                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

      This Amendment on Form 8-K/A ("Report") to the Current Report on Form 8-K
(June 16, 1999) of Standard Automotive Corporation (the "Company") amends and
restates required financial information in Item 7(a) "Financial Information of
the Business Acquired" and in Item 7(b) "Pro Forma Financial Information."

      In June 1999, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Critical
Components Corporation, acquired substantially all of the assets of Ranor, Inc.
("Ranor"). Following that acquisition, the Company filed certain financial
statements of Ranor and pro forma financial information in the Current Report on
Form 8-K (June 16, 1999), based upon information provided by the former owners
of Ranor and certified to by Ranor's then outside auditors. Due to a
misapplication by the former owners of Ranor of an accounting principle - the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's Statement of Position 81-1,
Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts - as certified to by Ranor's then outside auditors, the Company has
restated Ranor's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998 and the previously filed pro forma information. These financial statements
have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP and Arthur Andersen's unqualified
opinion dated May 31, 2000 is attached. The Company is currently in arbitration
with the former owners of Ranor and in litigation with Ranor's outside auditors
at the time of the acquisition to recover a portion of both the purchase price
and certain adjustments made at the closing of the sale of Ranor's assets.
