Good score on the engine Fleetwood! Looking forward to more reports on your progress getting it all back together.

98 blackss , I was wondering if you know if that crossmember and fender supports is specific to the President only or specific to independant front suspension ? I thought that the president had a longer hood and fenders , I just got a front clip off of a 37 four door sedan and it had the independent front suspension but the hood and fenders are the same length as my 37 dictator coupe and my sedan, also the front bumper holes in the fenders are different than the ones on my dictator.
Please note that this thread is 10 years old, and "98blackss" is no longer registered as a member of this site, so I wouldn't expect an answer from them.
But hopefully one of the knowledgeable Studebaker folks that frequent this forum can answer your question.

Leather is looking great! Amazing what some loving care can do for old leather.

Wow, looks great! And you must use the fastest painter in the country, sent it middle of March and got it back at the end of April!!!

Ouch! And I bet those Sprint exhaust manifolds don't grow on trees either.

I was a registered user with the SDC several years ago. My account has been deactivated. I am able to sign in, but not post. It states I need to reach out to the forum administrator for re-instatement. I have done so now 3 times in one week. I know we reside in a world where we want instant answers, but I am wondering if there is a forum admin checking or even if my request is getting through. A person wonders after awhile.
If there a SDC member that can access the forum and ask someone if they have received anything from Bryan Moran? I have a question or inquiry I would like to post on their forum.Jake, my post on the SDC Forum got a response today from the main Admin. Hopefully you will hear from him soon. Here is what he said: "What happens is, if you haven’t been signed in for a long period of time (usually more than a year), the system deactivate your account and if it remains inactive for another year, deletes it. If I receive a request through the admin account to turn it back on, I can.
i’ll look up Bryan’s account and see what I can do. Thanks for the ping." -

nsbrassnut, this is a very enjoyable and informative thread! I don't know much about Stanleys, but hope to learn more thru this thread. A lot of my interest is due to 40 years of steam experience via my career (but it was supercritical steam at 3500psig/1000deg F turbine inlet conditions).
Thank you for taking the time to document your revival of this car!

I'm not sure about the driveshaft hookup to the transmission. Maybe someone else here can answer that.

Engine will be set up for a flywheel/clutch versus a torque converter; of course, the transmission will be different; manual will have clutch linkage; usually the rear axle ratio will be different between a manual and automatic; driveshaft length will be different.
If you need specific part info, your best bet is to obtain a Chassis Parts Manual that covers your car.

Not mine, saw it on Craigslist and seems like a really great deal for someone who needs parts, especially for only $500. Located in Alvin Texas. Link: https://houston.craigslist.org/pts/d/alvin-1914-studebaker-antique-car/7709309053.html
Lots of good pictures.
"1914 - ish Studebaker car chassis. Perfect for a 1910s speedster / race car project. $500 cash in person. ALVIN, TX 77511. About the size of a 1928 - 1931 Model A Ford frame"

Very innovative repair using the aluminum slugs! Thank you for sharing in such detail.

Definitely a thread to follow! Great pictures too.
I bet beating on that head to get it off was scary...........glad to hear there was no damage.

My unsolicited input: Option 1, completely original, doesn't sound like much fun to me
. I think either Option 2 or Option 3 would be great. Cycle fenders and relocated sidemount spares is really 'dare to be different' and to me make the most impactful change while still looking like something that would have been done 'back in the day'.
Whatever you end up doing will be great, because you are very creative.

I would think selling the car as a unit would be a little easier.
He has put unmodified fenders on the car, and is selling the modified fenders.

No, he is keeping the Jag engine.

Does anybody think I would be able to trade my Bronco in it's current condition for a fully restored 60's mustang? And if so where would I go to find one?
A 1980 Bronco that's not drivable? No, I do not think you are going to find anyone to trade you a fully restored Mustang for that.

Or maybe use Loctite?

Great job finding usable materials to fix almost 100 year old components! Might have said this before, but this is my favorite thread on this whole site.

Not every car needs a high dollar restoration to perfect original to have fun with.

Great progress, soon you will hear that engine run!
Are you making your own harness, or using a pre-made one?
