Great Story. Thanks for posting this! -
We had a gal in our chapter who restored her father's '49 Champion sedan with basically no help. As soon as it was finished, she put it in a car show, won a couple awards - and then quit the club...

What a nice story. Kind of brings a tear to my eye.Paul Johnson, Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.

Well yes, I'm pretty impressed myself, sadly way to few women understand what they're capable of if they just give it a try!Comment

Nox, that picture brings two passions together that my wife and I share. We are also into steampunk. One of our first dates was going to a ren faire dressed in our steampunk finery. Alas, a Studebaker was not in my possession at that time, but we corrected that shortly thereafter.Mike Davis

I met a lady a few days ago in Mansfield who was very knowledgeable about Studes, including the mechanicals, and had recently purchased a 55 Speedster.Comment

When I didn't have enough welding stuff I just used my friends welder but without gas & Josephine's custom face became kinda steampunky because all the "boiled welding fleas", & now I think I'll leave it like this for a while.
(I thought I would put a picture here but that's not at all as easy as it used to be...)Comment

Hmmm... can't see how to edit a post... wonder how.
Anyway, gonna try to post a picture of Josephine's steampunky face here now:

I kinda like the "boiled welding fleas". Never heard that term before. Lol.Tom Senecal Not enough money or years to build all of the Studebakers that I think I can.Comment

Nah, I reckon I made it up while writing... We (swedes) call the little jumping droplets that comes while welding "welding fleas" as they mostly manage to jump into places & spaces on you where they aint wanted at all. You guys probably have a more properly fitting word for it..?
Mighty happy to see "edit" again!Last edited by Noxnabaker; 09-19-2019, 11:03 PM.Comment
