Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Yeah the "Rat Rod" and "Old School" is what this show is all about. NO BILLET. These are affordable hot rods.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Not much going on with the 65, but I just picked up a 50 Stude Truck for a friend. I'll be doing some work on it later on. I offered to swap his 17" Torque Thrust's with my Cragers. He's thinking about it, but I doubt it will happen.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Lots of small repairs to the body. The Chevy bed needs a lot of attention. I also need to finish up an unfinished frame shortening.

I love the lines on those old Studes and the Chevy bed looks right at home on it.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I should be post 1667 on this thread at this point, watching it from the beginning.
More posts on everything else but your build. LOL Apart from that, it's probably the most entertaining thread I follow. My neighbor is a Studebaker nut. Has 2 right now, a 52 2 door and a 53 4 door. I'll bet he would jump in his car hauler today if the Studebaker truck was for sale. Have a Great Holiday Season and it sure would be nice to see that lil 65 from time to time here.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks Chris. I really try to post more progress on the truck, but sometimes there just isn't enough of it to post. Glad you enjoy my entertaining thread. I promise I'll get back on track this next year. Yeah I know I said that before.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Looks like a done one though. Looks like we have the same Chevy truck.
Before the Studebaker I brought home a 40 Ford Woodie Deluxe for a friend, that I'll do a frame off restoration on. And you wonder why I have no time to work on my own.

The guy that originally sand blasted it said he used the best stuff available (primer sealer) and it sits rusting only 20 feet from me. It will be re-blasted in the next or so so I will be sealing and painting myself. I need to start getting this thing back together asap. The only weld work left on it is to graft in the power steering part of a 71 frame horn. The Alston Chassis works rear portion is done.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I've used both, and I like KBS much better.
This is the KBS that I sprayed on. It can be done with a brush also.
