Chuck Most Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Oh, yeah! The only thing that could make a '53 Stude better? Some killer wheels and a Hemi!
Tijuanataxi Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I love the ´53 Studebaker, and I love this model. Beautiful
Wagoneer81 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Dude!, Crazy Stude!!! That, my friend is the definition of an insane ride! Bravo, Well Done!!!!
dimaxion Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Dude!, Crazy Stude!!! That, my friend is the definition of an insane ride! Bravo, Well Done!!!! Just right . In the day , Engine swapper made ; Studellacs , Studemobiles , Studeiacs , Studeries , Studeords , Studecolns . There weren't mant Studepars . The Hemis were expensive . Even in the Bone Yards . Stude Engines just didn't have any Speed Equipment . If a rodder had any Speed Parts for these engines , it was adapted or homemade . Shame , as you see if you know Studebaker History , these V/8 had plenty of potential . Your model depicts a Street Hemi in a beautiful killer package . Thanx ..
John Teresi Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Tor......BEAUTIFUL STUNNING build......turned out great.
Kustomchry Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks for all the nice comments a have another one to rebuild.....in a different style
DRG Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 If those pictures had been taken with an outside setting the caption could have been;\ Is it real or is it memorex. Fantastic.

Your model depicts a Street Hemi in a beautiful killer package . Thanx .. Didn't Andy Granatelli have a line of parts for the Stude engine? Over on the HAMB, there is a lot of comments on how the Studes were rodded, even with Stude engines. The cars also enjoyed a lot of swaps from other makers, the most popular being Cadillac. Caddies had similar dimensions and somewhat resembled Studebaker engine design. Simple mods to a Caddy intake would get you the ability to use a four barrel carb.
Daniel Peterson Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Well done. The Stude's lines were always unique, and squeezing a Hemi in there makes it that much wilder. Well done!!

Some claim Studebaker copied the Caddy . Not at all probable . I find these same people claim Chevrolet provided SBC for AMC to make their V/8s . The lead time needed is way too long for this to happen . You are indeed right about the Granatelli Speed Equipment . These parts weren't available until the mid '60's . Just not in time for the Engine Swaps in the '50's . Thanx ..
David G. Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 A beautiful car with a spectacular paint job and color, Excellent work! David G.
bsoder Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Killer studie!...bet that paint looks really sweet in person
Chris C Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Great job! Like the turned front wheels, nice touch.
BigEdsGarage Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Great job! The subtle curves of that Stude body work nicely with that paint.
