Anyone for a Studnimo?

WaytooFurious

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cross an El Camino with a Studebaker? Well according to this ad on eBay you wind up with a Studnimo. The unfortunate thing about this add is that it does not really show the true potential of this car. Check out the pictures after the jump and you will see that given the right wheels and paint you can wind up with a sensational car. I first spotted this completed Studnimo at Euroa a couple of years ago, and have seen it at various shows since then. Do you think this is a worthwhile project?

It definitely looks like something off the movie, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” Looks like the perfect car for A “Who” lol

The thing that always catches my eye on these types of conversions is the challenge of getting the roof and hood to look right with the older body pannels. I am still waiting to see one where they get that transition right. I think the doors and back fenders are molded in nicely, but the square roof just kills it for me.

In primer it looked junky but finished it’s not bad, different for sure.

Not my cup O’ noodles, but definitely better than that Benz debacle.
