So speaking of 52 hardtops here's mine. It's come along way since my avatar picture.
Studebaker museum in South Bend is great. If you can swing up in to Michigan, the Gilmore car museum is unbelievable - http://gilmorecarmuseum.org/
Brian, didn't see you at the vicksburg show this year. The car I used to take to that show every year, before the Studebaker, was a very nice 65...
He makes it to Vicksburg MI car show most every June. I didn't realize he lived in NY. Must be a stop on his summer travel schedule.
52 Studebaker grills are 1 year only and very hard to come by. Go grab that one.
Studebaker - love em.
1950 is a bit of a unique year for Studebaker. It will be either a Champion or Commander. The Commander used a larger 6 and has more room under...
AC Delco - Good, relatively cheap, black case, hideway handle. Batteries should be black.
65 and 66 Studebakers used Chevrolet-design engines built by McKinnon Industries Division of General Motors, St. Catherines, Ontario. I don't know...
^ BTW, the car had a lot of admirers at the track that day. Until the 4th pass when a stock tower screw hose clamp let go and the air cleaner...
I had one of the nicest stock 65's you'd ever want to see for a time in the 1990's. Not a GS, regular 401. 15.73 at US131 dragway. Can't remember...
Picture request - Mickey Thompson sportsman fronts. 28x7.5 or 28x8.5. Only 2 cars in the thread with these fronts, and pics are really dark....
You're right Brian, it's time. We cannot complain this year though, a beautiful hot summer and warm fall so far.
Hmm. 88 Daytona may not move much fluid based on the small 3/8" outlets. 88 Dakota is a very similar looking unit, with 24mm bore, but has 1/2...
V8 Bob, fair enough. The Stude should be sitting right about 3000 lbs with the motor swap. 88 Daytona lists as 2830. Cylinder displacement,...
[IMG] This is what napa shows for 88 daytona. It does not look traditional. HA! Little joke, this is about being safe and building good cars....
Low pressure and wrong metering pretty much back up the feel at the pedal, which is horrible. This is a big help. I did some research when I...
Guys, thanks for the quick answers. The rear shoes are adjusted, I think I'm fine there. System is bled, of course. Firewall is seriously...
I figure I'll ask. I got this 52 Studebaker running, everything in the brake system is new and engineered to the best of my ability. Still, it...
I actually keep a registry and try to find all of these starliner hardtops I can. www.studebakerhardtop.com As was said, this was Studebakers...
Just stop into Walmart and head towards sporting goods. They'll have a shelf full of Aluminum water bottles, some with graphics, but I found a...
If you're coming from Detroit direction, take the I-94 business loop in. (exit 81) take a RIGHT when it crosses lake st.
Must be that in that second picture, he's throwing the spaceship into reverse.
Well, if you're a hot rodder they probably all think youre strange already....
Your catia should be able to read that step file just fine. Make sure you got the file download and unzipped completely, the step is about 44MB....
It'll take more than a file conversion. That's a very nice step file of that engine. It's a 21 part assembly. Reads great into Cimatron, which...
One of the reasons I read the HAMB is because I LEARN more about doing things the right way here. I didn't know everything when I started my...
Richard, same ad hangs framed in my shop, although the car is seafoam green. The same color my beautiful 65 was.... And I loved it. Someone...
A lot of stock shrouds have an area bumped up, for sticking above/below the radiator. Any local junkyards with 60's or 70's stuff in it you can...
Separate names with a comma.
