Re: seats in the woods
Good productive couple of day's work.
Glad to see the Stude made it safely. I remember the post asking about shipping but can't remember seeing a conclusion. How did you make the running board extensions? Mart. |

Re: seats in the woods
The extensions were made from a slab of douglas fir I found down by the mill. The slab was 16" wide and 60" long. The running board extensions are 28 3/4 x 13 1/2. I planed it to 2 1/8" and routed in some grooves. Then glued in some strips with a bullnosed top. They are sort of crude, but so is the stude. Various layers of paint and primer to blend in. I have a retired friend that likes to make and weld in cab corners. We are going to work out a trade. Last cab corner he did I traded him a puppy. Not sure I will continue this thread since the seats were originally slated for the woodie, but now I got side tracked on the studebaker. And then there's that 48 plymouth woodie that was found at a defunct resort here on the island. It was slated for the crusher, so I dragged it home. What was I to do? But that's for another time.....

Re: seats in the woods
GB, you might try the seats in the early 60's Toyota land cruiser.

Re: seats in the woods
Russ, are you sure about that? Have you seen the prices those things are bringing at auction? I, for one am amazed (and wouldn't pay it either).

Re: seats in the woods
Gary, since you're on quite a roll making woodies out of pickups, how about a combination of the '48 Plymouth and that travel trailer in the background of picture #5?

Re: seats in the woods
And if I can't pay my mortgage because I've spent too many hours on these rolling wrecks, my wife and I could just live in it..... Like that would be so terrible.

What about the Model A with the Mercedes grill sitting in your driveway. How does that fit in the scheme of things? I think you should post a picture of that here on the barn. Quite creative. |

Been so busy getting stuff ready for the Puget Sound Antique Tractor and Machinery Asso annual meet in Lynden Wa, I never even saw this post. Funny how that grill fit right on there with no adjustments. I'll get a pic next week.
