Hot Rods Prodject up and running

I have finally got my m5 Studebaker truck running and driving after 4 years of work . I can't wait to take it for it's shakedown on the road

 

Man,that is one wicked looking truck. HRP

 

Looks like you are ready for Daytona....cool truck.

 

that is one nice looking truck! you hit the look right on. What is the drive train?

 

Ford 302 Cobra, T5 tranny, Franklin quick-change rear, Late model Wide Five hubs and brakes, 10" good years on back, 8" good years on the front for now . I plan to change tires to something more DOT approved but keep the Wide Five late model look..... Thanks for the Digits guys...

 

That truck is just flat mean looking from every angle.

 

This truck chassis was built from old Late Model Stock Car parts given to me by my friend Terry Carol. A late model stock car racer from my area who up dated his car to the latest parts available. He no longer felt he was completive with the older equipment and gave them to me as a thank you for the engines I had built for him in the past.... As they say what goes around comes around.. However I think I got the better part of the deal. Thank You Terry Carol...

 

Definitely not letter of the law HAMB traditional, but that mofo is bad ass.

-Abone.

 

I thought it had a stock car look...cool.

 

congrats

 

Nice example of thinking outside the box. 'Like it.

 

I like it too.

 

Cool

 

Cool Wild Ride

 

Very cool truck!

 

I'm liking that a lot !

 

Cool! I was just thinking about this project a couple days ago, wondering what the status was.

 

That thing looks 'flat out Business' from all angles!

 

The wife says I'm getting the big head from all the complements. I told her that's all right I'll just get a bigger hat.. THANKS GUYS for all the I digits

 

Ugly as sin (stude) ..... But man I dig it!

 

That is sweet. What kind of clearance do you have under that? Always loved the stock car racer look, would have never thought to do that to a Stude truck. Love seeing something unique and still cool.

There's a local Stude truck that I've always loved. It is a stocker and just has that bold, noble look. You've taken a great truck and cranked it to a great new level. WOW! THIS is hotrodding at its finest. Thanks for inspiring us.

 

Nice Job!

 

Clearance is from 0 to 5" (air ride )

 

Yeah They sure are ugly stock. I had to cut it up to make it look better.. Like a face lift and make up on an old lady makes them look better

 

Love it!
Seriously....it make's me smile just looking at the pics, and i imagine you will have nothing but smiles behind the wheel.
Well done!

Tony

 

holy hell that looks mean... really like it.

and those tires just scream business.

 

Thanks Tony....Im waiting on DOT tires to put it on the road. cant wait to put it to the test... I'm looking for tires the same size and look as the Good Year Eagle racing tire that is on it now. Maybe road course rain tires by Good Year..

 

I'd like to see this thing making a couple laps!
