I've got an original-paint '55 Stude Conestoga I've been wrenching on and putting back on the road. Lately I've been thinking that it needs...
Thank you Mr. Moose.
Would someone add trim rings to the wheels of my '56? It'd be nice to see the visual without messing up the paint on the new wheels. Thank you....
A little embarrassed to say... I mentioned in an earlier post about the '55 Studillac being up for sale. It sold to a collector in Minneapolis....
At the advice of a friend that's spruced up some beautiful original-paint cars, I gave the '38 another coating of #7 yesterday and let it sit...
After a few hours with Mequiar's #7. Very happy with the outcome.. Tomorrow I'll finish it off with a coat of wax. My arms are too tired to do...
Thanks everyone for the advice...!!! I'm going to figure out which method I like best and see what I can do with it. I don't want or expect a...
A friend has this '38 Stude. The car is completely original and unrestored. We have a show coming up in a couple of weeks, and I want the car to...
Sold, please delete. Thanks
Thought I'd follow up since everything is done... The truck is here, Mackie Transport is absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't be happier. [IMG]...
So far, Mackie's has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. There was an issue with them processing my debit card.. I don't have a credit card...
Mackie's picked up the truck yesterday morning, exactly when they said they would.. [IMG]
Not hi-jacking.. I hope someone can chime in and help you out! When I was filling out the info for the transport company, they had an option for...
I settled on a broker and Mackie's transport. They had the best price and communication. I'll post an update when I get the truck. Thanks everyone...
Tfx gave a great quote, but the soonest they can pick it up is late November. Is there another company that's comparible to them? Thanks..
It sounds like TFX is the way to go. I'll be giving them a call in the morning. The truck spent its life in Michigan, until the current owner...
Thanks! I was hoping for actual names and numbers. I'll be calling each of them on Monday.
Thanks, Gary. I'm in Tallahassee and it looks like there is a customs office here. The seller of the truck says he can get it to Buffalo, NY...
A quick search didn't pull up what I wanted.. And hopefully I'm asking this in the right area. I'm looking at buying a 50's pickup that's in...

Complicated, no. But expensive is relative.. For now it's tucked into a corner of the shop I'm renting space at. I may feel differently about it...
It's a very cool car! But not being able to do what I want with it kind of takes the fun out of it. Unless someone sees this thread and wants to...
I have no way to absolutely confirm it, but I feel confident that it's the only intact genuine '53 Studillac extant. I have a LOT of info that I...
Currently figuring out my priorities.. I'm not sure I want to invest everything I have into this car. Is there anyone that might have an interest...
I forgot I started this thread...! Upon arrival: [IMG] The dog helped with cleaning out the cobwebs on the inside. [IMG] The car showed up...
I think I'll start hanging out on the HAMB a little more often.. Thanks for all the cool replies, fellas.. [img]
"Eldorado Burble".. Love that!
Holy cow this is turning into a cool thread... Falcongeorge.. Some of the stuff you're seeing online is from an old blog that I put up about 10...
Thanks fellas.. I may have to start a thread for it. It needs a lot of love, but it'll get there.. [img]
You can see the hole on the floor where it had another trans with a side shifter at some point.. I'm piecing together the car's history. I know...
