Check out the stubybaker !

hey everybody I just got my studebaker driving for the first time this weekend been a 10 year project. I call it the stubybaker,it started out as a 51 4 door in its other life now it's a roadster with suicide doors,350 chevy ,700r4,pwer rack and pinion steering, only thing left is the interior which will be tuck and roll.
I hope ya'll dig it.

 

Cute as a bug

 

That thing is super cool!!!!

 

that looks to be some good work!!! i aint hating on it cause i do like it just kinda looks like it could have been about a foot or two longer.

 

What's the wheelbase on that ****er? My F100 is at 100"... this thing looks short!

 

I....(clamps hand over mouth)...

 

That thing is cuter than hell.

 

Lower please!!

Call it "Brown Suga"!!

 

What's not too like? Looks killer...nice job!

 

Looks like ya got another set of dash guages under the hood too. What convenience! Cool ride.

I'd be plenty proud if it was sitting in my driveway.

 

Supper transformation. I'm no fan of bullet nose "bakers" but your roadster looks supper good to me.

 

Thanks guys it's not done yet ,the back will be lower. Wheelbase is about 82 " if I remember right. The straight on side picture it looks a little to short but in person it really looks right.

 

Nice Build. Great Job. Have Fun Cruzin' this Summer.

VR&C.

 

Sandy The Little Brown Roadster.

And all this talk of bakers and supper is making me hungry.

 

Hay man ,thats a big improvement on a 4 door. It dosn't matter what people say,its just plane cool.
Hope you have a ball with it.

*****in as hell.

 

I think thats the first shorty car I've seen that I actually liked. I really dig the color. Whats it called?

 

Subscribed. Any more pictures?

 

the color is called golden umber,I went around and around choosing a color I even bought a gallon of red metallic that I ended up not using.
here's a few more pictures one is of the car before I started cutting.

 

I dig it.

 

Nice...

 

I am with you. I am not normally a fan of shortened cars, but this one looks cool.

 

I think the problem is that people tend to shorten cars that don't need it.
This thing is great, vast improvement. Drive proud!

 

I thought everything was bigger in Texas? Vast improvement very cool!

 

You really turned a blah nothing into a very cool headturner!
I bet you get a lot of attention!
Very nice.

 

Great save on a 4 door. Looks awesome.

 

That Stude is just plain cool. I even dig the stance. Don't change it, it's perfect. i ca't wait to see the finished product.

 

WOW I love it ! Great job !

 

Now, that's what my ol man used to call making a silk purse out of a sows ear. I like it, kinda reminds me of a hot rod bumper car.
