Say, that tachometer doesn't look bad at all for a generic tach, Ross. A close match to find off the shelf. BP

We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

If the numbering used on that tach were just a little larger, the odd passerby would never know it wasn't original. Even as-is, it looks very close. Maybe custom print a new face for that one and call it good.
Beautiful car though. I'd LOVE to have that in my driveway.'63 Lark Custom, 259 v8, auto, child seat

The first time I saw a hawk painted that color I thought it must be a custom. My idea of the perfect color for a 61.Don Wilson, Centralia, WA

This is how I am spending my Saturday. My wife doesn't understand why I like to 'work' on the Studebaker so much. How could I ever explain how much of a sense of satisfaction it gives me. I spend all week in front of a computer at work. What could be better than being outside in the driveway listening to some classic rock and turning wrenches? It's like therapy really...
