Title: My rusty score
Post by: Wowcars on June 10, 2008 7:06 pm
Here's what I went down to the cities to pick up. Its VERY rusty, but the stuff I'm lookin for is salvagable for the Stude. Its a '52 Hardtop. First year for it. Now let the work commence, right? We'll see how soon...

There is a pretty nice one of those ('52 2dr hardtop) in a junkyard near blanchard, ND. Its complete, and looks pretty solid, but I didn't look real close.

It is the same body essentially as mine, so the measurements should be pretty close. I'm planning on cutting the roof off about 3-4 inches below the windows and package tray. Once it is open, I can get a better idea of how to cut the roof off the sedan. I figured I can also use alot of the sedan roof for patch panels for the chop, etc.

Funny you mentioned that, I was just yesterday drooling over that thing in R&C. I think mine will be more heavy chop in the rear tho. If you look at a profile shot of the Stude, the whole thing tapers to the back. gotta try and mimic that in the roof.
