The Stud


STUDebaker, that is! 

(Pronounced "Stewdibaker," or "Stewdibagger" as my father-in-law says it... )



This picture was taken on August 27, 2011.  It was a red-letter day for us! 

Rob and Evan started work on the Studebaker again.

Several years ago, Rob hauled this home from his grandparents' farmstead.  It used to be his dad's.

He's had this dream to restore it.

He started on it.

Then he stopped on it.

And started on our addition.

Thanks, Honey!!!!!!!

So, now he's back to his dream.

The top picture is from that first day when they dragged it out of the garage and started washing down the chassis.

The next step after all the cleaning was a nifty paint product he found called "Por-15."  It's supposed to inhibit rust.  It's the super-glossy black shiny stuff he and Evan were painting on it here.



This evening was the spray-on primer.


I'm excited for Rob and Evan as they work on this together.  Can't you just see us cruising down the road in this thing?!? 

Well, now can't you????

One must have a vision....

Go, Rob!
