studebaker with attitude

[clipper]

A good friend of mine just started a project. Thought y'all might like to take
a peek. we're gonna call it a studebaker S/T. It all started with a couple of door skins and the top part of a cowl. throw in some race car parts and we're off to the races. It will basically be a roadster pickup. More to follow.

You've got my attention. Are you putting on a 53-54 front clip?

 

[Gastrick]

That's an insane piece of machinery!

As a side note. I love that mock-up engine/fixture. That's a really slick piece.

What he said.


Studebakers are Coool!!!

That's a beautiful frame/cage! I'll definitely be following this build. I've always wanted to build something original from the frame up. Is it correct to assume that the Studebaker panel next to the fridge is going to be the tailgate? And yes, that is the coolest engine mock up I've ever seen!

Dave,
Keep closing the gap...Rodders deserve race care ingenuity.

Herman loves those studebakers! Another chevy engine? I saw part of an engine/trans in one pic. quck change rear...wow.

Another iron in the fire. Looks cool.

 

[cnchotrods]

Now this is cool. That's going to make a great ride. I'm gonna follow this build for sure. More pics!!!

Wrong title!

Clipper... u mistitled this thread!!! Should be... "Stude with BAD-ITUDE"!!!

 

[DirtWorshiper]

I can't wait to see more, very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[maddog]

I'm in. Gotta watch this one.

Very cool.

 

[clipper]

heres some progress

stude is rolling

 

[dmw56]

Wide five oval track hubs and wheels, alright. Left over race car parts are always cool.
But that Donk in the back made me throw up on the key board!

 

[clipper]

some more

SIDE BAR ... dont worry folks the caprice is not with us !!!

 

[maddog]

Yeah, leftover racecar parts are cool.
Cant wait to see how this turns out.

 

[DJM]

Making progress!!!

Dave,
You and Herman are making unbelieveable progress!!! Cant wait to see the bed! What are you going to make 3 or 4 ft???? How are you going to cover that rubber!!!!

Although that gold wire wearing thing is way the heck out of place in Ashland,Virginia!

awesome

That is awesome, clipper. Nothing like circle track underpinnings wrapped with vintage sheet metal. Small block chevy, or ...? I vote oddball engine to set it off! Anybody got a stude 289 or a Packard 352?

P.S. That's a bubble in the background, not a donk! ( I own a box, but it has stock wheels! )

 

[CORPO]

That is a one very cool and unique build... keep up the good work
