    Hawk Restoration Photos

    I have only posted a few pictures of this car over the last 5 or 6 years. A few people have asked for more photos so I put together this slide show for ya'll. Yes, I know this car is not 100% factory correct. I took a few liberties along the way to make like I wanted it. I did try to make the changes in such a way that only a Stude guy would know the difference.

                  You have no excuses Wayne. That's one incredible job you've done there! It makes my 59 wagon project look like a fender replacement in comparison. Well done!

                    Question...

                    What is the setup outside your frame rail?
                    I see the inline filter.
                    Is that an electric fuel pump 'behind' the filter?

                    What is that in front? A pressure regulator?
                    Curious minds need to know more.
                    Love your work.

                          Don't I wish that I had the skill to do a restoration on par with what you have done! A great job.
