"Phantom" 1953 Studebaker convertible-hardtop converted to a soft top (Studebaker never made a convertible in this body style). Started in 1979, finished in 2003. Supercharged Studebaker Avanti engine. 90% homebuilt.
1953 Buick Special. Purchased in Kansas as a complete all original car that had been left to the elements for about 20 years. As a hobby I restored this cars body, paint, upholstry, headliner, and drive train utilizing self-taught skills. The restoration took over 3 years of spare time work. The result is a nice driving car that has won two trophies, so far, in local car shows...one second place in its class and one peoples choice award.
1998 TJ ,John bought it used and plain Jane as they come thinking he mighht have the time n money one day to fix it up enough to play with on the trails he likes and also be a reliabel work ride. He had little faith in his abilities yet where ever we go people stop to stare and comment on what "a cool Jeep " we have . John did all the work himself and shopped for parts by taking hours upon hours to find what we coudl afford on our shoestring budget and now we have a awesome and expensive looking toy that is the envy of most the town. 99 percent of our "Girl" came from auctions, junk yards an trades off e-bay but just last night I was asked if we had spent 75 grand on her yet.
1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk. 352 cu.in Packard V8 producing 275 HP., 3.07 Twin Traction rear end.Bought the car in 1986, and decided to try and restore it myself. Took two years of adult ed in autobody and welding, and went at it. Everything other than upholstry and engine rebuild was done in our home garage. I probably spent as much in tools as I did on the car.
