Nick, happy to have you.

The Stude is really taking off now.

Check out my thread in the workbench section for more pics or here. http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g73/Jantrix/53%20Studebaker/

Still working on the racing livery decals.

Loving that Stude!

Gotta get off my keister here pretty soon and contribute something here!

[Greg Pugh]

I'm digging on that Stude!

This will be my next one,including the trailer.Which I haven't even started.All thats left to the midget is some glue and repaint the seat.

[Jantrix]

Terry that looks great. Looking forward to it.

Blew the dust off the Finned Phaeton for the first time in almost a year.

Today's efforts-

[Chuck Most]

And now, it's up on wheels, and I put the manifolds back on the engine. Yes, the chin spoiler was a snow shovel at one time.

[Terror]

Nice build Chuck.I must say I have never seen a front end set up like that,different.

[Greg Pugh]

Whoa.....that's cool!

Great resurrection of lots of wonderful builds.

Chuck, that has to be the longest rat rod I've seen . . . it's sleek and perfect. Keep it going.

[Terror]

This thread seems to keep me more dedicated to the build.Should rename it to "get er done".lol More progress on the Midget Racer...

[Dr. Cranky]

Do it! You'll be proud you did!

[Greg Pugh]

That midget racer is cool as hell! I love it!!

[Jantrix]

This thread seems to keep me more dedicated to the build.Should rename it to "get er done".lol

That's the idea. Community builds are always a good motivator. And as for "get er done", man I hate cliche's.

That midget looks fantastic. Well done.

Trying to get paint laid out on the Camaro today. In the process of fighting a dadgum headache, too. Will try to get pics up later while paint is drying.

[Greg Pugh]

Got some work done on the 'Bird today.

Here you can see where I was working on my spindles...

I used styrene stacked up to drop the spindles.

Checkin' to make sure my spindle is centered in the wheel where I want it...

Here is everything detail painted and ready for assembly...

And here is how she sits. She's now officially on all fours!

[CorvairJim]

That Thunderbird looks great so far! Keep up the great work. ( I just have to get me an airbrush some day... )

[Maindrian Pace]

Beautiful Larry Watson style paint work on the 'Bird.
