We got (depending upon exact area) between ten and eighteen inches of rain in the last couple days. My building leaked from places I didn't know it HAD. This storm was worse than many hurricanes I have been through. No damage other than the usual ten thousand branches down, some didn't fare so well. I saw a LOT of trees down and stuff damaged. Many roads still closed and we lost power several times. One power company lineman killed. A very nasty storm. Had trouble getting to my house and ended up parking the old Chevy truck on the "hard road" and walking in. Alarm at the shop kept getting triggered, so after a couple trips I said the hell with it and shut if off until the worst passed. I set it today and will se if it is OK or maybe got water in it... Jerry, my '38 still has it's ORIGINAL upholstery...and is still pretty decent!

We got a good bit of rain over the last few days, but nothing compared what you got. It rained some this morning, and it looks like that was the end of it. I can see blue in the sky now! Oh, you just HAD to mention your old Commander... I'll trade you a '59 pickup and a 289 4 speed setup for it. <GRIN> Yep, I still want that old tank. That applied-in-1938 paint job is still presentable too! Hey, waddaya know, another post. Matthew Damn George thats as much rain we get all year.If we had that in a few days it would wash us away. My 37 had some good seat springs but not much upholstry. I have a 38 Commander also but it is just a parts car for my 38 Coupe Express.I am looking for some 38 fender lights would you have a pair?

Fortunately, my car has all it's parts... I do need one little piece of trim on one door panel and could use an extra dash center plate to hack up for a modern radio and inverter. Problem right now is TIME...I am so busy I don't have time for my own stuff... Jerry, didn't I ask you about shocks at one time or another? CRS.....and my email crashed a while back. Robert Kapteyn thinks he has a couple NOS rears if he can find them...he already got me one front and I got the other NOS on ebay. I also will most likely get some modern wheels and tires to use on the street as the stupid Coker tires are 'spensive... I was STILL sweeping water out of the shop today...and a small section of ceiling in one of the offices fell down...grrr.....should have cleaned the gutters.... Studebaker George George I know what you went through. I was in my building when the roof blew off. It took ten years of my life, seeing water pour in. Members of our Black Hawk Chapter came to help save as much as we could. I never forget the wonderfull feeling when I saw my friends come and spend countless hours drying parts and dipping them in WD40. I am still looking for these rear shocks. I know I have them. Bob Kapteyn No hurry on finding the shocks, Robert. My damage was NOTHING compared to having a roof blow off! I think if that happened I would say the heck with it and have a big sale... I probably would have had very little water problems if I had cleaned out the gutters.....give me the bonehead award... Studebaker George > George > I know what you went through.
