It seemed to me that I stiil (sic)on the curb infront of my house about
that year, with a sign saying "Hubcaps for sale." Scattered abou me
were several that I found along the roadway and tried to unload. It
was my first try at self-employment - as successful as those that
followed.

You should have just save them for about 60 years Karl, you could sell them
now!<G>

I'm sure he'll be in touch ( and receptive), if we need
something. No one would invest that much time and expertise
and then drop it without another venture in the offing.
Many of us are a lot older than he. It might be that he's
trading marques to generate more traffic for his virtues.
Can't blame him for that...
( I just hope no one (of us) got him PO'd about something)

Heaven forbid someone should criticize the great and powerful Nemesh.
If a little bit of criticism sent him running, then 'bye bye.
Y'all get a friggin' grip.

LOL!
Must have been him, he is the one leaving and pissed off...

Anyone know why Nimesh is leaving the Stude hobby? Seems like it was only a
couple of months ago that the new website was up with some ballyhoo here on
the NG. I suspect he ran smack into the "frugal" Stude lover syndrome. I am
quite sure his knowledge and skills weren't a factor but how many hi-po
engines can you sell given the small number of Avantis and suitable
Hawk/Lark examples that remain?

But your point is salient, and apropos.
This is a hobby as well as a business........for some.
I find it truly sad that an enthusiast who chooses to go into the business
of Studebaker stuff
has to develop such a thick hide to protect himself from those very
enthusiasts.
This does not speak well for the future of this hobby at all.
Knowing the people as I do within this club, I would not jump in with both
feet to supply items to customers at a profit.
Especially if it involved major capitol outlay for development,
manufacturing, and inventory.
Yes, there are other outlets for creative energy, both hobby wise, and
business wise.
To be excoriated for choosing a different path just reinforced the decision
to stay on that 'other' path.
Successful people are just that...successful.
They can, and will go somewhere else and become successful again.
Sure, sometimes it doesn't work, but you usually won't see successful people
hang around a losing proposition for long, if at all.
No one 'loses' anything up front. But what might the hobby have gained if it
had supported the effort?
If you must get a grip, you'd best know what you are holding on to.
I have seen several people choose to let go of their grip on this hobby,
rather than watch their grip slip through their hands because the rope was
too skinny.

Anyone familiar with Studebaker's and their owners should see that
high tech, high development cost, and high performance type parts
are appealing to many but affordable to few.

Maybe 2 to 10 percent of Stude enthusiasts have deep pockets, maybe 60
percent are well off, and a bunch like me are just trying to enjoy our
Studebakers on a very limited budget/fixed income.

I thought Nimesh's big bore diecast aluminum engine was a great idea but
I would have to sell every thing I own to buy one.

I think most Stude enthusiasts are great people but there is always that
"1 percent" lurking in any group.

Cain't argue any of that but... One who enters a business must be
realistic or risk failure.

I know one guy not far from here who has a sizable shop and prefers to
work on Studebakers but we doesn't chase any, (including modern models),
of Chevys, Ferds etc. away.

The bottom line depends on being flexible, savvy gut forecasting and
good customer service.

And great marketing....
I saw a lot of words with that one vendor that never materialized in
iron or aluminum.
It would take a profit leader item to offset a loss leader Stude item.
And profit is a bad word to most Stude buyers <g>.

Maybe vendors should demand refereneces from potential customers.
