crazyjim Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Got this puppy in a trade with a fellow FAST member. It was a convertible so grafted on a roof, put on a set of Pegasus Phat Daddy wheels with disc brakes, took it down and shot it with HOK wild cherry kandy over an orion silver base.

Dodge Driver Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Great paint on a cool and unusual subject, Jim!Studebakers make some of the best hot rods.
TooOld Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Wow it looks great with the top you grafted to it , great job ! And gorgeous paint as always .
espo Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Always thought the Larks were kinda cool looking anyway, but with that paint job it really looks outstanding. The shape of the roof looks almost as if it could have been a convertible top at one time. Makes you wish it was real.
MrObsessive Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Jim, your paint jobs are second to none! That color is so fantastic looking especially in the sunlight! And yes, that roof graft could certainly have passed for stock if Studebaker would have had the guts and taken GM's lead in offering that back then.
David G. Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Excellent paintwork, great color choice, nice classy custom!David G.
Ramfins59 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Very nice Jim. I'm currently piddling with a 1959 Lark promo that I picked up on EBAY. I'm using the interior from a 1960 promo, and I'll be building the car stock for my "Class of '59" collection.
crazyjim Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks much guys.It was a convertible top that I filled in to get it flatter. A friend did an identical Lark but he used a Chevy bubble top. It looks real good but I wasn't about to destroy an old Chevy.
cobraman Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Hello Jim. Cool looking model. Nice work all around. Keep em' comin' !
crazyjim Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks Ray. Hope you're holding up to that AZ heat.
Dann Tier Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 EXCELLENT WORK!!!! -the stance, roof, color -everything! Q:what color carpet flocking did you use? -love it
