Drive this one to Viva......oh yeah

 

[cosmic12]

WOW! Looking very nasty, and its not to low but look out for the speed bumps[cl

 

[Dirtyrat]

looks very mean, digging this car a lot... yea looks a little low by the control arm angles, and such...

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I've been working on finishing the wiring harness, simple eight circuit. I'm using a lot of pieces from the '64 Wildcat I got the steering column from, the ignition, dimmer, turn signal, and brake light switches.

Fabbed up a battery box in the trunk.

Modified the old dash for 2" gauges.

I'm really liking your '51 Coupe, looks freakin' mean.
Mines a '50 2dr. sedan, 3" chop, decked, shaved, tilt clip, blown SBC, airride, custom frame, & more.

Got everything underneath buttoned up and got it down on the ground...it may be a little low in the front.

There's no such thing as too low... just pot holes and dips that are too deep and bumps and approaches that are too high.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I've been making some good progress on the Stude, got the front clip painted and rebuilt the headlight buckets, finished the dash wiring, and got the rear bumper installed.

 

[dmw56]

That is looking great.

 

[rebstew]

That thing is just tuff looking.

 

[sgtpontiac]

Lord I love that thing.....

Nice build TI....way cool...[cl

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Thanks guys, as soon as someone stops by I plan to set the front end on.

 

[earthman]

That would be me stopping by to help if i lived closer. Going to be a treat to see it with the front metal on.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Mounted the trans cooler and ran the lines through the air duct...

Tight fit on everything...

I had some help stop by so I got the front clip on and finished up the wiring.

For 1951 Studebakers had pretty wild styling...
