Just drove the Hawk I bought on ebay home from up the street where
the big truck dropped it. Not much to report yet, but I could not resist
buffing out a half a fender. (I love buffing black paint)<g>

Where can you get repro door sills that go over the carpet under the
door? 1953 Lowery coupe

We have nothing like this on the SDC website, so, after contacting the
webmaster, I have come up with this.
I recognize that it still needs smoothing.
I seek comments, good or bad.

I feel like I've gotten my 64 R-1 out of a long extended hibernation.
It's been a whole year since I've driven it more than a few blocks.  It
is running fantastic - except for the brakes - they're scary!  Please
help me understand what is wrong with them.

OK... hopefully someone here can help me with my issue...  in my '55
coupe if the car sits for any length of time, it takes a couple cranks
to get fuel up to the carburetor.  Often the battery will run down
after only 3 or 4 cranks but then when I bring out a booster pack it

I have purchased some rechromed 55 tail light housings. They have none of
the wiring for the bulbs. If I remember correctly, they need terminal ends
with a spring and an oval shaped block that the wires pass through. The oval
shape keeps the setup from rotating when the bulb is ...

The 2005 "Meet At The Pass" hosted by the High Plains Chapter was held last
weekend (Sept 23-24) in Raton NM. The attendance was down about 40% from
last year which I attribute to the shock of  hurricanes Katrina and Rita and
the escalated price of petrol. All in all, we had 24 ...

In the Hemming Muscle Car it states that Nelson Bove has the only R3
Lark ever to leave the plant.  However I just got my hands on a January
1964 copy of Hot Rod Magazine and it shows an R3 Daytona.  Whats the
deal with that?  Also they show an R4 "Lark", what ever happend to that

I'm getting ready to "upgrade the brakes on my 64 Wagonair.. The car was
origionally a 6cyl with manual trans..
The person who I purchased the car from replaced the dead 6cyl with a 259v/8
& 3spd o/d trans from a 64 Cruiser..

Decent project car, engine looks like a fresh rebuild. Body is amazingly
straight and rust free - too bad the same can't be said for the driver's
side floorboard, which needs replaced.
