Little by Little

Progress,
I have my new front shocks installed. Emergency brake cables are on. Trans and engine are in place (for real this time).
Currently waiting for my bolt on yoke to the transmission so I can get a good measurement for the drive shaft. I installed all new gaskets on the engine short of the intake, They had to be ordered due to the rectangular ports. Two major hurdles left are headers and radiator.

That is going to be one FINE 52! Beautiful work.

What is the deal with the 2 pedals and the auto trans?

[dean pearson]

Haha,!
Those are the factory brake pedals. Studebaker at it's finest!

Stude used a wide brake pedal pad to span the brake and 'dummy' clutch pedal on some cars.

No snow here,... Easily 70 deg. today.

And it is amazing what a can of black enamel will do!

Thanks for the positive input!!!

Awesome..
I know what you mean when you say "Little by Little"...
Spent all day yesterday making one pulley fit the way I wanted it to fit.
Today, I spent all day drawing a picture of a bracket on a piece of cardboard.
Slow isn't the half of it..
But, at least you worked on it!

Thanks for the encouragement!!

It's hard not to get bothered when things go so slow.

Before you know it the YEARS will pass, Lil by Lil. And you'll be done.

Those tires evoke attitude and muscle, can't wait to see the rest of your vision as the project progresses, Lil by Lil.

Now slap a 2x10 across the frame and put a seat on there and Imagine.
No one will Judge - not I - For I was sitting in mine last night thinking, Lil here to touch up on, Lil here to fix.
Dream a little, it keeps you going.

Little by little ... well put. The pile of parts in the corner of the kitchen for my Speedster is growing faster than my progress in putting them on. I'd like to think the only item of consequence not here is the transmission from Jerry shipping soon and the SE Stude interior... Oh ! I forgot the exhaust system ... dang another grand!

Spent the day watching Broncos and soldering on the wiring harness and fuse/relay box... need to hit Pull & Save for an impact switch.
