I have not posted for several month. My previous posts were in the engine section. The guys on this forum helped me get through a rebuild of the 1984 302 V8 which is the engine the precious owner chose to use in this 1955 Studebaker Coupe. I have done one other 1955 Studebaker frame off restoration and a big moment is when the body comes off the rotisserie and is set back down on the frame. The Oldsmobile engine and tranny are painted Pontiac light blue which is a complimentary color to the 1955 International Salmon color. The roof is 1955 Studebaker Snowcap White.

Nice

 

Very good. Left-hand threaded lug nuts, eh?

 

Very cool project. I have two friends into Studes, one has a '60 Lark wagon and the other has a mid '60s ('64-'65??) Lark wagon with the retractable top. I don't have a pic of the mid '60s, but I have this:

 

Nice looking project Captain.

 

I am a Commander; too overweight to be a Captain. Good career; got to see a lot of the world. Thirty Five years in the Naval Reserve. E-1 to E-6; O-1 to O-5. I am going to put a Commander's collar device on the car when it is done. It is a Studebaker Commander Coupe so it will probably be the only one with a collar device.

Very Kool! Congratulations on hitting this milestone! I don't know anything about Studebakers, so am curious/excited to see yours come together. Keep posting! And, Thank You for your Service!

 

It definitely is a fine feeling to reunite the two!
keep at it!

 

Nice to see someone else that's putting an Olds motor in a studebaker! I'm currently working on a project that is me putting a 455 olds in a 56 studebaker goldenhawk.

I've got the motor rebuilt and bodywork and paint done on the studebaker. Slow but steady I'm getting this done.
