A friend did this Photoshopping of my studebaker over another friend's gasser. It's kind of cool. But I'm still not sure if gasser is the right direction to go.

I already have teh straight axle, so it would be pretty pointless to not at least put it under there and see what it would look like, but the more I look at it, the more I think it may need to be a taildragger.
The Cole Foster Ford coupe that he did for Hammet is a nice inspiration, also getting a lot of inspiration from looking at lincoln zephers. Trying my best to find other good examples of taildraggers made of this era.
I'm also still trying to sell the '61 pontiac. Eventually I'd like to find another 1955-1956 Pontiac 2dr as a project. I had one a few years ago that I sold when cash was tight. I regret it now. Have some fresh ideas and some cool motor stuff that would be perfect for such a project.
