Was that the fire that took all the steel buildings and the whole Studebaker car collection in Texas last year?
Would the heat from that affect the temper or strength of the steel in the car?RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

No, it was NOT the same car. http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ght=volvo+fire
The one you are thinking of is a '51, and was stored in another building.

I've seen less worthy projects. I think that a parts car would be needed. I do have a set of headlight rims available for the lucky winner. An opportunity to have a 1 of a kind. I'd put it on an S 10 chassis and rent it out as a wedding limo service. A person could make some bucks if it looked good in an out; Might be worth 200 in scrap. cheers jimmijimsigpicAnything worth doing deserves your best shot. Do it right the first time.

Tough call here. Unless this particular car has a 'pedigree' and deserves to be restored; IMHO it would be better off restified i.e. with the S10 donor frame lengthened as per post #6.--------------------------------------

"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?"
