Now that I've almost completed my F1 Rat the Pumkin Chucker, I will get back to work on this one. I promise. This has been off the road way to long now, since 1982. Most of the fab work is completed. I just need to pull the body off the frame clean it up, weld up the frame reinforcments and put it back together.

Put on a new power brake booster this one is 7" diameter. The stock GM one was hitting the fender. As it I wll still have to modify the fender for clearance.
 Steering Shaft using a SS Borgeson double universal Chevy splined to double D.  I'm using a support in the middle since it has 3 universals in the shaft. Lower universl is a SS Borgeson Mustang II rack to double D

I have had this radiator but never took pictures of it. After some research I found out that a Chevy 55-57 radiator with the 6 cylinder mounts will work with some minor mods.
The size is almost exacty the same dimensions. It has the center inlet and passenger side outlet. It is aluminum with 2-1" cores.

Well after a year of putting it off I'm finally back to work on the Studebaker. I spent the last 2 days clean up all the junk around the car so I can get work on it and have room to get the gantry crane over it to pull the body off.
 I assembled the body dolly I bought. I know I could have built it but sometimes it's just easier and less expensive just to buy it.  The car is amazingly straight and rust free. But we have owned it since 1969 and it spent a good part of it's life in CA or garaged. I did finish all the body work and primered it back in 1977 but never painted it. It's been a Rat Rod for 32 years.

I have already installed a Fatman front subframe and Mustang II suspension with disc brakes. All the suspension is pretty much completed. I just need to pull the body off and finish some frame work the transmission crossmember, run brake and fuel lines, rear shock mounts and clean things up.
   Here is the engine for it. Speedway Motors 406 Chevy.
