Well here goes. Im currently working on a 52 Studebaker truck that is going to be a late 50's early 60's custom. Where im stuck at is the engine. a 65 400 olds with a 4 speed muncie. I need some advice on how to get the traditional look and some pics.
Any help from all the great HAMB guys out there will be kool.

Here's StudebakerDave's...

 

I'm pretty sure this is Bobby Green's...Sorry,I don't have a rear pic...

 

Don't put any billet on the engine. Other than that, you'll be fine!

 

BADEST one I have ever seen!!!!!



Merc front end!

 

Offy makes some finned valve covers. Those and a tasteful air cleaner are about all you can do.

 

Worst case...chrome the stock valve covers,and get a period looking aircleaner. How much are you gonna show your engine anyways?

 

those are some bad ass pics bad bob. the white is so dam sick.
i know there is not a lot but yeah the offy finned valve covers and some other finned parts should work. thanks fellow hambers

 

as much as possibel. i believe a nice engine is also a key element to a great kustom

 

Okay. Wasn't sure what you had in mind. I agree. makes all the difference.
