Claude Thibodeau Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi! Thanks for the comments. For reasons I don't grasp... there seems to be a resurgence of this timeless design these days. I will not complain, quite the contrary... Keep them coming!

olschoolkid Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 That's a cool Studebaker. I built a roadster version myself that I put a 348 from a 1960 Impala into. I really like the modern "restomod" type of look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right to say that the lid makes it more "different"... but it hides the interior details, because it is so low. I can't decide which way I prefer: top;ess or with the lid. Decisions...

PatW Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well Claude having travelled to both Manitoba and more recently to Alberta to see our eldest son and his wife, knowing how the weather can be, I would choose the lid!

I was surprised to see it fit with such a reasonnable amount of work. I cut a section of a leftover transparent twin-blower Stude hood to marry to the twin grille contour, and had it to reach as far up as I could before it veered into the blower hump, and adjusted (shortened) the Ford hood to fit. Nothing a bit of bondo couldn't take care of... I ended up filling the oem grille openings, and used a lower air intake to feed the radiator and squeeze in the "sliver" flashers. I wanted a different look from another Stude concept I built last year (see pix). Hours of fun with styrene! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
