    Hey everyone! I've been doing a lot of internet research and I keep landing on this forum so I decided I ought to create an account. My grandpa (old hot rodder) p***ed recently and I'm the new owner of an old 327/4-speed he had laying around. I found a half-finished project (1923 Studebaker) from a local guy and decided I'm gonna try and get it all together and on the road. We worked on an old 1975 Corvette years ago and it was a fun piece of **** to drive. I'm not new to working on cars but I've never attempted a project this involved so it'll be fun to learn and try to make this thing work.

    Welcome.
    Love the Studebaker rod,extra cool being out side the normal box of rods.
    I did a lot of rods n custom over the years,even kept my Miami Sr High School rod 60/61/62.
    Almost 20 years ago,I thought I still had one more build left in me,and started on a 1917 Hup roadster w V8 Flathead Merc power. But now @ 84 yo, it's just a lot parts,never will do it,so its forsale.
    Good luck!

    That's a cool starting point.
    First tip.......... Turn your wheel dollies 90 degrees so you don't have to strap the wheels into them.;)
