Mark: That is so cool. One of the best looking cars ever made, and way ahead of its time.
I have a 53 hardtop. Getting ready to put a Golden Hawk frame, suspension, brakes, rear end and engine in it. I will have an extra chassis complete. Been lot driving it as is.
The 53 frame is 14 gauge and pretty darn flimsy. The 57 frame I am using is 12 gauge and considerably stiffer, but still could use some reinforcement.
if you run across some bent up or badly rusted frame parts, you are welcome to my extra. It is not rusty, other than surface rust. I am only about 5 hours from you. I was up your way last week helping my son pick up a Suburban.
There is lots of great info available on the Studebaker web site. Very helpful and knowledgeable guys. There is also a Studebaker racing web site. You have to apply for membership there, but it is easy. Unbelievable amount of knowledge there.
