Rockne33DLXRoadster Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Today we visited Andy Beckman and the famous Studebaker Museum/ Archive in South Bend/ IN. Its impressive to see these old original technical drawings in person. Andy has very strives to find the required drawings (with 100% success!) . At the end we spend a half day there, some dollars and get blue prints of missing Rockne parts to make repros for our car. Also i bought the Body and Cassis Parts Cataloges. At the foto me and a 18ft. drawing of convertible top mechanism of 33 Roadster i take as 1/1 blue print with me. Joe Edited May 31, 2017 by Rockne33DLXRoadster (see edit history) 2

Guest JWJr Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I've been thinking about doing this for the last couple of months but it is "too far away". Guess I can"t use that excuse anymore! I'll try for later in the year. Thanks, JWJr
