So I'm going to add something to the front of this truck- either a small, contoured tube bumper or a valance and splitter. Not sure what as of yet.

It's just another AWD Hemi, so nothing special there. (crazy how I've come to be bored with these things) haha

Next on the list just MIGHT be a Supercharged 2wd Ford Lightning pickup chassis transplant. I mean, I hear they can make 600+ HP with a tune and some exhaust. It's basically a Ford GT40 engine...

Anyway- Here are some pics, of the Studebaker 1950. I call it the "Turdebaker".

How about replicating the grill and extending it down by two or three bars. You could build it down the the level of the front quarter panel behind the wheel and extend the front guards down to match.

I welded a fencepost to the bottom... lol Pics in a bit

We've driven this one around quite a bit. Took it to a car show today. The big Metro Van made more of a splash last year- but this Studebaker was very well received!

Drives really nice actually!
