Here's a crappy pic of the rear end, which was way cool...
It 'was' back halved with tubs and a 4 link setup with coil overs.....and 6.70x15 Firestone bias ply tires with stock hubcaps...

It could swallow some huge M/T rollers, but it was in stealt mode.
I asked the owner how his rear tires would hold up, and he just smiled...

Here's a pic of a '53 from the recent Studebaker International meet held in Charlotte, NC..
It wasn't finished, but he was on the right track
