I'm looking at a 50 Stud here in town that was built out of KS, any shots of some done up traditional?
My web site has a lot of modified Studebaker photos but not too many are traditional customs. My 4 door sedan is customized but is not a tail dragger. You can view my Bullet Nose Paradise web site by clicking on this link.

Hey, I built that red 50 2 door sedan. I live in Wichita Kansas and I sold it for some stupid reason a few years back. I kicked myself every since, but I recently bought a 50 Business Coupe that I'm completely going through now. I have the body off of the frame right now doing all of my firewall, ******/driveshaft tunnel, and floor board work now. My ch***is is pretty much completed. I have a Mustang II front end, S-10 rear end, Big Block Ford FE 390 w/ C6 auto ******, and so on. I'd be glad to answer any questions about that red one that you have, but I don't know what has been done to it since I sold it. I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of it inside and out to see what has changed.
tried to find a pic of mine, this is all I could find, 1950 Champ 4 door fully customized using a '51 front clip, visor lowered using cut coils with lowering blocks in the rear hahaha
I knew a guy on Vashon that was building a bullet nose he used a fastback top off a '49 Chev and Cadillac tail lights. he moved and I lost contact. any Northwest guys know a Don with a car like that? Paul
I know a fellow named Don that has a car like you are talking about and he has shown it in WA. I'm not sure where Vashon is but he lives in Hawthorne, CA. Here are pictures of his Studeolet. The car was in primer for many years but it now has been painted and the taillights are from a Buick.

The old man that has it now bought from a dealer in KS about two or three years ago. The headliner is still the factory one, but it has some higher seats in it. It's a 20 footer though, the old body needs some work.
Well, it is nice to know that it is still kickin' around. The guy that bought it from me was the dealer... he is in El Dorado Kansas. I had put a real quickie paint job on it, but he kind of let everything run down on it compared to when I had it. I never did finish the interior, it just had the Honda Accord front buckets in it. It was my daily driver for a few years and never had any problems. I rebuilt the engine and ****** out of an El Camino and put it in it. I put the Mustang II front and a Maverick rear under it. I still don't know why I sold it though... I'm hoping to get my Business Coupe up and going soon now. I'm doing it a lot more extensive than the 2 door sedan. I would like to come across another set of Buick portholes for the hood of my coupe also.
That Red one is nice. Purple g***er is a ripper,any more photo's of it? What became of that 'Buck Rodger's' number done by the Salians Boyz sometime ago?
Bullet Nose, nope neither one of those, they are perty cool though. his had a little more chop and I'm thinking '49? Caddy tail lights you know with the little fins.. and a late Caddy motor, and a tilt front? last I heard he had it in storeage in Renton. Paul
here's mine in the works...500 cad..nine inch ford...camaro clip...choped top...dropped nose...4 wheel disc...finishin the body work on it now...hope to have it on the road yet this season
[ QUOTE ] did u buy that red stude? [/ QUOTE ] I'm thinking very hard about it. I'm going to look at it again later today after I've had some sleep(I work grave yards). He has came WAY down on his price......we'll see.
