Bamboo seat frame! HA! You beat me to it! ...now I can't do it... or maybe I still can...? And El Conejo, I've seen your pup at the Pomona Fairplex... very nice.
Nice Stude and beautiful daughter. Hope you have a shotgun. My sister & brother-in law live in Snohomish. Good people but not into classic or hot rods although my brother-in-law can fix anything mechanical.
40 Champion 350/TH350 9" M2 Custom tube chassis Anyone know the builder? Built around 1999-2000 and believe the guy was from Illinois. John
Oh yeah that thing is wicked! I like the more doors better than the two doors. Bloodyjack, I think I am in love with your daughter! She must be your greatest creation! Doc.
This was my 55 a few years back... had a 62 289 Stude Engine, 4 speed, a limited slip diff, this car was fun! The reason the hoods off is it flew open on me while nailing it from a stoplight...lol
I am sorry to report that an old friend of mine has passed away back in January 009. Mike Hill of Missouri. A fellow Stude nut. We used to race with him and race against him at different meets including past Indy GoodGuys meets. His brother was at Indy this year to make a few memorial passes in his brother's car. This used to be a red 53 without any tail fins. Some of you may have seen it at Indy and Street Machine Nats in DuQuoin Illinois in years past when it was red. A few years ago Mike put on some fins and a new paint job. Sorry to see another friend go.
this was a buddy from my high school daze car i always liked it,s a 53 stude with a 56 ford crown vic roof and 56 dodge 1/4 panels

It's not a slick Loewy Coupe, but I find it handsome. The sliding roof makes it breezy fun on long drives. http://georgemcdowell.com/cgi-bin/05/image.pl?/show/05/all/all213.jpg
