    54 Stude coupe restoration

    Posting a few shots of John Millers 1954 coupe. He aquired it from me in the condition the first picture represents, this past spring. He chose one of his client's to paint the car. Somewhere along the way they also made some sweet changes to the original piece. She is ready for the interior installation. Unfortunately John is booked till August next. If it was my car ....and my interior shop....as soon as KS Customs completes the 3 speed on the floor conversion and lowers the front a bit.....I would rationalize putting it in front of his clients in the name of "advertising". Not John...he said he will use the time to make certain of the inside color compliments the shades of gray outside.....only the way he can.

        You are correct....as stated in the initial post it is at my friend's Kent's shop getting a 3 speed installed and nose dropped up to 2 inches. The engine is in it.....just a 6 cylinder for this next year. He is looking for an LS1 to install down the road.

            A very nice use of different body parts off different years. I have a 61 that I was going to de-wing and use the 53 bumper with 56 tail lights but now I may just clip its wings. Are the 56 fiberglass wings, (fins), repoped? How about the check mark pot metal piece?

              I got all the 56 items from Dwayne Jacobsen of Midwest Studebaker out your way in Wisconsin.....fins....all stainless. There are others who have these parts at swap meets and stude shows.
