the 41 Studebaker comes home today

I had a '41 Studebaker Champion, 2dr Sedan. I was built into a "street rod" in the mid '70s. The dash was cut up, wrecked bad on the left front fender, had a 71-73 pinto front suspension grafted to the original frame. I found A donor coupe in the San Antonio area for the fender, windshield garnish moldings, dashboard & a lot of misc parts. Some friends & I cleaned up all the CS welding & repaired everything else. Put an Oldsmobile tilt/ cruise column in it & rewired it completely. I installed a 383 Chubby stroker & auto trans, changed the Pinto 4 lug to 5-4 1/2" pattern. It had an 8 3/4 BBP rear in it with a 42 case & a posi. I drove the wheels off of it for years & had a ton of fun with it. I got many orphan car trophies at rod runs with it. I sold it to a friend about 11 years ago & bought my Demon bracket car. He still drives the car & it still gets a lot of looks, as well as thumbs up on the road. I sort of miss the old car, but I'm having a total blast with my bracket car.
