  • "It's Alive!"

    To borrow a line from Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein , "it's alive!"
    My Frankenstein 1964-65 Wagonaire started today for the first time since 2012.
    I had taken the front clip off and removed the engine and transmission for rebuilding along with a complete brake and interior rebuild. Then...I suffered a severe almost killed me medical issue.
    I'm still mending and so is my Studebaker, it feels good to get her up and running again.

              I have to bleed the brakes, next on list.
              Then will post some pictures when I can back it out of the garage.

                That would be great, hope to be able to make it. The Beachwood Park is a beautiful location, what a nice show there.
                Saw a lot gorgeous Studebakers and Packards there!

                  Good to hear you are up and running, and now able to tinker with the Stude again. Take it easy, and don't jump back into things too fast.

                    Bill, are you going to the Warwick show, with or without a car?

                      Chip, We would love to go, haven't made the determination so far. Would love to see your Packard.
                      Certainly I wouldn't be able to bring my Packard. Still waiting on interior-supercharger-and paint.
                      But everything is in the pipeline.
