The colour on that studebaker is way different than that gomango. It is also a candy colour.

I'm enjoying your build cookie monster! Keep the pics coming.

Sorry to here about your son Jeepsterhemi, hopefully someone finished off the Ramcharger, looks like a cool project.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

When I was assembling the top end I had to machine an adapter for the thermostat housing. I bought a CRS thermostat and housing and they are smaller than stock and the thermostat just falls into the water pump housing so......

     

That part looks as sharp as your motor, which is awesome!!

I bought a used Indy valley plate and I did not like the fit along the heads as the gap was too big so I machined my own using 3/8" aluminum.

  

I also made my own motor plate because I did not like the 1/4" thick ones. A friend of mine had one so I used it as a pattern. I made the one on the left which is 3/8" thick.

Very nice fab skills. Thats going to be a bad assed car once its done, your attention to detail is awesome.

I got all the stuff out of storage and the car and still have to empty the shed and load into the garage and then try to half-ass organize for now. Won't be working on the car this year as I have to finish the inside of the garage and the outside.................this is giving me a headache  thinking about all the work that still needs to be done.

     

I was trying to post a pic.

This is the colour I am leaning towards now.

Thats a beautiful colour

Finally got the hemi block home. All machine work done by FHO.

14-71 standard littlefield set up for gas and freshly serviced by Littlefield. Needs a little polish.

Wahoo!

WOW

picked up some heavy duty dollies today off of craigslist for $20 each and threw some 3/4" ply down. Casters are 3" so I can roll the car around nice and easy. Car dollies are $100 for 2 at Princess auto and even more at other stores. I don't mind spending a shit ton of money on the car but somethings I am just plain old fashioned frugal on.

I think being frugal on things like this, is a good thing. After all that's more money to spend on the good stuff.

I do the same but might I just say thats a fine looking view from under the car

Nice job on those dollies.
