  • How about some before and after pictures.

    Pictures of Studebakers you have or have had.

    I'll start it off with Frosty (aka Rustobaker).
    Purchased, June 2010
    Completed, October 2011
    Sold, June 2013

    June 2010

        How are you guys loading pictures that fill the screen like above? My pictures appear much smaller when I load them. I've been trying to make them bigger and went to advanced settings but can't figure it out.

                Many pix died with my old laptop but it's possible to follow Josephine on Sonny's Racing site.
                However, here's a few of a repair on left front fender:

                  I took me just over a year to tear it all apart and get it back together.

                    Looks can be deceiving. You wouldn't think the car on the trailer would end up being completely dismantled. Bought on ebay and I'm smarter now.

                      Here is a before picture of the 64 R2 Lark HT I purchased from JDP somewhere around 2009.



                      Here are the after restoration pictures. Finished just in time for Dover 2014.

                        Jeff, that is one of best restores I have ever seen. Thanks for posting. I even made my wife look at this one.
