• Studebaker Stance is set. Engine compartment roughed in. *PIX*
  • Looks pretty nice. If I did one of those, I think I'd use the Ford rear fenders. Might not be easy, though. *NM*
    • Ford fenders? Really? To each his own, but those fenders are part of what makes those Studebaker trucks so cool. *NM*
  • Ken, looking good, but in the 1st pic are the fenders on backwards, ie, swapped side to side as I seem to recall that the curvature is more pronounced at the front.....tho' I maybe wrong...lol. *NM*
    • Andy it's molded as one piece so if they are on backwards the guy who did the artwork is the one who got it wrong. Overall it looks pretty good but the proportions are definitely off in specifics. *NM*
      • Yeh, I just did another pic search & I may have spoke too soon...lol........either way its a neat kitits surprising what hasn't been done by the regular kit companies but should have. *NM*
        • Re: (PICS) the resin model's fenders have been simplified, probably for easier mold release
          • Yep....I Iike those rear fenders better. *NM*
          • Cliff, that could be the explanation, the 1:1 fenders have always intrigued me by their curvature front & rear. *NM*
          • I remember when Larry restored this truck in the early seventies he could get OEM Studebaker parts at Newman and Altman in South Bend Indiana for pennies compared to today's prices. He also bent up a new pickup bed floor in the metal shop at Sheridan College where he worked. *NM*
