    Hey gang, I usually hang out in the Hudson section, but I have a really really stupid Studebaker question y'all might be able to answer.



    Dear ol' Dad is putting together a '55 Stude and when he started, he kept sounding like it was no big deal..... now as he gets further along, you can hear his excitement building like a little kid leading up to Christmas!



    Which leads me to the real meat of the question... I thought for Christmas this year, I'd like to get him a mighty fine Stude jacket but so far all I've found are cheapies. Anyone know where I can find a good high quality jacket that'll let Dad show off just how much he loves his Stude? :D

    You might ask these people if they have one...unless you have, already:

    Look here : http://www.studebakermuseum.org/styles.asp?cid=273&pgnum=3



    If you can get your hands on the monthly magazine "Turning Wheels" you may find something in there.



    You can check for a local chapter and ask someone from there.



    Or, you can look at the one that Jon B has suggested.

    Thanks!



    I have a wad of progress pictures I still need to get uploaded. I'll drop a few in here every once in a while for anyone interested. I hope y'all don't mind that it's a hot rod.... this particular Stude was dragged out of a field and literally was caved in from cows standing on it. :eek:



    He's actually managed to salvage the body pretty well so far.

    Did you find the jacket for your Dad? Would like to see some of the progress pictures. It's been awhile. Is the car finished now?

    Have a good day.
