Curiosity is killing me, JT...you must have some kind of ballpark price
on your car...what kind of shape is it in and where is it? Maybe today
I will fix the sediment bowl and run this thing for a while to really
check out the engine a little more and "yard drive" it to check out the
tranny and rear. This car has a lot of little extras on it; I also
noticed it has a Trico auxillary vacuuum pump for the wipers.

I knew it wouldn't be too long before you were cruisin' around in your
very own bullet nose. :)
And I'm givin' you fair warnin', you have more than enough time to get
the '38 ready for JAX, it better be there!

Yes, I did get the wonderful job of washing it. It looks WAY better
now.

I don't really have a price in mind. This unit I think will only be
suitable for a rod project as it has been sitting for a few million
years. Sheet metal is ok but has a lot of surface rust. Chrome is
so-so. Drive train and interior is complete. I think that the radio
might even be there.
A few years ago, we had a '50 four door that was in very rough shape
sitting on a flatbed. Some rodder came buy and paid $800 (silly money)
for it when I thought that only had scrap value. There's just something
about bullet nose Studebakers that the rodder crowd loves.
Probably one good car could result from both of our "babies." But, I
think that you're to far and I know that I am. I groan 'n moan
everytime I have to drive a measly fifteen miles to go into Austin...
