Stude M5 build
Hey, I'm new here and want to share some pictures of my current build. It's a 48 I got in Nevada with the usual truck rust areas, but pretty good considering it's age. I got it with no drive train or interior. I decided I wanted a modern chassis so I got a 95 explorer and stripped it down to the frame, sold the extra parts and came out with a free rolling frame with an 8.8 posi, 4 wheel disc brakes and torsion independant front suspension with rack and pinion. The track and wheel base were very close to the original truck, just has to cut the back of the cab opening a little wider to get it to sit down on the frame.
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
