Member Ed Raber has located a Restoration/Repair facility that can "Do-it-All". Shortly after moving to Jacksonville, post retirement from the Navy, Ed brought his 1964 Cruiser, Marshall Pursuit home to rest. After an engine and transmission rebuild he thought all was okay but soon discovered other problems. The power steering pump failed and left him at home. Efforts to secure a rebuilt unit from Studebaker International were unsuccessful. Searching for a repair shop he happened upon "STREET ROD SHOP" of Orange Park. Ed visited their location and found they were prepared to do complete restoration, including forming sheet metal panels and just about any mechanical or electrical work he might need. They have an extensive source for original parts or can rebuild them if required. Original manufacturers specifications are on/hand for most cars. Naturally, he put them to task. Price and time were
acceptable so he gave them his precious pump. It wasn't long before he was back on the road with a completely rebuilt Power Steering Pump. Ed highly recommends this operation. They can be reached at:
STREET ROD SHOP, 102 Industrial Loop Rd. Orange Park, Fl. 23073. Phone # 904-264 2400. Give them a call. I visited the location and was given a tour of the facility by the owner, we covered his automotive history and capabilities. I feel Ed has found a Studebaker man at heart and they will be a valuable source for repairs and parts.
A Southside Location: For mechanical/electrical work at reasonable prices our Chapter also recommends
