Thanks Pat! Yup, a Stude is still on my list of things to do!!!!!! I've still got that Stude pickup that a friend gave to me, might start putting out some feelers for a Stude to Stude trade next spring.......

Well let me know when you are ready, I know some guys...

Thanks Pat, I will keep the offer in mind.... Problem is I like the pickup, I like the year/styling of yours, and I like the bullet nosed cars too..... Probably have to decide what I want, or just do one of each, huh?????

What year pick up is it? Is it the round fender series or more like this one?

It's a '49, Pat. Friend of mine was moving and didn't want the expense of taking it along. Heard a story at coffee the other day about a couple of Stude cars at a guy's place north of town, going to go take a look one of these days, he supposedly wants to trade one of the cars for a pickup so I suppose I'd better check it out and see what he has!! Next time I'm out to the farm I'll pull it out of the barn and take a couple pics for you..... Now that I'm actually retired, a trip West might be in order someday, I have a bunch of cousins in the Tracy area I haven't seen for a few years.......

Retired You'll find your self working more than before ENJOY

Before I go out that way I'll be sure to get hold of you and get some info on him, Robin!!!!! I knew Tracy was a crazy town, but I had no idea they'd let transplanted Kiwi's live there!!!!!!!

Tracy is less than 100 miles from me Dave. Definitely within range. Don't come this way without letting us know!

Thanks,mate.. Ya cant miss him,,he drives a red 32 roadster....hmmm,,,yeah,just like everyone else there at this time of the year..
Actually,the place has that many Kiwis up there at the moment,you would be forgiven for thinking that you have been taken over.. Hey,Dave,,keep up the good work on that 57..I'm looking forward to the finished article..

Thanks Robin! Would be a blast to look up your mates next time I'm out there, hopefully by spring I can have something done of mine that would be fun to make the trip in!!!!

Pat---tentatively planning on Spring or early summer to head out your way---that's if I can stay healthy enough this winter to get at least one of my projects done!!!! It's mainly from your inspiration that the '57 will be LS powered, so I suppose I'm duty bound to bring it by so you can check it out!!!!

I have one word for you David....................................focus! You're almost worse than me for Pete's sake!!!

Do what????Probably a bit late in life for me to pursue that radical of a course of action!!!!!!!

Your fender looks great, Dave! That mod will make people scratch their heads trying to figure out what's different.
