Don,
I'm presently building a 53 Studebaker Starliner Cpe.
Chassis:
Re-enforced frame with Fatman MII front clip, power rack, 1" sway bar, disc brakes. I've installed a 78 baby Lincoln 9" rear end/disc brakes with Art Morrison ladder bar/coil over suspension. New 67 Mustang fuel tank with electric fuel pump and return fuel lines for fuel injection.
Engine:
350 crate roller engine, Vortec heads, not decided which fuel injection to use yet. I've set the engine back in the chassis 8" and lowered it down 3". The water pump pulley sets just behind the front spindle line. Built 400TH with 2500 stall. Just in the process of building the mount for the power steering unit. With the engine lowered into the chassis and set back, I need to mount it in backwards and run it off the back side of the surpentine belt. It will be mounted to the front engine plate. Howe 24"x31" aluminum radiator, 18" Spal electric fan and shroud.
Body:
53 Studebaker Starliner Cpe. 3" chop on front post 1 1/2" chop on rear pillars. Nash wagon scalloped roof insert. Fabricated the firewall to make up the room for the engine setback. Vintage Air GenII air conditioning. Polished compressor, Zoops polished mounts, stainless braided hoses. Billet Specialties tilt column and half wrap wheel. Much misc. Lokar pieces. Autometer guages. 88 T-bird power buckets. Paint will be a PPG pearl base coat/clear coat. 17" and 18" Torgue Thrust II wheels with rubber band tires. Well, not really 45 series front, 50 series back.
I have a few pics up here in the Member Galleries.
Dean
