Am presently restoring a very solid Golden Hawk I was fortunate to buy from Roy Pearson. I have posted photos at the following URL.....
This is a ground up project. To date the car has been disassembled. All parts not going back on the automobile have been sold to Dwayne Jacobson of Midwest Studebaker. The chassis and the body {partially stripped of paint on all flat areas} have been sandblasted and primed with two coats of epoxy paint. Used John Deere Blitz Black, two coats, as finish paint on chassis and all none exposed parts of the body. Used a brushable undercoating product on the underside of the body....the inner front and rear quarter panel areas....and the cabin floor. Used one gallon, three coats. This product uses Dupont Kevlar in the formula. It was a pleasure to use. I highly recommend it....manufactured by Duplicolor at 62 bucks a gallon.
Am using Slick Street Stuff's bolt on IFS, with new coil over design, enlongated a-arms and the new frictionless Afco ball joints, and 11 inch disc's, with a dual master cylinder on the firewall and hanging brake pedal. Next week we will install all aluminum LS1 and 4L60E trans in the rolling chassis while using a twin traction Dana 44 out of a Gt Hawk for the rear differential. Will continue to post progress photos to photobucket as we continue the process.
