Here's mine. Show me yours. ('53 Stude)

Here is mine. I started it back in '99 with a then new Vette. Shortened body about 1/2 inch behind the doors, reshaped door openings, Porsche headlight buckets, sectioned front pan, rolled rear pan, custom engine bay, windshield frame from a 53 Ford Convertible, Vette interior and chassis/suspension. I put it aside when I hit MAJOR modifications on the rear suspension.

Looks great Tom. I think you sent me the interior parts from this car. My memory is not the best now-a-days. I used those parts in the Gold one that I built as a drag car. If it wasn't for you I couldn't have finished this car. Many thanks go out to you for the help. :) I hope that you can finish this car. Dan

A lot of really great looking Studes. Some very cool ideas & builds.

I have never built this kit, but you guys have got me very interested. I will have to pick one up.

I have done a 1/43rd scale Stude from a hot Wheels die cast that was modeled after the Revell Miss Deal. I built it as a Pro Touring ride.

Many nice looking Studes here.

Dan- I do believe it was me who sent you those parts. I know I sent them to someone. Glad I could help you out and that it got finished.

Yes, I do need to finish mine. The problem I am having is figuring out how and where to cut the rear axle set up on the Vette to get it narrow enough to fut the rear tires under the body. I'll get back to it soon enough.
