Here's an AMT 53 Studebaker with "Flintstone" resin body and a "Parts Pack" Chevy small block w/Potvin blower hanging out front.

Very nice!!! Was looking at this body today and thinking about dropping a few bucks on it.

One question regarding the cooling lines. I am working on a '34 Ford LSR and am planning to put this motor into the car but was stumped on the colling lines. I see you have upper and lower radiator hoses in the traditional place but to my knowledge, there is no water pump. Where did you get the info on hooking the coolant hoses?

I was figuring on two upper hoses connected to fittings on the intake where the water boss on the heads are and two lower hoses connected to the water pump bosses on the block, then running an electric pump in line to the radiator. I asked about this in a post a while back and got crickets...

Beauty, by the way... I can just see it gleaming in the sun with all that white spray on the sides and rear quarters...
