ago.Heads look good,no ring ridge,the failed water pump was obvious.Removed
pulley,dampner and timing cover.3 teeth on the lower gear missing about 1/3
of each tooth.By the looks of it had been that way ...

Marilyn and I are back home from our three weeks in the UK, including
the SOC UK tour of Wales. We just followed the sun and wandered about
making great discoveries.
We were within a 1/2 mile (or half-hour - take your choice) of a

  I could be wrong; but I thought Oswald was: 1.) In the USMC, 2.)
flunked out of his marksmanship training and had to be re-trained and
barely passed.
   What I do know is that in Dallas in November; having lived there,

Note the apparent composition (material) and location of the temporary
fuel service! YEOW! (Actually, the car doesn't look that bad if you get
past the presentation. The padded dash is unusually nice for one of
these.)

Finally after a year of fixing this and changing that the 62 GT Hawk that I bought from California went to it's first car show up here in VT. I drove it roughly 60 miles each way to the show on rural two lane roads. Over all it went well, no major break downs, however the temp. ...

Since Studebaker brought Mercedes to the U.S. market, I guess it's not
totally off topic?  Maybe we now know why Studebaker and Mercedes stayed at
arm's length of each other.  Studebaker was very helpful to Mercedes,
helping them learn what was needed to sell cars in the U.S.  ...

Anyone know if the rear stainless stone/gravel guards were available on
62's?  Have seen a picture (an OLD one) in Turning Wheels of a car with
them but have only seen them in person on the 64-6's.

Twice now, I've had the sender out of the '55 due to it leaking there.
Using a new SW gasket, the first time clean and dry...the second time
using RTV to help seal, and it still leaks.  Grr!  The RTV turned to mush,
so obviously that FLAPS recommendation is no good.  What have you ...

Driving the Avanti to work Tuesday, cruising down Santa Monica Blvd.
with the sun gleaming off the paintwork, listening to the rumble of the
exhaust and basking in the admiration and envy of the brand X drivers.
Glanced right as I passed a gas station and waved to the driver of a ...

I've been struggling with removing the old spring bushings from the '63
Wagonaire.  After 42 years of damp, the bolts were rusted tight in the
sleeves and were a bitch to get out.  I finally had to put the impact driver
on them to rip the rubber apart between the inner and outer ...
