finally got her done

[hankthebigdog]

I posted a 1932 Studebaker for sale way back . no lookers, so I did the deed and built her. It is now a finished product. Lots of hours building stuff, removing wood and replacing with square tubing. It is a "street rod" I guess, but I am ok with that. It was just too good to rat out when I got started. I have a few pics as it went along, but I am not a photo guy. Here is where we started.

Looks like it turned out great. [cl Sits a little too high in front for me, but looks great besides that.

powered by 350/700r4. 92 camareo{spelling ?} rear end. LOTS of fab work and hours of "fun". It has a speedway straight front axle with power disc brakes. I used s 10 steel wheels and I need to put beauty rings on for some "style" my wife says. It is on the original springs and shackles and the front axle is supposed to be the same height just 1/2" narrower than original.
I have all the original wheels. motor, trans, rear end if someone needs Studebaker parts.

falconvan: what my research tells , they only made 6021 of this model in 1932.

thanks everyone for the kind words.

Pops: Plan to drive it til it quits, then rebuild and start over
