Since work has been slow lately and I was too broke to go to Omaha due to carrying two houses now for seven months (yeah Jeffy, you told me so...) I got one of the disco cars started today. It is a shame they cut it up years ago and then let it sit under a dirt floor shed for fifteen years. It really was a decent car before all this buffoonery. It will make a GREAT parts car, but if only I had a decent body for all the good stuff this car has to offer.... The engine sounded good; could only run it off a can and several hoses started leaking, so I didn't run it for long. It looks like this car was loved way back when as there appears to be a heavy duty radiator in it and a ?factory? fan shroud. It's a 50 four door Champion hat has been rendered topless and the floors are gone from sitting on the dirt. Under the hood looks completely unmolested but the wiring has dissolved (as usual). Bumpers, bullet, and whole front end and rear end look decent. I have seen crummy bullets on ebay going for a hundred bucks, and this one is nice. Some of the chrome was redone years ago so it would look good sitting inside the bar. If anyone has a nice body to sell (left that wide open for Calvin) or if anyone is interested in this thing before it hits ebay drop me an email. It also has a visor on it and much of the dash stuff is savable. Studebaker George
