I have just dropped the cab on so so far,I want to set up the ride height(drop) so I can make sure I have clearance to run the running boards etc without:"too much" rubbing on mother earth.....the cab corners you used are they the Classic Enterprises ones?so they are crap?...if so, I'll make some jigs and make my own.I have a Stude 259 cu. I'm going to put in it...kinda funny the 4.3l that the S10 comes with is a 100cc bigger than the 259 from 50 years ago...livin life,one rusty bolt at a time.
'Got Studebaker parts?

The corners are pretty crude, I made them work but I was sure disappointed for the price. They looked like they they they had been quickly hand hammered on a buck. they would be hard to make because of the way they curve into the bottom.
It's cool your using a stude motor.

Haven't done much on the truck in a while but I got a new radiator for it so thought I should make some permanent mounts for the front clip. Originally it mounted by one bolt to the center of the radiator hoop but I wanted two mounts to make it a little more stable. I used some of the explorer body mounts I had. The brackets slide up and down for body adjustments.

A friend loaned me his plasma but I can't get a decent cut with it, I think somethings wrong with it. I cut them with a angle grinder and finished them all clamped together on a 12 inch bench sander, maybe my most used tool.

I have used these blades in my skilsaw to 1/4" plate steel, cuts like a laser. They make one for aluminum too.;

The photo function seems to be gone, but my old photos are still here. How do I post pictures on here now?

Never mind I got the photos to work again... Got the Radiator mount back in for trial fit and also made a shroud out of some scrap stainless I had laying around. Stainless is a pain to work with, its hard on blades and eats up the disc sander paper. Now the front end is sitting on it's own mounts for the first time too.

No matter what you did to that car it would still look bloody gorgeous. It would have to be one of the best (if not the best,) proportioned 32 coupes I've ever seen.
the new look for the 32 this...
