Found a battery tray from a 68 Camaro for a group 75 battery and it fits perfect. Only $15 from Summit.

Looks factory to me!!! [cl

Battery fits nice.


Finished up the tank and fuel sender hole.








I had to cut a larger access hole to get to the trans cooling lines and pressure switch for the converter lock up.




Flexible fill for the trans. Couldn't get the stock one to fit. Its been like that 2 steps forward 1 step back!

Rear brake job even though the shoes looked brand new. New drums and replaced a couple of wheel studs.

Haven't work on this move since last May when we started an addition to the house. We added a 480 sq ft family room and covered patio.

Well anyway I finally figured out what was wrong with the brakes on the Stude. One fitting was not sealing right and had a minute leak and I couldn't get a good pedal.
So I pulled the rear brake line and regulated the end. Man I hate doing double flare fittings. I let it gravity bleed and now the cylinders are moving. So at least I think I'm headed in the right direction.

Double flare is a pita
I bet it feels good to find the issue

Did some exhaust work today. Ran one side to the back up and over the rear axle. Now to do the same thing on the other side.

Yes, finally!

 

[dmw56]

Going to get paint!

Finally going to get the Studebaker painted!!
I was going to do it myself but I found a guy close by that can do it for a reasonable price!

I don't think I've seen this build before, it's really cool!

I just found a 1949 Starlight Coupe on my local classified site for only $1,200... hmm...
