mr moto Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Several years back Missing Link (now defunct) made a '57 Studebaker Silver Hawk trans kit for the AMT '53 Stude kit. I actually ordered one from their website but it was out of stock and I was put on the waiting list. They never made any more before Missing Link folded - because of poor health as I recall. Does anyone have one to offer? I'm willing to pay and also may be able provide some interesting trades if you're a Stude fan. A long shot I know but there must be a few still out there.

mr moto Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Thanks, Bill, but actually that's a 1956 Golden Hawk made by R&R Vacuumcraft not a 1957 Silver Hawk as made by Missing Link. Actually, I may be in the market for it anyway as a contributor to my Studebaker parts stash. The R&R kit is a pretty rough thing but I did already build one a few years ago. It was a tough project but came out good in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Humble Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Very pretty! I'd settle for either, as I have a complete '53 kit, minus body/hood, but I see about $200 for that kit with shipping. Not in my range! Still looking for a '54 Conestoga wagon, just because I think they're cute. I built my YOM AMT '53 as a ragtop (Stude built two, and customizers have done a number of 'em) but frankly the look is not fantastic sans nice coupe roof. I did the trunk lid Hawk-style. I put the Avanti R-2 from my Aurora kit with 4-speed in it. The Avanti kit was a fussy, warped mess to assemble (also YOM) but it got a BBC -- oops, "Hamilton" engine. In '65 we had a Lark Daytona HT racing locally with a 396 which he swore was factory, so they let him race A/FX. Racing the local dealer's first 396 Corvette, it broke a rear axle first shot out of the box -- not too surprising. But I'm rambling.... again!
