Has anyone bought the $129.00 floor mats from Studebaker International ?
The carpet ones with the embroidered Stude logo.
If so how is the quality and fit ? I am thinking of getting a pair for
Pinky.

 I started by buying this guys surplus spray paint, better then store
stuff and cheap. I then bought the carb cleaner, degreaser, spray grease
and more.  He shipps free with $100 and has saved me a ton on stuff I
use around the garage every day. N9 will be happy to see the shop ...

I have some bulky Studebaker items that I'd like to get rid of.  I don't
want to take them to York unless they're sold and paid for.  So, if you want
these, let me know, pay for them and I'll bring them to York (no charge).  I
can  take PayPal for them or checks or money orders.

A 56 G. Hawk owner will be at York looking for the short pieces of stainless,
about a foot long or so, that go on the sides of the Hawk. They go on the

Does anyone know this car?  It's in Wisconsin and owned by Richard Poe.  I'm
not interested in buying it but am interested in knowing how many Pace or
Festival cars there were... I guess making it a '62 convertible grabbed my
attention.  He says it's documented and was driven by ...

I just bought this on eBay without checking as much as I ahould have. I
have a 63 Daytona Hardtop with 3-speed that I want to convert to a T10
4-speed. I don't have a bellhousing yet, so I don't know if I screwed
up. It looks right, but the front flange bolt holes are definitely

I found a site that goes one step past the electrolysis rust removal set-up.
This is for bigger/heavier pieces... looks like it works great for paint and
I've used a lye and water solution to remove rust from some very rusty
pieces, but never anything thick enough to brush on.

Received the 1964 Champ production order today.  There is a section on
it that is crossed (scribbled) out that says the following:

to my '55 coupe without using the ugly (IMHO) stock units... saw some
backup lights on an old Beetle yesterday and thought that they would be
