On the way home from Hershey swap meet I stopped by to visit Tom and Dave. Happy to report they are both doing well, better than last year. Picked up any molds and items I left behind from my last trip and got more tips on making rubber items and steering wheels. Many Studebaker owners should be thankful for the service provided to the members over the many years. Many show cars could not looked like winners without their parts. And after checking their hundreds of molds they made many one of a kind parts just to help one Studebaker owner with very little chance of selling another. Just good guys.

Thanks for the update. I am glad that they are doing well. I guess that we have all gotten older since I was last to their home/shop. I haven't even seen a picture of their Chrysler Hawk in some time.Gary L.

Well done, BobComment

Thanks for posting this update. I last saw the brothers at Reedsville 2018 and I'm glad to see that they're doing better.Comment

Here's their "TommyHawk" in their back yard, sitting next to Bill Glass' '56 Golden "Hawk From Hell", from a chapter meet we had there a couple decades ago.
The first time I visited them this field held about 170 Studebakers they used to facilitate the fine restorations they produced.

Very grateful for those who help keep these great cars on the road. This is the only way our hobby can be enjoyed and continue to drive these great cars. I am trying to locate a steering wheel which has been stolen on my 2r6 if anyone has any leads let me know. Thank you.Comment

There has been a steering wheel on Craigslist here for over a year. Perhaps contact them & see if they can measure what they have to what you need. I don't need it due to finding an NOS wheel near here. https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/pts/...786576126.html59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!

That one listed could be a Truck Wheel for '60 to '64 "C" Cab Transtars.
It would be a good thing to do as Warren suggested and get the Diameter Dimension.StudeRich

Agree with Rich. It appears to be the three-spoke wheel used on post-1960 large Stude trucks. I think the important dimension would be the diameter of the center hole and the spline count. That type of wheel was used on other makes/models, and they didn't all have the same spline count.Skip LackieComment

Those are the Former Shrock Bros. stock of cores that is now owned by the poster Rex, studerex.
Apparently he will at some point, start casting a few in Resin.
Hence my Post Number 9.
