    Picked up a new project last Saturday. 1950 Studebaker 2 door sedan. Plans call for a straight axle front with a 324 olds rocket and a 4 speed.

Fiished clearing all the front suspension and steering off the frame and am getting ready to start some cutting. Anyone need a 50 stude steering gearbox?

    Fixed the picture. Some reason from my phone the pictures went in upside down. Hoping to get the rear end swapped out this weekend for mockup. Also looking at radiusing the rear wheel wells for the cheater slicks.
