  • Lark Update

    I have been wanting to post an update on my 1959 Lark, seems that as soon as the weather broke here in Texas I got to tear into it. I removed the body and with the assistance of the members of this forum, I have replaced all the bushings in both the front and rear axles and the body to frame rubber. I replaced all the brakes lines both rubber and steel. I have replaced the fuel line with steel tubing, Thanks again Mr. Biggs. The wheel cylinders as well as the master cylinder are new. I derusted the frame and found it to be in really great shape so I followed Leonard's instruction and POR-15 the frame and made it look like it came fresh off the line at South Bend. And one last thing I removed all the 6 cylinder brakes and springs and used V-8 parts from the doner frame. The body was returned to it's home this past weekend. Sorry my story has gone long, I have photo's on a roll of film that I will post my progress. Again thanks to everyone that returns my endless e-mails with my endless questions on this project. That is the end of my endless story. [:I]

        Sounds like you are really making progress, Randy. You are doing all the really hard work now.

        Don't feel bad, every Studebaker restoration project I have ever done was endless!
