It's crummy to have to deal with the road salt up there, but I would think if you clean and coat the underbody well enough, and wash it down as...
So.... three years later is enough time to fix this car up. What happened to it?
My car also has an underseat heater, and when I bought it last year it had the original carpeting, which went around the heater, maybe an inch or...
Keep us updated, and have fun with the car. It is exciting to work on an old car for the first time. Some people forget that...
Batteries. Actually I had a battery problem too. It took three different 6V batteries before I finally got a good one. Luckily, they kept...
Ah ha ha... Like I said, I don't know Chevys -- how about, nice looking CAR?
Exactly. Depends on how many other cars around you. I can go 60-65 on the freeway alright, but that is with plenty of room in front to stop with...
50 Champion? I thought it was the 50 COMMANDER... ;)
Wow, that is a tight fit, but very cool. Don't think those rear tires will last very long!
The dashs on these are just art. Keep up the good work!
With my first classic car, I was dumb and ended up paying for a new paint job later because I didn't know what to look for when I bought it. With...
I am not big on Chevys at all, but that is a nice looking coupe, sir.
Keep working at it when you have time, 56Pontiac. You will get it. I knew just a little more than you when I got started working on my car just...
I was going to go with 17" rims on my car eventually. I have found that 16" tire choices seem to be fairly limited, so I would go 15s or 17s just...
First battery purchase for the Stude and only nearby place I could find that stocked a 6V battery was Autozone -- and they only had one. So far,...
Maybe you could just do the beauty rings and add chrome lugnuts?
I just have to say I am impressed with your taking on this project. My first car was a 65 Mustang coupe and I ended up doing a lot of work on it...
That's cool, I didn't know they did a 60 Edsel wagon. I was going to say 60 Ford wagons are on my list.
Exactly. It should almost be black in the shade to really be "root beer".
Mine has a split smile I suppose... still debating whether to pull my bumper to make it more visible. Great topic, by the way...
I have a glass filter installed before the pump -- very good insurance and easy to see any potential clogs before they're a problem.
That's what I was thinking as well... And mine is not a true daily driver, but I do drive it a couple times a week.
Well, maybe he had to push it to the floor to get it to stop when he was driving it as well. My car has manual drum brakes and even so, I get...
WOW! Studebaker should have made a panel wagon with a bulletnose. That is an amazing custom that looks like it could have been factory...
Any speed parts for the larger flathead 6 -- the 245?
www.classicchambered.com has some nice vintage sounding mufflers. Getting ready to put one on my flathead...
Thanks, Michelle -- I had never heard of these "lift off soft tops" before. Great information and photos, as always...
Cool -- what color is yours? 47-52s are pretty much my favorite Studes...
Thanks for the pics. Looks like a nice meet. I just feel sorry for the two bulletnose Studes I saw in the cruise shots...
Wow, that isn't a bad idea. I'll have to consider doing a fan until I scrape up some money for real a/c...
