Dave, that is your basic 350 chevy roller crate engine with Vortec heads. I hope to get back to work on it come spring. I've not accomplished much over the winter. I hate it when work gets in the way of finishing your build.

Weeg,
Would you like to add your Starlite Coupe project to my Visitor's Projects Page on my website, 1950 Studebaker Retro-Rod Project ?
http://www.angelfire.com/super/1950bulletnose

Site also has Studebaker Streetrod Cars, Studebaker Streetrod Trucks and Studebaker Doorslammer (dragster) Galleries.

Anyway, just a thought, always looking for more Studebaker content for my site.

I didn't think I had any recent pictures but I forgot about this one. It was taken at my sons wedding 8/11/02. I'm the guy with the blue vest. Notice the band-aid on the skinned knuckle. My son Bill is the one with the big grin. on my left is Johhny Rotten. He rides the "Wall of Death" on a motorcycle.The bald guy is the best man Ed. He's a logger and next to him is "Bubba" the tree surgeon. Sorry it's so grainy but it didn't scan well. We all rode the 12 miles to the church in my unregistered 1960 Bently. We took a picture beside the Bently but it didn't come out very good. I've never seen any of them in a tux before or since. None of us really look that good in person.

Here's one from a local car cruise. One of my first a few years ago.

vettes are cool

this is an older one.......

Well here's an old picture from a British Car Meet at Berkeley Plantation, VA (where the locals say the REAL First Thanksgiving occurred!). Apparently it was 1991 with an 8/92 inspection sticker on the '73 MG Midget with chrome bumpers and round rear wells (the ultimate in Midgets!) with new Dupont acrylic paint and a 3/4 race engine; line bored. I kept the car four years and restored the gauges, upholstery, top, gas tank, transmission etc. to essentially 100%. However with Va annual inspection I had to replace wheel bearings, rear shoes and front rotors three (3) times! I drove it to/from work 26 miles round trip 6 days a week. At the Meet they told me I was not supposed to actually drive the car, just keep it in storage for the annual meet! Either the repro parts are of low quality or the whole design was of low quality because with an American car I never remember replacing wheel bearings more than once in 100,000 miles. As you can see there is no need to chop/channel a Midget and one gets used to seeing 18 wheel trucks in the next lane viewed from their undercarriage (I am 5'10"). Alas when I had the flywheel chopped the guy at the machine shop took metal off the FACE of the flywheel as well as the edges and I also went through three (3) clutches in three years since there was little travel left in the clutch linkage. Finally the "clearanced" crank with only three main bearings broke in the middle and I limped home on the back two cylinders. I sold the car for 1/4 of my investment and the guy who has it now drives it once a month and takes it to shows after replacing the engine with a low mileage stocker. Now I am working on a Brookville frame for a '29 Ford roadster with SBC350/TH350/8" rear and hope to get you a better picture soon with that car.

Looks like you won't be driving a roadster or coupe anytime soon. You'll be hearing "Are we there yet?" from the back seat wherever you go.

Ok sorry but The Al Show.... man have you seen that movie "The Tombstone"? You look just like that older guy out of the three brothers. When I saw that it reminded me of that movie right away.

Here is a picture of me, still going strong after 48 years and grandfather of five children.
