Studebaker Champion "Stude"
Drivetrain:
Most everything came out of another Studebaker project that had been abandonded. It's powered by a 383 small-block Chevy. 700R4 trans with custom column-shift, Ford 9" rear, Holley Street Avenger Carb, triple G manifold. Custom-made headers, 2 1/4" exhaust, glasspacks.
Chassis:
Frame/suspension/brakes are original. Ford 9-inch rear end.
Wheels & Tires:
Basic ;) I need to beef up the tires a bit to get a little more grab for the 383's power!
Body:
Original 1955 paint. Body's in pretty darn good condition. A slight scrape on one side & a little bit of rust...she won't get new paint until my bills are paid! (If ever!)

Interior:
Rebuilt by me. Re-foamed all of the seats and covered. Rebuilt side panels. Custom glitter vinyl headliner for the roof was a fun project.
Dash and all are stock. Steering wheel is out of a later-model Studebaker Hawk.
Studie is my first love. I've enjoyed getting to know how to wrench working on her. Read more about us at www.GreaseGirl..com! She was my daily driver for years...now I have a back-up but continue driving her as much as possible. I love driving her, love setting off car alarms with her, heck...Los Angeles traffic isn't even as bad when your sittin in her!
