Projects Barn find studebaker

might pull the trigger on this ugly bullet nose stude.
Engine is pulled but sitting in the trunk.
Most pieces are there. It’s a 4 door but might convert to 2 door if I pick it up

 

Those Studes with the JC Whitney center light tend to pop up on days like this- good one!!!

 

I have an old helicopter engine sitting in the barn that I need to find a home for. Think it will fit?

 

I have extra Bullet i need to use,I'll double your money on it!!
You going to Gadsden tonight?

 

What a hunk of junk !!!

let it get scrapped and turned into Toyota’s


Might as well buy a beat down clapped out dodge !!!

 

No joke, this one sat outside a suburban Chicago driving range for years!

 

Nothing wrong with that 4 door , kinda like a 50 merc 4 door, great looking car , suicide the rear doors if you must do anything !!!

 

That starts tonight ???!!!
Dang. The bus is at the new car show in Birmingham
My beater bus is surrounded by new cars and trucks. We’re displaying trade skills

 

OMG!!!!!.......what a U-glee car.
Suicide the TWO door conversion and it will turn into a ....
WOW! what a cool car.....

I like it!

 

That would be a great school project. Put the engine back where it belongs and make a pick-up out of it! Let me know so that I can subscribe to the build thread, Carp.

 

I don’t think I would do it. Those cars are dime a dozen and not worth anything. Last one I owned, the guy paid me to haul off for scrap.

 

Bet you could double your money on that baby

 

You can go all kinds of directions with that car. If you got a vision - go for it.

Finding bumpers may be tough? Could fab some sheetmetal front and rear valances and use a clean thin bumper off a different car.

Open up the pockets by the center light to pass thru like an F1 car, hope it doesn't whistle going 80

Cut the whole roof off in 1 chunk and drop it back on 3-4 inches shorter ?

2 door conversion - donor doors, or stretch them and figure out side glass ?

Whatcha have in mind ?

 

CHOP IT!!

 

Looks more like a 1948 Tucker...rare car!

 

I'm a sucker for a Tucker, or just Studified ..... I want a Hudson ...... or a Maxwell, well, Y not.

 

now with picture!
This reminds i need to update my thread on this old buick skyhawk. I finally got the straight axle welded in and the efi LS motor mounted

 

Got me...4-1-22

 

You ain't fooling me, that sure looks like on of Preston's cars. HRP

 

Be like all the cool kids and make it a gasser !

 

It ain't no Dodge, that's fur shure!

 

Yeah, I got one of them dumb old Studes in one of my sheds. Was gonna make a pickup out of it but the fucking engine is in the back.
Guess Ill make a gasser out of it. Trying to figure out how to do the straight axle.

 

I thought it could be this car

 

I’m slow….mercy

Eff Anthony…

 

Let me guess, Facebook Marketplace, and he knows what hes got. Be careful, them old Studes have no resale value.

 

every April there has to be that one guy..........

 

Already gots a hole for your aluminum gasser tank !

 

Dang, the light just came on! Seeing’s how it’s already got the engine in the back, let’s make it into one of those wheelie machines. Replace the mill with a blown Hemi and call it “Stude-Up!
