Man, are '53-'54 Studes a beautiful car, or what? I owned two of them, one stock and one with a 283 Chevy, and regret ever getting rid of them.

They say you never forget where you were when you heard of President Kennedy being assasinated. I know exactly where I was. A buddy and I were trying to get the one with the Chevy running. Lady who owned the house came out and told us he had been shot. Little while later she came back and gave us the final bad news. Kind of was the end of innocence, that day.

Anyway, your Stude is just terrific. You have done a great job on it, and should be proud.
