does any one know exactly what year (s) are the correct ones to have? You know the ones that the Alexander bros used on the Victorian or Barris used on the Dream Truck. and feel free while your at it to post any pics you have of Kustoms using them, esp if they are they are used in the rear to make a rear grille surround !!! thanks!!!
No repops. The last one i sold i got 150.00 for it. I have got one for a sedan. But, they are made just a little bit different, but if you are cutting one up it should not matter. If you want a picture I will post one for you, will take awhile to find the picture. Thanks
Here's a few good ones...The chopped shoebox sedan uses only one under the rolled pan (I'm in the process of doing this to mine as well, as I was lucky enough to score three '53 Stude pans)
I figured these things were extinct !(well they are around here) lets see some pics of the rear end of your shoebox. Someday I will build a car with front and rear pans...but I will have to do it from scratch ...
Someone in the Studebaker Driver's Club is repopping them in fibergl***. I'll see if I can find a link....
Better late than never...Still trying to find the correct drawer pulls to put in there...I want ones that match the fronts, pretty impossible to find..
I found an original, fixed it, and made a fibergl*** mold off of it. I made a few for myself, but wasnt sure if anyone else liked the way the studebaker pans looked. I was thinking about using them on my 54 Chevy.
You can get them repop in Gl***. Go to the Studebaker club site and find the information. About 5 or 6 years ago my friend Joe bought one for his 55 for 200 bucks. I imagine they would be quite a bit higher by now.
