I see you Studebaker guys are always pretty active in the club so I thought I would tell you about a friends from Richmond,Va.He is a mechinist by trade who has run a successful one horse body shop for over 20 years. One of the best chassis men around here in stock car racing. He has helped a lot of guys along the way. When he decided he wanted to build a 53 coupe,several people that he had helped started to contribute things to help him. He was given a trans am rear with posi and disc brakes. He was given front end parts, atl fuel cell, rack and pinion steering and I contributed a mild 355 chev engine , ( one like we were discussing about small blocks a few days ago.It is one of the prettest Studebakers I have ever seen. ANYWAY.----He sent in pictures to Rod and Custom Magazine back in the summer. He was selected to come to California to participate in EAGO RAMA 2004.He drove the car out there and back by himself,made the finals,won a couple events and he will be shown in the april 2005 issue which should be out in feb. You might want to look for it. The car is oyster pearl white with dark blue velour interior 17 inch wheels.If I told you how much he has in the car ,you would be totally shocked. Many of you have much more in you motor alone.There is a Studebaker Magazine that you guys proberly suscribe to but I can't think of the name. I have one here somewhere. There is a company in Tennessee that sells a bolt in front end kit. He designed this kit and his car is pictured in the add. Good deeds always return to you. Last week we had lunch and he informed me that as soon is i finished the chassis that he would do all the body and paint work for me.That'al Work!
