Missing Link Resins has two new resin 'kits' that used the 1953 Studebaker hardtop as the donor. The 1st one is a 1953 'C' coupe. It only comes with the body as this uses the base kit for everything else. The 2nd is a 1962 GT Hawk. The Hawk comes with a few more pieces. For those that haven't worked with resin, they require a bit more prep work.

Very nice. Even got the stainless channel on the GT rear side windows.
Neither of my '62 Hawks (1 early, 1 late) have breather caps on the valve covers, though.
What to do for the dual exhaust?
When looking closer, I came across this on another site (DROOL!):
I'll bet somebody around here has one of those.Andy

I'm pushing these because if you sell out, you'll make more. And more Studebakers in general. That '62 Hawk is a stretch from what's been offered before. I can always hope for a '64 Daytona...Tom - Bradenton, FL

I'm collecting parts and materials for a special Duesenberg model with a resin body. Can someone tell me if resin kits require special glues or paints? Is there a web site about working with them?

Don't know if they are still available...but "Jimmy Flinstone" was making resin Conestoga's (1/24th) also. Actually..they are sedan delivery wagons, but windows can easilly be formed.
I have a couple. One is already a slot car, drag racer. One "may be" (if I ever finish it) an RC car, and the last will be a road going slot car.
This body needs the AMT, C/K model for the details to finish it.
