Amazing how much can be done in a small space. 31 years ago I did the bodywork/paint on my Challenger in one of those 10 X 20 storage buildings:

If you like your headlights, you can keep your headlights.
It was a joke about your posting it three times. Nothing to do with the statement. I understood what you did for the guy.

That 53 Studebaker was one of the best looking cars of the day. Cousin had a black one. I've only seen two in the last 50 years.

Yeah, I shaved the rear handles---good catch. Also note the hidden headlights and SS427 hood. Both later went on a fast back I put together. Big cars with 4 speeds are fun. Can't see the fender gills but they're there:

I located it about four years ago. It is a high end restored in a private Corvette collection. I gave him all the original paperwork from Glenway. The dealership is long gone as was shut down by Obama's car czar in 2009. Did you know of the dealership?

I live about 5 minutes from it's Glenway location and from it's new location before it shut down. The "new" dealership is now a St. Vincent DePaul (kinda like a Goodwill) store.
