Hot Rods Blown '51 Studebaker Starlight build

I've been working on finishing the wiring harness, simple eight circuit. I'm using a lot of pieces from the '64 Wildcat I got the steering column from, the ignition, dimmer, turn signal, and brake light switches.





Fabbed up a battery box in the trunk.



Modified the old dash for 2" gauges.

 

Looks great. Always did like that body style.

 

I've been making some good progress on the Stude, got the front clip painted and rebuilt the headlight buckets, finished the dash wiring, and got the rear bumper installed.

 

man, what a great lookin stude!

 

Mounted the trans cooler and ran the lines through the air duct...





Tight fit on everything...



I had some help stop by so I got the front clip on and finished up the wiring.







For 1951 Studebakers had pretty wild styling...

 

Well I'm gonna to replace the front springs, it's just way too low.

 

Damn!!!!

 

Love it!!!

bad ass! where's the videos?

 

Wow, that is a tight fit, but very cool. Don't think those rear tires will last very long!
