My sister's been invited to a surprise b'day party for an old friend who,
30 or so years ago, she tells me, used to own a few Avanti's and rebuilt
them.  She'd like to know the best place/way to get something nostalgic
for him that's Avanti related.  BTW, she's in Miami, FL.  Not ...

I have seen some feedback on the newsgroups on heads.  I do things for
a reason.  I use a flowbench and I know what helps and what does not.
Looks are definitely deceiving as far as our perception goes.  I
started using junk heads years ago as a starting point.  I did

   I decided it would be a good idea to get a physical this week and
it's nothing like the top to bottom check I'd get in the Navy.  I asked
the doctor why he didn't check my heart for example. He said the
insurance companies won't pay for 'routine' tests for low risk cases.

Somebody please save this Rockne sedan from the knucklehead who listed
it. I'm not sure the hood sides are correct (louvers should be slanted,
right?), and the interior has been gutted. Even if it's only good to
make a streetrod - at least an SDC member should build it & drive it in

I'm getting my 1953 Starlight ready for vehicle
inspection here in Sweden. One problem I need
to solve is with the speedometer. My dashboard is
from a 1957 Hawk and the speedometer is the standard

Richard Quinn has written a wonderful article on the Studebaker early
postwar years.  It is the best thing I have seen outside of TW but I
haven't seen the Muscle Car issue on the Plain Brown Wrapper and Ted
Harbit.  I don't know if this magazine in on the retail racks or only
