Jeff.  

The pixs show the basic front-end with coil-overs taken a few months ago; I have other pixs of the details.

I took it to the track for checkout testing only, dove it around pits, everything seems fine, drives like a Honda, no lurching with the 5 speed, set-up work needed as the car is new, engine is not for the faint hearted, intended to drive down following weeks but it rained, car is set for land speed with 3.50 road race gear so drag racing would require a 4.56-5.13 gear change.  R.

John,

Maybe I missed it, but what is the price you are asking?

Thanks,

Tom.

It is hard to put a number on this car, but I will discuss price if you call me on 410 757-1994 or give me your phone number.  I am really seeking for a good home ; the price is good if someone is looking for a LSR 1953 Studebaker.

John.

John,

You have a very nice car and have done a great job. I cannot support the two LSR cars I have, but if I could afford another car I would be interested, but I cannot.

Only reason I asked the price is it might encourage someone to give you a call, as you might not want as much for the car as some might think.

I hope you get a buyer.

Tom.

TNXs for your help.

That is true, I am hoping for a good home and the price is below what someone would think. 

If I do not sell it, I will probably compete (for fun) the car in spring ECTA with Steve Kramer driving.  Steve Kramer is the professional builder of my car, drives a Pro-Modified Fulton 832 cu-in (230-mph quarter mile), and is a stellar builder and driver.

Attached are a few under-construction pixs showing the body and frame structure.

John, You have done an amazing job on the Stude. The new owner will have a shorter
learning curve starting out with such a great car.

That's great John! Beautiful car! Hope the new owner plans on putting some very fast miles on the old girl.  :cheers:
