    I read somewhere that the factory cut up Studebaker sedans as donors for the body shells. Whether that's true, or just automotive urban legend, i don't know. There are some 'glass ones out there…

    I don't know about the Tucker factory, but a bullet nose Stude was used for the rollover scene in the movie:

  9. I was there when they rolled the car
    there is a cannon in the right front corner or the roll cage
    the rear rims have a second rim welded to it to make the back wider
    and a fiberglass rear bumper copy of a tucker
    the right wheel is not the one that was on the car when it was rolled it had a silver chevy truck rim with a small whitewall I got from a new suburban
    Petaluma Speedway north of San Fransisco off hwy 101

    Call Rick Dore, he will contract it, if he finds a rich person...

    It'd be famous, for a while.

    Hey man I definitely appreciate it. Sometimes a vision in your head just isn't enough and you need to actually see it layed out before you. That makes the 4 door (any '53 or '54 for that matter) look so much better. I was between this and converting it to a 2 door but I think now my mind is made up to leave it as a four door and just take care of that rear corner. Thanks again my friend

  16. the Convtertible looks awesome, how 'bout adding a full fadeaway on the side?
     
  17. I like the idea... if I find a four door I'll do the ute. The ford grill looks pretty good but I think the ute was a 55.

  18. Anyone out there want to help me with colors on my roadster? Light grey body, maroon wheels, and black number was what I was thinking. Many thanks in advanced guys!

    I am thinking of painting my wheels white. Could someone photo-shop the wheels white with black walls and with wide white walls. Also a set of chrome smoothies? Anyone help me out?

    Anybody want to "paint" my T'Bird? Bright silver on top, following the front fender/door character line down to the torpedo spear, and a darker silver, but not dark charcoal, below the spear? I'm thinking the lighter color should also include the spear, and on back to the rear bumperettes. I'm debating bringing the darker color up the bumpers center onto the deck lid, between the trunk lids "humps" and thence up the tonneau cover between the seats. Hard to see with the top on maybe...

    Hey guys- So I downloaded GIMP yesterday and after a bunch of failed attempts I'm starting to get the hang of things. I managed to take this:

    [​IMG]

    And make this:

    [​IMG]

    I'm just wondering if anyone could make it all gloss black? That seems to be out of my abilities (so far- I'm workin on it!), I'd just like to see it all one shade to give me a better idea...

    After giving photo editing a try I'm jealous at how most of you make it look so easy and flawless.. Boy you guys do some great work!

    Try to find a similar car on the 'net and drag the color off it. I'm not sure what GIMP has but there should be a tool where you can highlight something on one picture and drag it over to your subject picture. You can always "paint" any places that need filling. Looks like you're off to a pretty good start so keep at it.
