GW-3 1273

Got some more painting done did the rear passenger door. I was lucky it was in great shape only one pit to fill and one crack on the hinge sheet metal to weld. Dave I didn't send anything to open just an invite to come see my Studebaker's I will send the email and get tat contact. It took me a couple days to figure out the Stude addiction thing but I figured it out and checked it out.

Do you have any of the small parts or are you going to use some sort of after market deflector and adjusters just asking you can tell me I don't care what other people think no pm/s please these people are bored and there is not much going on around here.

If the bucket has the typical rust out on the bottom you can easily just weld in a patch the headlights come apart with no problem and most all small parts are stainless so they go back together as far as the rubber go to the book get the numbers and suppliers would have most of the parts your looking for it appears.

Planer Front Wheel Suspension.... All models 1938 Looks to common to all models here is some good reading from the 1938 shop manual. I would try and target the problem area and try and collect as many parts as possible before doing what you can with parts you can put together.

Did some work on the front brakes I couldn't push it around anymore the front wheel cylinders had seized so I replaced them. I made sure the new one were put together with lots of brake grease so this doesn;t happen again in 40 years. Replaced the old brake line hoses as well the banjo was a pain I had to add a thinker copper washer to get it to stop leaking the old hoses were still soft and about 2 inches long but I replaced them. I am pretty sure they painted the rims on the car and added the tires later the inside hub area is still primer. Picture of the front body mount for doc. I also painted another fender for the third time it has been green twice and black once I settled on green.

How is that thing coming?What are you doing with it?Can you post a recent picture of your progress then I will decide if I want to play and share my parts I have never sold any of my 39 Studebaker stash. I see that you sell off extra parts that doesn't leave anything to trade. You answer my questions with more questions.How old are you ? Are you a doctor?Sorry I like cars people not so much sounds Canadian right hey.I can not type very well I have a lot to say and no you can't call me.

I have many car parts including everything Champion you mentioned. Do you have anything to trade like services or parts. Can you show us a picture of your car?

I see that you are still looking but you still have not answered questions on this thread.

Still would like to know what the air cleaner decal looks like. I wanted to paint something so I work on the engine side panels Next I will peel off the nose piece and paint that.

Thanks for the reply I spent some time looking but did not find anything I am still looking I will have a closer look at Restoration Specialties I have a bunch of extra trim that I stripped the clips from today many of them still solid. I am soaking them in molasses and water for a month then going to have a better look at them then.

I'm also looking for some for my 39 Champion did you find anything?

I put in a new rebuilt starter this week and starter switch these are my spares the mz4074 is the oe 1939 and the mz4090 is the 1940 I probably bought this from Richard or Robert

Still looking would that include the center bar?

Thought than I would post a few pictures started working on this again this week lets see how far I can get I got the back half of the car painted now planning on turning it around and painting the front. Anyone know what this decal says I will add more pictures and answers any questions.

Yes the 40 is a better light because of the seal beam the light sockets for the bulbs in the 39 very hard to find and if you do they cost too much. The look of the 39 is in my opinion is best. The 39 parts are basic bucket reflector lens rim and a few stainless springs and clips type stuff east enough to rebuild. The 39 reflector all seem to crack and the H4 converse for the bulb is the way to go. The Champion has the same headlights. What do you have to start with for headlights?
