Are those Packard caps in the background?

Yep- They are Packard caps in the background. Pretty good shape too (near perfect). Unfortunately, they are not available. They are my fiance's and apparently have sentimental value of some sort. They are hanging on the wall for her.
As for the studebaker. The body shots are a bit old. I have since turned the frontend into a tilt-nose, added a roll cage, and got rid of the shaved handles and made some exterior handles/mechanisms for it. I have also finished up the rearend and have added custom built traction bars in the rear.
The project is pretty close to being ready to have teh drivetrain dropped in. I'm not going to do any body work this year. I have had the car for 3 years in various forms and I'm tired on watching it sit still. It's time for the car to get on the pavement....ugly or not.
There's a nostalgia 1/8mi drags being held near my house on May 22 (Pacemakers in Mt. Vernon, OH). I'm trying to self impose a deadline to make it. We'll see what happens. It's going to be really tight.
