  • Stude to Stude Body/Frame swap.

    Has anyone swapped a 1950 Champion, 113" wheelbase body to a 1965 Cruiser, 113" wheelbase frame. Tread widths are within one inch, front and rear.

    I would not be surprised if the difference in tread is in the wheels.

      It might just work since the 1947-52 Stude car center sections; firewall on back, were essentially the same and the 1951-85 Stude/Avanti frames were essentially identical aside from wheelbase.

      Borrowed Bams50's sigline here:

      "Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?"
