51 studebaker 3 window coupe conversion

[damodelguy az]

always liked the look of a nice low 51 studebaker 3 window.  so here goes, looked at a 36 ford roof but used piece of roof cut off a 39 chevy to make a convertible years ago, liked the roundness of the back corners best. but the back needed to curve out more so added a piece of plastic to reshape. cut off back of old roof, filled it in, split my new roof because its to wide,  mated to existing. after in place and cleaned up, cut shape for new back window.  this was a last night project. sometimes you have to go at it when it hits ya.  thanx

Wow, that's coming together nicely with your work on the roof and all the donor parts from various sources.

I really like it now. Better visualization and it sits just right.
