Hello Again We had a successful March Madness Meet even with the wet and

cold weather The night before I had decided that if we had heavy rain

the Saturday morning of the Meet that I would have to miss the first

March Madness Meet ever Understand that a little rain would not

bother me but we have over frac12 mile of dirt road leaving our place that

usually turns into sandy mud after a good rain However we received

no rain on Friday night or the following morning but about 1 mile before

Old Tucson there was cold windy rain We had a good time at the

Meet despite the weather On display there were 14 Studebakers We

collected 128 pounds of food for the Marana Food Bank who were

very appreciative of our generous donation

On April 5th we attended the Arizona State Veteran Home Tucson

car show The weather was great but there was only 5 Studebakers and

one Avanti on display We took the tour of the veteranrsquos home It is a

beautiful facility Our veterans deserve nothing less

Donrsquot forget we are going to Erniersquos Dwarf Car Museum on the

17th of May If you havenrsquot been there it is very interesting and Ernie is

a fine craftsman

Now herersquos something to consider We need fresh blood on our board At

our Thanksgiving potluck we will again be electing new officers It is not too

soon to think about running for office Training is available

If you have questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me at

The pics that I took are at the link in this email (scattered throughout this

publication) Barbara and I had a wonderful time Old Tucson was a great venue It had been 30+ years since we had been there I did get a few peo-ple in the shots this time with their trucks and cars The ride in the stage coach with Barbara Kim and Linda was a lot of fun A 4 day ride in one of those from Tucson to Phoenix would be enough to make you swear to never travel out of town againrdquo Scott Grainger (photos this page amp next

by Scott Grainger)

We had a great time at the Old Tucson Studios We walked around the film-

ing sets behind where the Studebakers were staged and through the building sets of the High Chaparrals Walked over to the other sets and then sat through the 4 dancing Cabaret girls in the Saloon stage area

After that we walked down to the Barbecue place where most of the Stude-baker club members were already waiting in line or starting to eatgood food Off the walking down to the Old Mine Tour followed by the train ride around the whole outside of the studio The railroad engineer remarked about Jerry Kaiserrsquos lsquo38 Coupe Express truck and asked several questions about itAlex told him all he knew After that we all walked over to the film Museum and saw a huge building containing a lot of clothing from the 100s of films filmed at Old Tucson Studios and also newspaper write ups and pictures Then it was off to explore the remaining buildings ending up at the EXITWOW what a GREAT time Even though we visited Old Tucson

Studios several times on ldquoFRIGHT NIGHTrdquoIt was really great seeing it during the day Alex and Kathy Shulick

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

When Ken Mooney performed a complete engine rebuild on the 1950 Commander 6 engine that

Bruce Sandburg gave me he also installed a new clutch pressure plate throw out bearing and input

shaft bushing in 1977 Since I was past the age of 16 as in no more drag racing I figured the clutch

would last forever WRONG Now 17 years and 23000 miles later the clutch appears to be on its

way out

I called Chuck and Chris Collins since no one in Tucson rebuilds clutches and pressure plates

(PP) anymore They said send to them the parts and they would get them built and send back with a

new throw out bearing (TO) and flywheel bushing The turn around time was very fast Thanks

Chuck and Chris

Nora and I drove the lsquo37 to GlobeMiami AZ (250 miles) for an Antique Meet on Feb 15 Jim

and John our friends from Michigan are back to pit crew a funny car race in Phoenix on the 22nd amp 23rd and had agreed to help per-

form the lsquo37 clutch job Actually they would do the work and Irsquod help by getting tools drinks and oatmeal cookies

So I started getting the lsquo37 ready After putting her on jack stands I drained the transmission (lsquo37 trans OD have 2 drain plugs)

marking the driveshaft with Whiteout for quicker reassembly and pulled it Also removed the OD cable speedo cable power brake

copper vacuum line OD mount wframe member and the carpet I was stymied by the gearshift lever Couldnrsquot figure it out Jerry

suggested that the cover was threaded but that didnrsquot work It seems that you canrsquot remove the lever without the trans top cover In a

rare Studebaker service manual error we discovered the top cover had 8 bolts instead of the usual 6 While I was getting things

ready I remembered that I had purchased a transmission jack 25 or 30 years ago and even better I remembered where it was

The boys J amp J came back from racing late on the 23rd so we started working on the lsquo37 on Monday the 24 By the way

the race was good They ran 329 mph in 1000rsquo J amp J pulled the main cross member holding the trans the trans and finally the bell

housing Imagine our surprise to find the clutch not only in good shape but it measured thicker than the new clutch we purchased

Now to the problems the TO bearing spring was broken 1 piece of clutch linkage was incorrect and the clutch rod hole was

elongated In the past I have had elongated holes welded up and re-drilled I called my friend Willy who is an expert mechanic and

asked him to help me weld the hole Willy said that the proper way to repair elongated holes is to fill them with a special kind of

bronze and then drill it Since bronze and steel are dissimilar materials the repair will last forever Learning something new everyday

is not hard when you donrsquot know much to begin with I cleaned and painted the main cross member trans and bell housing and wire

brushed all the nuts bolts washers and small pieces Tuesday am we were hard at work Everything went smoothly By 1 pm J

amp J had all the heavy work done and left for a tour of the Pima Air and Space Museum Then I installed the OD mount with frame

member and hooked up the speedo cable OD cable and battery cable Previously I had noticed that the fuel line and power brake

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

copper vac line were very close to the frame and had been rubbing I cut some short pieces of fuel line

and heater hose to act as insulators After slitting and installing them I put a large radiator hose clamp

around the frame and two lines to hold it all in place Next I filled the trans with 1 quart Redline and the

gear oil turned the battery on and started the rsquo37 Wow Everything worked Took the car off the jack

stands and cleaned the floor and cleaned and put away the tools

Now all I have left to do before Saturday March Madness at Old Tucson Studios is to in-

stall the carpet and wash the car The best thing that I did for this job was to purchase a

box of 50 pair of medical gloves They sure made the job easier and saves wear and tear

on the hands The three of us used about 35 pair in 3 days

John is an electrical engineer taking some time off from work I was given a Gar-

min GPS recently and really like it I was hoping to use it in the lsquo37 for trips to Palm Springs and etc All the 6-12 volt con-

vertors that I have found are $59 to $300 John purchased one for $599 installed it in his 6 volt hot rod and the GPS

worked great So he ordered one for me After I get it installed Irsquoll let you all know how it works

The week before March Madness we had 94deg days March Madness started out drearymdash64deg and it was overcase when we got up at 6 am

On the way to Old Tucson Studios a drizzle started We were the first to arrive followed shortly by Stanfords and

Wheelers The drizzle changed to rain A staff member at Old Tucson graciously opened up the barn for us I

remember the barn well Nora and I go to 5-13 concerts a year I always wanted to see Bo Diddley but he had

quit touring due to his advanced age I think Before the casinos came to Arizona Old Tucson offered concert

packages of a specified number of concerts at a very reasonable price We

saw Heart Pat Benatar America Stepping Wolf and many others For some

reason Bo Diddley decided to do one more tour and he came to Old Tucson

Just before the show started a heavy rain came and flooded the arena (due

west of the March Madness car show) Old Tucson moved us into the barn and

we got to see the Great Bo Diddley Yeah

I expected about three Studebakers to show due to bad weather forecasts but was pleasantly surprised

when15 Studebakers came The attendees included Gregory Avery amp Luz Lozano (Brand X) Mike amp Violet

Borens (lsquo03 Studefaker pu) Jon Carter (X) Lou Fencl (lsquo56 Transtar) Fred amp Nora Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Scott amp

Barbara Grainger (lsquo51 Land Cruiser) Jeff Jones (lsquo47 M-5) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Bob amp Eileen

Bruce amp Maggie Wheeler (lsquo64 pickup)

After a fabulous lunch at Jakersquos BBQ we pulled the winning tickets for all the donated items Then it

was time for the awards Jeff Jones won the 5050 drawing of $99 Jerry amp June Kaiser won Peoplesrsquo

Choice award for their fabulous lsquo38 Coupe Express The Best Steering Wheel award went to Kelly amp Cindy

Marion for the restored wheel in their lsquo60 Lark The cleanest engine award

went to Bob amp Eileen Loshbough for their immaculate engine in their lsquo61

Champ Gene Schreiner won the award for the best wheels Ken West

won the Hard Luck trophy with a very interesting story He had a tire low

on air so borrowed 3 quarters from his wife and went to an air machine

The air machine (do you remember when air was free) would only work on

4 quarters and the tire was too low to be driven so Ken had to walk to find

his wife and get another quarter SO Ken won the Hard Luck award

The hottest item on the Avanti Club silent auction (to benefit the

Studebaker National Museum) was a pair of dangling Studebaker earrings The bidding war started between

Violet Borens and Cindy Marion Chuck Stanford entered the fray after Cindy dropped out The high spirited bidding ended with Chuck getting the

earrings for $1500 I never knew that he had pierced ears We all had a good time

Interesting Websites

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp

Hello Again We had a successful March Madness Meet even with the wet and

cold weather The night before I had decided that if we had heavy rain

the Saturday morning of the Meet that I would have to miss the first

March Madness Meet ever Understand that a little rain would not

bother me but we have over frac12 mile of dirt road leaving our place that

usually turns into sandy mud after a good rain However we received

no rain on Friday night or the following morning but about 1 mile before

Old Tucson there was cold windy rain We had a good time at the

Meet despite the weather On display there were 14 Studebakers We

collected 128 pounds of food for the Marana Food Bank who were

very appreciative of our generous donation

On April 5th we attended the Arizona State Veteran Home Tucson

car show The weather was great but there was only 5 Studebakers and

one Avanti on display We took the tour of the veteranrsquos home It is a

beautiful facility Our veterans deserve nothing less

Donrsquot forget we are going to Erniersquos Dwarf Car Museum on the

17th of May If you havenrsquot been there it is very interesting and Ernie is

a fine craftsman

Now herersquos something to consider We need fresh blood on our board At

our Thanksgiving potluck we will again be electing new officers It is not too

soon to think about running for office Training is available

If you have questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me at

520-979-0065 or by email studeblugmailcom

The pics that I took are at the link in this email (scattered throughout this

publication) Barbara and I had a wonderful time Old Tucson was a great venue It had been 30+ years since we had been there I did get a few peo-ple in the shots this time with their trucks and cars The ride in the stage coach with Barbara Kim and Linda was a lot of fun A 4 day ride in one of those from Tucson to Phoenix would be enough to make you swear to never travel out of town againrdquo Scott Grainger (photos this page amp next

by Scott Grainger)

We had a great time at the Old Tucson Studios We walked around the film-

ing sets behind where the Studebakers were staged and through the building sets of the High Chaparrals Walked over to the other sets and then sat through the 4 dancing Cabaret girls in the Saloon stage area

After that we walked down to the Barbecue place where most of the Stude-baker club members were already waiting in line or starting to eatgood food Off the walking down to the Old Mine Tour followed by the train ride around the whole outside of the studio The railroad engineer remarked about Jerry Kaiserrsquos lsquo38 Coupe Express truck and asked several questions about itAlex told him all he knew After that we all walked over to the film Museum and saw a huge building containing a lot of clothing from the 100s of films filmed at Old Tucson Studios and also newspaper write ups and pictures Then it was off to explore the remaining buildings ending up at the EXITWOW what a GREAT time Even though we visited Old Tucson

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

When Ken Mooney performed a complete engine rebuild on the 1950 Commander 6 engine that

Bruce Sandburg gave me he also installed a new clutch pressure plate throw out bearing and input

shaft bushing in 1977 Since I was past the age of 16 as in no more drag racing I figured the clutch

would last forever WRONG Now 17 years and 23000 miles later the clutch appears to be on its

way out

I called Chuck and Chris Collins since no one in Tucson rebuilds clutches and pressure plates

(PP) anymore They said send to them the parts and they would get them built and send back with a

new throw out bearing (TO) and flywheel bushing The turn around time was very fast Thanks

Chuck and Chris

Nora and I drove the lsquo37 to GlobeMiami AZ (250 miles) for an Antique Meet on Feb 15 Jim

and John our friends from Michigan are back to pit crew a funny car race in Phoenix on the 22nd amp 23rd and had agreed to help per-

form the lsquo37 clutch job Actually they would do the work and Irsquod help by getting tools drinks and oatmeal cookies

So I started getting the lsquo37 ready After putting her on jack stands I drained the transmission (lsquo37 trans OD have 2 drain plugs)

marking the driveshaft with Whiteout for quicker reassembly and pulled it Also removed the OD cable speedo cable power brake

copper vacuum line OD mount wframe member and the carpet I was stymied by the gearshift lever Couldnrsquot figure it out Jerry

suggested that the cover was threaded but that didnrsquot work It seems that you canrsquot remove the lever without the trans top cover In a

rare Studebaker service manual error we discovered the top cover had 8 bolts instead of the usual 6 While I was getting things

ready I remembered that I had purchased a transmission jack 25 or 30 years ago and even better I remembered where it was

The boys J amp J came back from racing late on the 23rd so we started working on the lsquo37 on Monday the 24 By the way

the race was good They ran 329 mph in 1000rsquo J amp J pulled the main cross member holding the trans the trans and finally the bell

housing Imagine our surprise to find the clutch not only in good shape but it measured thicker than the new clutch we purchased

Now to the problems the TO bearing spring was broken 1 piece of clutch linkage was incorrect and the clutch rod hole was

elongated In the past I have had elongated holes welded up and re-drilled I called my friend Willy who is an expert mechanic and

asked him to help me weld the hole Willy said that the proper way to repair elongated holes is to fill them with a special kind of

bronze and then drill it Since bronze and steel are dissimilar materials the repair will last forever Learning something new everyday

is not hard when you donrsquot know much to begin with I cleaned and painted the main cross member trans and bell housing and wire

brushed all the nuts bolts washers and small pieces Tuesday am we were hard at work Everything went smoothly By 1 pm J

amp J had all the heavy work done and left for a tour of the Pima Air and Space Museum Then I installed the OD mount with frame

member and hooked up the speedo cable OD cable and battery cable Previously I had noticed that the fuel line and power brake

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

copper vac line were very close to the frame and had been rubbing I cut some short pieces of fuel line

and heater hose to act as insulators After slitting and installing them I put a large radiator hose clamp

around the frame and two lines to hold it all in place Next I filled the trans with 1 quart Redline and the

gear oil turned the battery on and started the rsquo37 Wow Everything worked Took the car off the jack

stands and cleaned the floor and cleaned and put away the tools

Now all I have left to do before Saturday March Madness at Old Tucson Studios is to in-

stall the carpet and wash the car The best thing that I did for this job was to purchase a

box of 50 pair of medical gloves They sure made the job easier and saves wear and tear

on the hands The three of us used about 35 pair in 3 days

John is an electrical engineer taking some time off from work I was given a Gar-

min GPS recently and really like it I was hoping to use it in the lsquo37 for trips to Palm Springs and etc All the 6-12 volt con-

vertors that I have found are $59 to $300 John purchased one for $599 installed it in his 6 volt hot rod and the GPS

worked great So he ordered one for me After I get it installed Irsquoll let you all know how it works

The week before March Madness we had 94deg days March Madness started out drearymdash64deg and it was overcase when we got up at 6 am

On the way to Old Tucson Studios a drizzle started We were the first to arrive followed shortly by Stanfords and

Wheelers The drizzle changed to rain A staff member at Old Tucson graciously opened up the barn for us I

remember the barn well Nora and I go to 5-13 concerts a year I always wanted to see Bo Diddley but he had

quit touring due to his advanced age I think Before the casinos came to Arizona Old Tucson offered concert

packages of a specified number of concerts at a very reasonable price We

saw Heart Pat Benatar America Stepping Wolf and many others For some

reason Bo Diddley decided to do one more tour and he came to Old Tucson

Just before the show started a heavy rain came and flooded the arena (due

west of the March Madness car show) Old Tucson moved us into the barn and

we got to see the Great Bo Diddley Yeah

I expected about three Studebakers to show due to bad weather forecasts but was pleasantly surprised

was time for the awards Jeff Jones won the 5050 drawing of $99 Jerry amp June Kaiser won Peoplesrsquo

Choice award for their fabulous lsquo38 Coupe Express The Best Steering Wheel award went to Kelly amp Cindy

Marion for the restored wheel in their lsquo60 Lark The cleanest engine award

went to Bob amp Eileen Loshbough for their immaculate engine in their lsquo61

Champ Gene Schreiner won the award for the best wheels Ken West

won the Hard Luck trophy with a very interesting story He had a tire low

on air so borrowed 3 quarters from his wife and went to an air machine

The air machine (do you remember when air was free) would only work on

4 quarters and the tire was too low to be driven so Ken had to walk to find

his wife and get another quarter SO Ken won the Hard Luck award

The hottest item on the Avanti Club silent auction (to benefit the

Studebaker National Museum) was a pair of dangling Studebaker earrings The bidding war started between

Violet Borens and Cindy Marion Chuck Stanford entered the fray after Cindy dropped out The high spirited bidding ended with Chuck getting the

earrings for $1500 I never knew that he had pierced ears We all had a good time

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp

publication) Barbara and I had a wonderful time Old Tucson was a great venue It had been 30+ years since we had been there I did get a few peo-ple in the shots this time with their trucks and cars The ride in the stage coach with Barbara Kim and Linda was a lot of fun A 4 day ride in one of those from Tucson to Phoenix would be enough to make you swear to never travel out of town againrdquo Scott Grainger (photos this page amp next

by Scott Grainger)

We had a great time at the Old Tucson Studios We walked around the film-

ing sets behind where the Studebakers were staged and through the building sets of the High Chaparrals Walked over to the other sets and then sat through the 4 dancing Cabaret girls in the Saloon stage area

After that we walked down to the Barbecue place where most of the Stude-baker club members were already waiting in line or starting to eatgood food Off the walking down to the Old Mine Tour followed by the train ride around the whole outside of the studio The railroad engineer remarked about Jerry Kaiserrsquos lsquo38 Coupe Express truck and asked several questions about itAlex told him all he knew After that we all walked over to the film Museum and saw a huge building containing a lot of clothing from the 100s of films filmed at Old Tucson Studios and also newspaper write ups and pictures Then it was off to explore the remaining buildings ending up at the EXITWOW what a GREAT time Even though we visited Old Tucson

Studios several times on ldquoFRIGHT NIGHTrdquoIt was really great seeing it during the day Alex and Kathy Shulick

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

When Ken Mooney performed a complete engine rebuild on the 1950 Commander 6 engine that

Bruce Sandburg gave me he also installed a new clutch pressure plate throw out bearing and input

shaft bushing in 1977 Since I was past the age of 16 as in no more drag racing I figured the clutch

would last forever WRONG Now 17 years and 23000 miles later the clutch appears to be on its

way out

I called Chuck and Chris Collins since no one in Tucson rebuilds clutches and pressure plates

(PP) anymore They said send to them the parts and they would get them built and send back with a

new throw out bearing (TO) and flywheel bushing The turn around time was very fast Thanks

Chuck and Chris

Nora and I drove the lsquo37 to GlobeMiami AZ (250 miles) for an Antique Meet on Feb 15 Jim

and John our friends from Michigan are back to pit crew a funny car race in Phoenix on the 22nd amp 23rd and had agreed to help per-

form the lsquo37 clutch job Actually they would do the work and Irsquod help by getting tools drinks and oatmeal cookies

So I started getting the lsquo37 ready After putting her on jack stands I drained the transmission (lsquo37 trans OD have 2 drain plugs)

marking the driveshaft with Whiteout for quicker reassembly and pulled it Also removed the OD cable speedo cable power brake

copper vacuum line OD mount wframe member and the carpet I was stymied by the gearshift lever Couldnrsquot figure it out Jerry

suggested that the cover was threaded but that didnrsquot work It seems that you canrsquot remove the lever without the trans top cover In a

rare Studebaker service manual error we discovered the top cover had 8 bolts instead of the usual 6 While I was getting things

ready I remembered that I had purchased a transmission jack 25 or 30 years ago and even better I remembered where it was

The boys J amp J came back from racing late on the 23rd so we started working on the lsquo37 on Monday the 24 By the way

the race was good They ran 329 mph in 1000rsquo J amp J pulled the main cross member holding the trans the trans and finally the bell

housing Imagine our surprise to find the clutch not only in good shape but it measured thicker than the new clutch we purchased

Now to the problems the TO bearing spring was broken 1 piece of clutch linkage was incorrect and the clutch rod hole was

elongated In the past I have had elongated holes welded up and re-drilled I called my friend Willy who is an expert mechanic and

asked him to help me weld the hole Willy said that the proper way to repair elongated holes is to fill them with a special kind of

bronze and then drill it Since bronze and steel are dissimilar materials the repair will last forever Learning something new everyday

is not hard when you donrsquot know much to begin with I cleaned and painted the main cross member trans and bell housing and wire

brushed all the nuts bolts washers and small pieces Tuesday am we were hard at work Everything went smoothly By 1 pm J

amp J had all the heavy work done and left for a tour of the Pima Air and Space Museum Then I installed the OD mount with frame

member and hooked up the speedo cable OD cable and battery cable Previously I had noticed that the fuel line and power brake

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

copper vac line were very close to the frame and had been rubbing I cut some short pieces of fuel line

and heater hose to act as insulators After slitting and installing them I put a large radiator hose clamp

around the frame and two lines to hold it all in place Next I filled the trans with 1 quart Redline and the

gear oil turned the battery on and started the rsquo37 Wow Everything worked Took the car off the jack

stands and cleaned the floor and cleaned and put away the tools

Now all I have left to do before Saturday March Madness at Old Tucson Studios is to in-

stall the carpet and wash the car The best thing that I did for this job was to purchase a

box of 50 pair of medical gloves They sure made the job easier and saves wear and tear

on the hands The three of us used about 35 pair in 3 days

John is an electrical engineer taking some time off from work I was given a Gar-

min GPS recently and really like it I was hoping to use it in the lsquo37 for trips to Palm Springs and etc All the 6-12 volt con-

vertors that I have found are $59 to $300 John purchased one for $599 installed it in his 6 volt hot rod and the GPS

worked great So he ordered one for me After I get it installed Irsquoll let you all know how it works

The week before March Madness we had 94deg days March Madness started out drearymdash64deg and it was overcase when we got up at 6 am

On the way to Old Tucson Studios a drizzle started We were the first to arrive followed shortly by Stanfords and

Wheelers The drizzle changed to rain A staff member at Old Tucson graciously opened up the barn for us I

remember the barn well Nora and I go to 5-13 concerts a year I always wanted to see Bo Diddley but he had

quit touring due to his advanced age I think Before the casinos came to Arizona Old Tucson offered concert

packages of a specified number of concerts at a very reasonable price We

saw Heart Pat Benatar America Stepping Wolf and many others For some

reason Bo Diddley decided to do one more tour and he came to Old Tucson

Just before the show started a heavy rain came and flooded the arena (due

west of the March Madness car show) Old Tucson moved us into the barn and

we got to see the Great Bo Diddley Yeah

I expected about three Studebakers to show due to bad weather forecasts but was pleasantly surprised

when15 Studebakers came The attendees included Gregory Avery amp Luz Lozano (Brand X) Mike amp Violet

Borens (lsquo03 Studefaker pu) Jon Carter (X) Lou Fencl (lsquo56 Transtar) Fred amp Nora Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Scott amp

Barbara Grainger (lsquo51 Land Cruiser) Jeff Jones (lsquo47 M-5) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Bob amp Eileen

Bruce amp Maggie Wheeler (lsquo64 pickup)

After a fabulous lunch at Jakersquos BBQ we pulled the winning tickets for all the donated items Then it

was time for the awards Jeff Jones won the 5050 drawing of $99 Jerry amp June Kaiser won Peoplesrsquo

Choice award for their fabulous lsquo38 Coupe Express The Best Steering Wheel award went to Kelly amp Cindy

Marion for the restored wheel in their lsquo60 Lark The cleanest engine award

went to Bob amp Eileen Loshbough for their immaculate engine in their lsquo61

Champ Gene Schreiner won the award for the best wheels Ken West

won the Hard Luck trophy with a very interesting story He had a tire low

on air so borrowed 3 quarters from his wife and went to an air machine

The air machine (do you remember when air was free) would only work on

4 quarters and the tire was too low to be driven so Ken had to walk to find

his wife and get another quarter SO Ken won the Hard Luck award

The hottest item on the Avanti Club silent auction (to benefit the

Studebaker National Museum) was a pair of dangling Studebaker earrings The bidding war started between

Violet Borens and Cindy Marion Chuck Stanford entered the fray after Cindy dropped out The high spirited bidding ended with Chuck getting the

earrings for $1500 I never knew that he had pierced ears We all had a good time

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp

The pics that I took are at the link in this email (scattered throughout this

publication) Barbara and I had a wonderful time Old Tucson was a great venue It had been 30+ years since we had been there I did get a few peo-ple in the shots this time with their trucks and cars The ride in the stage coach with Barbara Kim and Linda was a lot of fun A 4 day ride in one of those from Tucson to Phoenix would be enough to make you swear to never travel out of town againrdquo Scott Grainger (photos this page amp next

by Scott Grainger)

We had a great time at the Old Tucson Studios We walked around the film-

ing sets behind where the Studebakers were staged and through the building sets of the High Chaparrals Walked over to the other sets and then sat through the 4 dancing Cabaret girls in the Saloon stage area

After that we walked down to the Barbecue place where most of the Stude-baker club members were already waiting in line or starting to eatgood food Off the walking down to the Old Mine Tour followed by the train ride around the whole outside of the studio The railroad engineer remarked about Jerry Kaiserrsquos lsquo38 Coupe Express truck and asked several questions about itAlex told him all he knew After that we all walked over to the film Museum and saw a huge building containing a lot of clothing from the 100s of films filmed at Old Tucson Studios and also newspaper write ups and pictures Then it was off to explore the remaining buildings ending up at the EXITWOW what a GREAT time Even though we visited Old Tucson

Studios several times on ldquoFRIGHT NIGHTrdquoIt was really great seeing it during the day Alex and Kathy Shulick

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

When Ken Mooney performed a complete engine rebuild on the 1950 Commander 6 engine that

Bruce Sandburg gave me he also installed a new clutch pressure plate throw out bearing and input

shaft bushing in 1977 Since I was past the age of 16 as in no more drag racing I figured the clutch

would last forever WRONG Now 17 years and 23000 miles later the clutch appears to be on its

way out

I called Chuck and Chris Collins since no one in Tucson rebuilds clutches and pressure plates

(PP) anymore They said send to them the parts and they would get them built and send back with a

new throw out bearing (TO) and flywheel bushing The turn around time was very fast Thanks

Chuck and Chris

Nora and I drove the lsquo37 to GlobeMiami AZ (250 miles) for an Antique Meet on Feb 15 Jim

and John our friends from Michigan are back to pit crew a funny car race in Phoenix on the 22nd amp 23rd and had agreed to help per-

form the lsquo37 clutch job Actually they would do the work and Irsquod help by getting tools drinks and oatmeal cookies

So I started getting the lsquo37 ready After putting her on jack stands I drained the transmission (lsquo37 trans OD have 2 drain plugs)

marking the driveshaft with Whiteout for quicker reassembly and pulled it Also removed the OD cable speedo cable power brake

copper vacuum line OD mount wframe member and the carpet I was stymied by the gearshift lever Couldnrsquot figure it out Jerry

suggested that the cover was threaded but that didnrsquot work It seems that you canrsquot remove the lever without the trans top cover In a

rare Studebaker service manual error we discovered the top cover had 8 bolts instead of the usual 6 While I was getting things

ready I remembered that I had purchased a transmission jack 25 or 30 years ago and even better I remembered where it was

The boys J amp J came back from racing late on the 23rd so we started working on the lsquo37 on Monday the 24 By the way

the race was good They ran 329 mph in 1000rsquo J amp J pulled the main cross member holding the trans the trans and finally the bell

housing Imagine our surprise to find the clutch not only in good shape but it measured thicker than the new clutch we purchased

Now to the problems the TO bearing spring was broken 1 piece of clutch linkage was incorrect and the clutch rod hole was

elongated In the past I have had elongated holes welded up and re-drilled I called my friend Willy who is an expert mechanic and

asked him to help me weld the hole Willy said that the proper way to repair elongated holes is to fill them with a special kind of

bronze and then drill it Since bronze and steel are dissimilar materials the repair will last forever Learning something new everyday

is not hard when you donrsquot know much to begin with I cleaned and painted the main cross member trans and bell housing and wire

brushed all the nuts bolts washers and small pieces Tuesday am we were hard at work Everything went smoothly By 1 pm J

amp J had all the heavy work done and left for a tour of the Pima Air and Space Museum Then I installed the OD mount with frame

member and hooked up the speedo cable OD cable and battery cable Previously I had noticed that the fuel line and power brake

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

copper vac line were very close to the frame and had been rubbing I cut some short pieces of fuel line

and heater hose to act as insulators After slitting and installing them I put a large radiator hose clamp

around the frame and two lines to hold it all in place Next I filled the trans with 1 quart Redline and the

gear oil turned the battery on and started the rsquo37 Wow Everything worked Took the car off the jack

stands and cleaned the floor and cleaned and put away the tools

Now all I have left to do before Saturday March Madness at Old Tucson Studios is to in-

stall the carpet and wash the car The best thing that I did for this job was to purchase a

box of 50 pair of medical gloves They sure made the job easier and saves wear and tear

on the hands The three of us used about 35 pair in 3 days

John is an electrical engineer taking some time off from work I was given a Gar-

min GPS recently and really like it I was hoping to use it in the lsquo37 for trips to Palm Springs and etc All the 6-12 volt con-

vertors that I have found are $59 to $300 John purchased one for $599 installed it in his 6 volt hot rod and the GPS

worked great So he ordered one for me After I get it installed Irsquoll let you all know how it works

The week before March Madness we had 94deg days March Madness started out drearymdash64deg and it was overcase when we got up at 6 am

On the way to Old Tucson Studios a drizzle started We were the first to arrive followed shortly by Stanfords and

Wheelers The drizzle changed to rain A staff member at Old Tucson graciously opened up the barn for us I

remember the barn well Nora and I go to 5-13 concerts a year I always wanted to see Bo Diddley but he had

quit touring due to his advanced age I think Before the casinos came to Arizona Old Tucson offered concert

packages of a specified number of concerts at a very reasonable price We

saw Heart Pat Benatar America Stepping Wolf and many others For some

reason Bo Diddley decided to do one more tour and he came to Old Tucson

Just before the show started a heavy rain came and flooded the arena (due

west of the March Madness car show) Old Tucson moved us into the barn and

we got to see the Great Bo Diddley Yeah

I expected about three Studebakers to show due to bad weather forecasts but was pleasantly surprised

when15 Studebakers came The attendees included Gregory Avery amp Luz Lozano (Brand X) Mike amp Violet

Borens (lsquo03 Studefaker pu) Jon Carter (X) Lou Fencl (lsquo56 Transtar) Fred amp Nora Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Scott amp

Barbara Grainger (lsquo51 Land Cruiser) Jeff Jones (lsquo47 M-5) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Bob amp Eileen

Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ pu) Stan amp Charlotte Luczycki (X) Kelly amp Cindy Marion (lsquo60 Lark) Don McGraw (lsquo63

Avanti) Lenny amp Barb Olsen (X) John amp Kim Rodhouse (lsquo50 2R5) Bruce Sandburg amp Delores Shurtz (lsquo56 President) Gene H Schreiner (lsquo82 Avanti

II) Dale amp Norma Sexton (X) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (X) Ed amp Linda Smith (riders of the Wests) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Commander) Mal-

colm J Stinson Jr (lsquo60 Hawk) Stephen Stoner (X) Rosalie Torske amp Guy Hammer (X) Paul Vigne (X) Ken amp Arlene West (lsquo66 Daytona) and

Bruce amp Maggie Wheeler (lsquo64 pickup)

After a fabulous lunch at Jakersquos BBQ we pulled the winning tickets for all the donated items Then it

was time for the awards Jeff Jones won the 5050 drawing of $99 Jerry amp June Kaiser won Peoplesrsquo

Choice award for their fabulous lsquo38 Coupe Express The Best Steering Wheel award went to Kelly amp Cindy

Marion for the restored wheel in their lsquo60 Lark The cleanest engine award

went to Bob amp Eileen Loshbough for their immaculate engine in their lsquo61

Champ Gene Schreiner won the award for the best wheels Ken West

won the Hard Luck trophy with a very interesting story He had a tire low

on air so borrowed 3 quarters from his wife and went to an air machine

The air machine (do you remember when air was free) would only work on

4 quarters and the tire was too low to be driven so Ken had to walk to find

his wife and get another quarter SO Ken won the Hard Luck award

The hottest item on the Avanti Club silent auction (to benefit the

Studebaker National Museum) was a pair of dangling Studebaker earrings The bidding war started between

Violet Borens and Cindy Marion Chuck Stanford entered the fray after Cindy dropped out The high spirited bidding ended with Chuck getting the

earrings for $1500 I never knew that he had pierced ears We all had a good time

Interesting Websites

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

When Ken Mooney performed a complete engine rebuild on the 1950 Commander 6 engine that

Bruce Sandburg gave me he also installed a new clutch pressure plate throw out bearing and input

shaft bushing in 1977 Since I was past the age of 16 as in no more drag racing I figured the clutch

would last forever WRONG Now 17 years and 23000 miles later the clutch appears to be on its

way out

I called Chuck and Chris Collins since no one in Tucson rebuilds clutches and pressure plates

(PP) anymore They said send to them the parts and they would get them built and send back with a

new throw out bearing (TO) and flywheel bushing The turn around time was very fast Thanks

Chuck and Chris

Nora and I drove the lsquo37 to GlobeMiami AZ (250 miles) for an Antique Meet on Feb 15 Jim

and John our friends from Michigan are back to pit crew a funny car race in Phoenix on the 22nd amp 23rd and had agreed to help per-

form the lsquo37 clutch job Actually they would do the work and Irsquod help by getting tools drinks and oatmeal cookies

So I started getting the lsquo37 ready After putting her on jack stands I drained the transmission (lsquo37 trans OD have 2 drain plugs)

marking the driveshaft with Whiteout for quicker reassembly and pulled it Also removed the OD cable speedo cable power brake

copper vacuum line OD mount wframe member and the carpet I was stymied by the gearshift lever Couldnrsquot figure it out Jerry

suggested that the cover was threaded but that didnrsquot work It seems that you canrsquot remove the lever without the trans top cover In a

rare Studebaker service manual error we discovered the top cover had 8 bolts instead of the usual 6 While I was getting things

ready I remembered that I had purchased a transmission jack 25 or 30 years ago and even better I remembered where it was

The boys J amp J came back from racing late on the 23rd so we started working on the lsquo37 on Monday the 24 By the way

the race was good They ran 329 mph in 1000rsquo J amp J pulled the main cross member holding the trans the trans and finally the bell

housing Imagine our surprise to find the clutch not only in good shape but it measured thicker than the new clutch we purchased

Now to the problems the TO bearing spring was broken 1 piece of clutch linkage was incorrect and the clutch rod hole was

elongated In the past I have had elongated holes welded up and re-drilled I called my friend Willy who is an expert mechanic and

asked him to help me weld the hole Willy said that the proper way to repair elongated holes is to fill them with a special kind of

bronze and then drill it Since bronze and steel are dissimilar materials the repair will last forever Learning something new everyday

is not hard when you donrsquot know much to begin with I cleaned and painted the main cross member trans and bell housing and wire

brushed all the nuts bolts washers and small pieces Tuesday am we were hard at work Everything went smoothly By 1 pm J

amp J had all the heavy work done and left for a tour of the Pima Air and Space Museum Then I installed the OD mount with frame

member and hooked up the speedo cable OD cable and battery cable Previously I had noticed that the fuel line and power brake

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

copper vac line were very close to the frame and had been rubbing I cut some short pieces of fuel line

and heater hose to act as insulators After slitting and installing them I put a large radiator hose clamp

around the frame and two lines to hold it all in place Next I filled the trans with 1 quart Redline and the

gear oil turned the battery on and started the rsquo37 Wow Everything worked Took the car off the jack

stands and cleaned the floor and cleaned and put away the tools

Now all I have left to do before Saturday March Madness at Old Tucson Studios is to in-

stall the carpet and wash the car The best thing that I did for this job was to purchase a

box of 50 pair of medical gloves They sure made the job easier and saves wear and tear

on the hands The three of us used about 35 pair in 3 days

John is an electrical engineer taking some time off from work I was given a Gar-

min GPS recently and really like it I was hoping to use it in the lsquo37 for trips to Palm Springs and etc All the 6-12 volt con-

vertors that I have found are $59 to $300 John purchased one for $599 installed it in his 6 volt hot rod and the GPS

worked great So he ordered one for me After I get it installed Irsquoll let you all know how it works

The week before March Madness we had 94deg days March Madness started out drearymdash64deg and it was overcase when we got up at 6 am

On the way to Old Tucson Studios a drizzle started We were the first to arrive followed shortly by Stanfords and

Wheelers The drizzle changed to rain A staff member at Old Tucson graciously opened up the barn for us I

remember the barn well Nora and I go to 5-13 concerts a year I always wanted to see Bo Diddley but he had

quit touring due to his advanced age I think Before the casinos came to Arizona Old Tucson offered concert

packages of a specified number of concerts at a very reasonable price We

saw Heart Pat Benatar America Stepping Wolf and many others For some

reason Bo Diddley decided to do one more tour and he came to Old Tucson

Just before the show started a heavy rain came and flooded the arena (due

west of the March Madness car show) Old Tucson moved us into the barn and

we got to see the Great Bo Diddley Yeah

I expected about three Studebakers to show due to bad weather forecasts but was pleasantly surprised

when15 Studebakers came The attendees included Gregory Avery amp Luz Lozano (Brand X) Mike amp Violet

Borens (lsquo03 Studefaker pu) Jon Carter (X) Lou Fencl (lsquo56 Transtar) Fred amp Nora Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Scott amp

Barbara Grainger (lsquo51 Land Cruiser) Jeff Jones (lsquo47 M-5) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Bob amp Eileen

Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ pu) Stan amp Charlotte Luczycki (X) Kelly amp Cindy Marion (lsquo60 Lark) Don McGraw (lsquo63

Avanti) Lenny amp Barb Olsen (X) John amp Kim Rodhouse (lsquo50 2R5) Bruce Sandburg amp Delores Shurtz (lsquo56 President) Gene H Schreiner (lsquo82 Avanti

II) Dale amp Norma Sexton (X) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (X) Ed amp Linda Smith (riders of the Wests) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Commander) Mal-

colm J Stinson Jr (lsquo60 Hawk) Stephen Stoner (X) Rosalie Torske amp Guy Hammer (X) Paul Vigne (X) Ken amp Arlene West (lsquo66 Daytona) and

Bruce amp Maggie Wheeler (lsquo64 pickup)

After a fabulous lunch at Jakersquos BBQ we pulled the winning tickets for all the donated items Then it

was time for the awards Jeff Jones won the 5050 drawing of $99 Jerry amp June Kaiser won Peoplesrsquo

Choice award for their fabulous lsquo38 Coupe Express The Best Steering Wheel award went to Kelly amp Cindy

Marion for the restored wheel in their lsquo60 Lark The cleanest engine award

went to Bob amp Eileen Loshbough for their immaculate engine in their lsquo61

Champ Gene Schreiner won the award for the best wheels Ken West

won the Hard Luck trophy with a very interesting story He had a tire low

on air so borrowed 3 quarters from his wife and went to an air machine

The air machine (do you remember when air was free) would only work on

4 quarters and the tire was too low to be driven so Ken had to walk to find

his wife and get another quarter SO Ken won the Hard Luck award

The hottest item on the Avanti Club silent auction (to benefit the

Studebaker National Museum) was a pair of dangling Studebaker earrings The bidding war started between

Violet Borens and Cindy Marion Chuck Stanford entered the fray after Cindy dropped out The high spirited bidding ended with Chuck getting the

earrings for $1500 I never knew that he had pierced ears We all had a good time

Interesting Websites

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp

The Saga of the lsquo37 Clutch and March Madness by Fred Gooch

copper vac line were very close to the frame and had been rubbing I cut some short pieces of fuel line

and heater hose to act as insulators After slitting and installing them I put a large radiator hose clamp

around the frame and two lines to hold it all in place Next I filled the trans with 1 quart Redline and the

gear oil turned the battery on and started the rsquo37 Wow Everything worked Took the car off the jack

stands and cleaned the floor and cleaned and put away the tools

Now all I have left to do before Saturday March Madness at Old Tucson Studios is to in-

stall the carpet and wash the car The best thing that I did for this job was to purchase a

box of 50 pair of medical gloves They sure made the job easier and saves wear and tear

on the hands The three of us used about 35 pair in 3 days

John is an electrical engineer taking some time off from work I was given a Gar-

min GPS recently and really like it I was hoping to use it in the lsquo37 for trips to Palm Springs and etc All the 6-12 volt con-

vertors that I have found are $59 to $300 John purchased one for $599 installed it in his 6 volt hot rod and the GPS

worked great So he ordered one for me After I get it installed Irsquoll let you all know how it works

The week before March Madness we had 94deg days March Madness started out drearymdash64deg and it was overcase when we got up at 6 am

On the way to Old Tucson Studios a drizzle started We were the first to arrive followed shortly by Stanfords and

Wheelers The drizzle changed to rain A staff member at Old Tucson graciously opened up the barn for us I

remember the barn well Nora and I go to 5-13 concerts a year I always wanted to see Bo Diddley but he had

quit touring due to his advanced age I think Before the casinos came to Arizona Old Tucson offered concert

packages of a specified number of concerts at a very reasonable price We

saw Heart Pat Benatar America Stepping Wolf and many others For some

reason Bo Diddley decided to do one more tour and he came to Old Tucson

Just before the show started a heavy rain came and flooded the arena (due

west of the March Madness car show) Old Tucson moved us into the barn and

we got to see the Great Bo Diddley Yeah

I expected about three Studebakers to show due to bad weather forecasts but was pleasantly surprised

when15 Studebakers came The attendees included Gregory Avery amp Luz Lozano (Brand X) Mike amp Violet

Borens (lsquo03 Studefaker pu) Jon Carter (X) Lou Fencl (lsquo56 Transtar) Fred amp Nora Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Scott amp

Barbara Grainger (lsquo51 Land Cruiser) Jeff Jones (lsquo47 M-5) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Bob amp Eileen

Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ pu) Stan amp Charlotte Luczycki (X) Kelly amp Cindy Marion (lsquo60 Lark) Don McGraw (lsquo63

Avanti) Lenny amp Barb Olsen (X) John amp Kim Rodhouse (lsquo50 2R5) Bruce Sandburg amp Delores Shurtz (lsquo56 President) Gene H Schreiner (lsquo82 Avanti

II) Dale amp Norma Sexton (X) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (X) Ed amp Linda Smith (riders of the Wests) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Commander) Mal-

colm J Stinson Jr (lsquo60 Hawk) Stephen Stoner (X) Rosalie Torske amp Guy Hammer (X) Paul Vigne (X) Ken amp Arlene West (lsquo66 Daytona) and

Bruce amp Maggie Wheeler (lsquo64 pickup)

After a fabulous lunch at Jakersquos BBQ we pulled the winning tickets for all the donated items Then it

was time for the awards Jeff Jones won the 5050 drawing of $99 Jerry amp June Kaiser won Peoplesrsquo

Choice award for their fabulous lsquo38 Coupe Express The Best Steering Wheel award went to Kelly amp Cindy

Marion for the restored wheel in their lsquo60 Lark The cleanest engine award

went to Bob amp Eileen Loshbough for their immaculate engine in their lsquo61

Champ Gene Schreiner won the award for the best wheels Ken West

won the Hard Luck trophy with a very interesting story He had a tire low

on air so borrowed 3 quarters from his wife and went to an air machine

The air machine (do you remember when air was free) would only work on

4 quarters and the tire was too low to be driven so Ken had to walk to find

his wife and get another quarter SO Ken won the Hard Luck award

The hottest item on the Avanti Club silent auction (to benefit the

Studebaker National Museum) was a pair of dangling Studebaker earrings The bidding war started between

Violet Borens and Cindy Marion Chuck Stanford entered the fray after Cindy dropped out The high spirited bidding ended with Chuck getting the

earrings for $1500 I never knew that he had pierced ears We all had a good time

Interesting Websites

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp

Interesting Websites

Studebaker used an unusual muffler design which is virtually impossible to obtain in a neighborhood auto parts store The

remaining stocks that are available even from a bona-fide Studebaker parts dealer are likely to be old rusty and very expensive

For Studebaker automobiles from 1958 through 1966 both Larks and Hawks South Bend used virtually the same muffler

There were different part numbers which had to do with the quality of material of construction But they were basically the same

size An excellent interchange is the Walker muffler number 21064 This item was designed for the 1993 Mitsubishi Montero V6 30

engine It has a 2rdquo inlet pipe identical to the OEM Studebaker muffler in diameter and location However the body is a couple of

centimeters shorter This modern muffler has a heat shield on the top which should reduce the degree of intense heat permeating

the undercarriage and floor This interchange can easily be ordered The Walker 21064 has a lifetime guarantee The Studebaker

muffler did not To compensate for the slightly shorter body of the Walker use the Walker pipe extension 49006 the inlet orifice of

the extension allows a perfect connection with the OEM Studebaker tail pipe when trimmed to the proper length

Dan Dobbins of the ldquoStudebaker Times Postrdquo Volume 42 4 Whatcom County Chapter SDC reprinted with permission

On April 5th the parking lot at the AZ State Veteran Home quickly filled with 5 Studebakers an Avanti Corvettes Mustangs Morris Minor Prowler and many others It was a nice car display Many Veterans were out in their wheelchairs admiring our vehicles and chatting with their owners The Lions Club provided a nice fundraising lunch of hot dogs hamburgers chips cookies and drinks Cor-vettes outnumbered all other vehicles We took the tour of the $132 M Veteran Home What a gor-geous place with country kitchens in each building and outside covered patios for the veterans to take in some fresh air or have a smoke break Those attending Keith Ambs (lsquo63 Avanti) Fred Gooch (lsquo37 Dictator) Terry Louis (rsquo59 C Cab ) Bob amp Eileen Loshbough (lsquo61 Champ) Jerry amp June Kaiser (lsquo38 Coupe Express) Alex amp Kathy Shulick (Brand X) Chuck amp Louise Stanford (lsquo54 Starliner) and Bruce amp
