That's Grant minds think alike.

I think I may swap it out for a tan color wheel, either that or just put a cover on it.

Not yet, hopefully this summer.
Need to finish wiring, glass and have it certified by an Automotive Engineer.
Frame has been certified, just need final inspection when everything is completed.

Beautiful car! That 50 Stude body design is one of my absolute favorites. The front clip looks like they were designed to be run without a bumper! Just cut up my 62 Stude Lark to install a 34 Chevy 3 window coupe body on. Studebaker built a very stout frame for the Lark. Before and after pics below.

Veeery nice build!!!!!! I too am a fan of the bullet nose studes [dr

The 49 and 50 fords owe their bullets to the boys at stude, word is that ford hired a studebaker engineer to help with their design

I don't have any earth-shattering coments to make, other than to say outstanding job on the entire build. Too many great things to single stuff out. I really like your style.
