53 - 5 Studebaker tube frame pictures

I believe the small pic stude13.jpg is a small on of the series of pics I lost. The other is the car that we are starting with. Been in the family for about

The small picture you posted is of my car. However, I did not build a "tube" frame. The build of my car can be viewed at

Hey, Dave. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I see it is a different car. The other one did have a complete tube frame. It was a real joy to see the buildup of you car though. Love the door handles, though I am a big fan of the shaved door handles like I have on my 73 Cuda, I really like the looks of the Intrepid door handles on the Stude. We have also been toying with the idea of removing the vent glass and performing the same surgery on the window channels as you have. Being the big MOPAR fan that I am there was only one power plant for me as I had aquired one long years ago - 1957 392 Hemi with the dual quad intake. It will take a while and gobs of bucks but seeing your buildup has put new wind in my sails. Thanks again for the reply.

My pleasure, and good luck with your project!
