Hey Mr. K,
Back in the late 60s, I had a 1959 Studebaker Hawk with a 402 CID Packard Engine that my next door neighbor had had in a G-Gasser that he had crashed. He traded the Packard Engine, Transmission, and Rear End with me for the Engine, Transmission, and Rear End out of the Hawk to put into a 1953 Studebaker Coupe. In order to control Axle Hop/Spring Wrap, "Traction Masters" (remember them?) were installed. The Rear End out of the G-Gasser had four Shock Absorbers, and with the addition of the Traction Masters, it had absolutely no issues during hard acceleration

I had a 64 GALAXY 500 390/4S when I left for the ARMY. I also had one beautiful girlfriend to make it appear even better. Guess that may be a reason I am so interested in yours.
Am afraid that Ms. American doesn't come equipped with a "beautiful girlfriend", but I might be able to add a GORGEOUS Feline!

As for the KNOCKERS now, all I can do is smile and when she turns to go get a little misty ...
But you can still appreciate an attractive lady, especially one bringing something to eat!

Anyway, time to feed the Felines. Am working on Lorrie Van Haul's Sheet Metal Center Section's Draw Latches. Got one installed yesterday. It was quite a process. The second one will be done today. Should go a lot faster since all the stuff necessary to do the Caper has been found, and how to do it has been learned.

Take care.

JC
