Lakewood vs Wagon interchangeability

I seem to have Lakewoods that keep finding me. Had two, sold one, now acquired another solid project. It needs a driver-side front door. Does anyone have one? (Just reached out to Steve Morton and Jeff @ the Ranch…) I think this is rhetorical but, are Lakewood and Wagon doors interchangeable? While ...

Re: Needed:Throttle cross shaft for my '63 greenbrier.

If Bob doesn’t have one, check with Steve Spilatro. He will have one, and his “drag-free” improvements are really nice :)

Steve’s email is spilatrs@marietta.edu

Re: Full Rebuild or Not

Thanks, I am not sure about the new engine part, I kinda want to keep the car as close to the original as I can, but I do agree that we need to get it running soon and a bit on a budget. Clarification - put a decent running engine in temporarily while you restore the original. Have fun with the pro...

Re: Full Rebuild or Not

As for rebuilding? Here is my thoughts, take them with consideration of what they are costing you. I would wait on rebuilding. Right now, I would look for a replacement jug, or even a complete used running engine. A 110 would be a nice upgrade. Just get the car running, then go deeper, if the two o...

They had good handouts and I took lots of notes - but…. can’t seem ...
