This weekend Jack Heidel dropped off my Speedster that Rene restored over the last 6 1/2 years. Here is a link to some initial photos of the Speedster & Jack's beautiful 1962 Studebaker hauler:
Gorgeous! Neat hauler too. Paul Johnson
Congratulations, Jim! I know you are glad to get it back just in time to drive it to Omaha for it's first 1st place trophy! Barry
SIMPLY AWESOME!

Now that I am somewhere where I can see the pics... (as in not on a network that Big Brother is sniffing) all I can say is... that's purty.
Does it drive as good as it looks?

Wow, Jim! Looks as good as the one on your T-shirt.
Absolutely fantastic! After I acquire a pre-war car to go with my Avanti and bullet nose I want one of those!!!
Dennis
a GREAT looking car and the truck too!
The beautiful hauler belongs to Jack Heidel, pictured in one of the photos with his lovely wife Elsie. The Speedster is somewhat modified with a rebuilt Studebaker 289, with a mild Ted Harbit cam, GM tranny with OD, disk brakes all around. Rene did the work, I wrote the checks. I won't be going to Omaha but maybe I'll make the Pa. nationals in '08...
I'm assuming "Rene" is Rene Harger, aka Phantom...
