this > thing...makes you wonder about the rest of the "conversion"...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Studebaker-Hawk-2dr-sedan-Kentucky_W0Q... > Studebaker George Isn't that where TK (of diesel fame) lives? If anyone is really interested in having answers, maybe he could help. Yep, I gonna dig up the '38 after you get buried in it. Hey, would you do me the favor of putting something over the car so it doesn't mess up the 1938-Studebaker-applied paint job? And make sure you're in a plastic bag or somethin' so you don't ruin the mole hair seats. Haha!! Matthew You will have to take that up with the 'ol lady as I don't think I will be able to do that...<G> Studebaker George OK , I can understand a frame mounted fuel pump. And the Holley Red pump is a good pump for the price. But this is mounted to the rear axel. It's going to be shaken it like an 19 year old Stripper. Some how that doesn't seem right (the fuel pump, not the stripper) Tony in Austin > OK , I can understand a frame mounted fuel pump. And the Holley Red > pump is a good pump for the price.

At least they didn't use tie wraps.. <G> JT >>Tony in Austin wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> >>JT I looked and read all your points but no one spoke of the muffer pipe resting on the cross member and how that issue would act on the said pipe with the motor running ??? But seeing this seems to be in keeping with the general re build of this poor car... Lansing The older you get the faster your life goes... Lansing Remove X in address to e-mail me...Fight Spam... |
