Yep, with that car and that acreage a guy could have some fun.
When I was 12 I had my dad's 1950 Studebaker Champion with the body removed, and 40 acres to run around on. That was a blast.

Beater · 06-09-2016, 10:19 AM

x2!

which hoods were used on the back?

qstott · 06-10-2016, 07:41 AM

Mike, Do you have any more pictures of the back of your speedster? I have enough stuff to put together another A including hood and cowl, except for the body. Your speedster gives me something very interesting to think about.

Thanks

Mike · 06-10-2016, 09:14 AM

Hope this works !

back end is made out of 2 47 IHC truck hoods. there is a few more pics in the speedster club thing here,and as for the seats yes I admit they don't look perfectly right. I have a very bum leg from a bad car wrec, so its hard for me to sit low low. the seats are built so I can drive it much much easyer. they sit to high, but that's how it is.

I'm toying with the idea of mounting a spare tire/wheel right behind the seat flat on the deck. this would help hide the tallness of the seats, but would really wrek the nice lines of it.

I would also like to raise up the running boards, like 5-6 inches. it would be very hard to cut and weld the brackets and make it look right as the way they are curved, so thought id ask here if anyone knew if henry made any different brackets ever that were shorter?

Beater · 06-17-2016, 07:22 PM

Beater · 06-23-2016, 09:34 AM
