    Past tense perhaps & controversial, & have never tried putting a pusher fan in a 32 shell but certainly less obvious if it fits.

    I've got a friend in WI. Whenever he visits we drive around. Parked outside in my neighborhood there was a couple Tri5 chevys, 57 Tbird and several 60s & 70s Camaro's and Mustangs. He's shake his head and say "Only in LA". Right now my A is in the driveway (until I find more room in the garage for my new mill and lathe) - sitting on the street a few doors away is a flamed 50s Chevy sedan delivery with a for sale sign on it. He bought that after he sold his V8 powered Nash Metropolitan. Now his kids say he's too old to drive and want him to sell his toys.

    I’ve been 1/2 busy and 1/2 lazy!! I thankfully got pressured into putting shiny paint on the body so now l am going to take my time and make sure to not miss any details and get this car just right.

    I will let the color out of the bag once I can get the doors on the car and have it look a little more complete…..more pics soon.

    what do you think??

    Here's the Studebaker replacements.. I'm still building Hot Rods in spite of the Chemo Therapy. I get the last treatment in the series in two weeks. Then the doctor may give me some time off. I've lost 60 pounds, and am becoming bald headed. Chemo... Yipeeee!

    On this car the only thing that’d come close is a set of chrome 40’s with bias ply Firestones!!
