oldcar Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi "B" You might find it easier to build those frames flat on the ground then stand them up. It must be better than trying to drive nails in from the top with the up-rights waving about.The other "B" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bernie, if I'd had room, I'd have done them on the ground....but.. not enough room...it's tight in there...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyro Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi BJust stumbled across your restoration, I am in the process of putting a 1923 light six tourer back together that has been in the family since new. It was in a whole heap worse condition than yours by the look of it. But can sympathise with your struggles, all the best.RegardsGuyNSW, Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi Guy, How lucky to have your car in your family since new!! What I'd give if my Stude had been my grandfather's...WOW, I'd sure feel lucky. Good luck with your restoration. Why not start your own thread showing your restoration. I'm sure everyone here would love to see it... take care, B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 A little more is done, what with Irene coming by, and then a day or two or rain with that, things have gone slowly...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcar Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hello Earl (Haven't heard from you for a week or two. Hope that you have not fallen off that new roof.oldcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well, due to rain, everything sort of halted....Not evey close to a roof, much to my sorrowl Then, there was a wonderful trip to this little town in Pennsylvania where I met many great people and had the best time I've had in a loooooong time. I didn't find many parts, but got some great old tools.I met many new people, people I've talked with on here, or the phone and then, old friends... Then, on Saturday, I had the honor of judging! All in all, how could you beat such a week?!?!?!? And to top it all off, the weather was beautiful all week.Bernie, I hope you can come over next year for Hershey. Oh, and it's raining here again today...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcar Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi BI am sorry much as I would like to come to visit again that 18 hour flight across the Pacific is something that I really don't want to do a second time. I have found in recent years that Swap-meets are something I can live without. Perhaps I am just becoming a grumpy old man.oldcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well, it's not been raining so much, and I've been able to get some work done. Here's a picture. I can't get far enough away to take a good picture. Hopefully, the weather won't get too cold now so I can get on with the work...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcar Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi "B"Grandfather would not have a little weather worry him. The one way to make progress is to try to do something (anything) positive every day.Go for it!Bernie j. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl B. Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well, believe it or not, I've not been sitting around doing nothing. Here is the latest picture of the garage, taken today. Hopefully it won't be much longer, but, seems like the weather has not been with me. Every time I've turned around, seems like we've had rain, extreme heatwaves, or cold cold. It's been really nice working weather lately and I'm hoping it will stay comfortable for working for a long time. I just looked at the weather forecast, and they're saying rain next week.... I can hope for very light rain, and maybe not much. Oh well, can't do nuthin' 'bout it.. y'all take care...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barn Hunter Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi - I'm brand new to the board tonight. I found a '22 Studebaker that looks like yours and would like to get an idea what to pay for it. Motor is out. I tried to add a 2.5 mb jpg but upload failed....

Earl B. Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well, it's been quite a while since I posted on here, but things have been going on. Parts had to be made and found for the motor, which is being rebuilt now, and the garage is finally getting shingles. I've had some medical problems, but I've got some great new doctors who have me on track. I also purchased a new, well new to me, 1955 Buick Roadmaster, so that has taken some time also. More to come when it happens, B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl B. Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks, Don, It's getting a good going over now at the mechanics.. I shingled more today, and I can tell you one thing.... I ain't as young and spry as I used to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcar Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi EarlGood to hear that you are on the mend. With the prospect of Spring and better weather just around the corner I hope to hear of some real progress on the 1922 Stude.RegardsBernie J.

Earl B. Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Well, it's been over a year since I added to this thread. In adding on the new section of the garage, I slipped two discs and tore my rotator cuff. I've had surgery on the rotator cuff and I'm dared to touch anything in the garage for another 2 months. I do piddle on small things, like the vacuum tank, since it's so light. I'm ready to drive it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Greenlaw Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That sounds familiar. I've had a double level fusion on to spine. It's been a while ago now but at least I don't have the pain anymore. Take it slow and don't push it, and you'll be back in the garage before you know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) I work on the car when I can, with heart and back problems, some days are slower than usual. I've largely got the body primed and about half of the chassis cleaned and primed. I'd send pictures but due to a breakin, I have no longer have a camera or phone...
