Mr Biggs' "Woody Cruiser"

[studegary]

Looks like it could have been a LARK to me... it's just missing a few parts now.

Since the Cruiser was a 1961, it was a LARK.

Welcome back, Bob K.!

Hey Bob,
Was this the Lark that you had a video some time back. driving around your neighborhood?
Interesting transformation. I like it!!
And it's good to see your post on here.
Now we need Dick Steinkamp back!!

That would make it like the good old days!

Yes George, the same Cruiser I was demonized for parting out when I posted those videos. The same Cruiser your son took the trunk section off of to save another Lark. The same Cruiser that's donating some doors to another Lark this week. The same Cruiser that's providing drive train components to put another Stude back in action eventually. The same Cruiser that's donated it's rear window to put another Cruiser bqack in action. And now it's bare frame serves too. Fresh engine, new brakes, new tires, new dual exhaust system and the seller couldn't get a few hundred bucks for it because it looked poopey. What's a fresh 289 worth? I think I got a deal.
Surely this bench will outlast me. I wonder if it's next owner will use it, scrap it, have any idea that it's built on a Studebaker frame, or care.

Many have not left; just sitting back to give others a chance.

Whenever I look at forum messages from a few years back it reminds me that quite a few contributors are no longer participating. Maybe some of them have become more involved in other forums. We all have missed Mr. Biggs.

Amen to that!

Bob,
My son delivered the rear trunk half to the guy who needed it, and brought back a frame for the Lark that he got from John & Tracy Smith (Karl).
The guy was really happy to get it. And my son was happy to get the frame.
Another project that we will soon get going on.
Take care and good to hear from you!

Biggs here. I still read this one forum. One important thing I've learned is the realization of how little I have to offer the Stude community. So a presence of mere observation is the best for me.

HORSE FEATHERS!

You have a lot to offer, and ya know it!

More details

Here's a few more pix. Three shots of the sub-structure and a shot of a trial fitting of a '66 nose. I'd like to use the '61 Front panel, but it's shape doesn't lend itself to fitting up as well.

Biggs, you have a strong case of "Advanced thinking" for sure!! I love it. Chuckled to myself seeing the use of the 66 grille! Keep em coming!
