Curt Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 That makes a sharp convertible! Nice work, Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Nice. You probably know the factory is said to have built 2 convertibles, and several more have been built by custom shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I like it! This is one kit that NEVER gets old. I sure wish though we could see new tooling of the 1957-'58 Golden Hawks. I have a loooong stalled project of a '58, but to see a brand new kit (Moebius??) would be a dream come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Nice work! Is that a Commander that you put an Avanti engine in? I built an Avanti kit a long time ago...

espo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Very nice looking build. Good paint and very nice interior. Makes you wonder why Studebaker didn't offer a convertible. Perfect engine up grade. A Study 289 cu in with about 10 lbs. of boost, hang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
