I ordered a set of Studebaker V8 main bearings from one of the larger
Stude vendors. They were advertised as Clevite bearings.

steers, and is full of good, original parts. This frame is in Fallbrook

Gas prices are pretty much unexplainable around here (Eastern Panhandle of
WV).  Monday, every gas station in Martinsburg was $2.499 for 87 octane.
Yesterday they were all $3.199 except for the Martins grocery store gas
station.  As I drove by I noticed that there were six or ...

Thought I remembered that '59 Lark body trim parts will interchange with '63
T-Cab... Did I really remember something real?  Or, did I just have a

We are going to start looking around for some minimally overbored 185" truck
engines as candidates for next year's car.  We won't be relieving the block
or boring for more displacement.  Preferably, of course, we want something
for nothing,  and don't want to drive to far to pick it ...

   Sal's done with the final detailing on the cheap 61 Hawk. Now I'll

Hawk, runs and drives " descriptions or I would have gone nuts ...
