Popular Post munzieb Posted April 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just finished a Charles Dearing design of a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk. I was always impressed with the Raymond Loewy design. I had to go bigger than my EX16 just so I could drill and cut all the 300+ holes in the grill and the text. Lots of very skinny lines and holes in both directions to make it work. Stuck back all the cutouts and blue taped so I could sand the back. I was able to find the original Studebaker font thou I had to modify it to work. 1/8" BB on 1/4 BB black background. I was able to quickly cut the picture frame on my table saw miter saw sled. Several coats of lacquer. On to a '65 GTO for my next project, thanks to SSV design patterns.

munzieb Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Thanks all for the compliments. It was some what of a daunting cut but really enjoyed it. Once I'm finished with the GTO, I may try the '54 Studebaker Commander. I'll need to move on to another topic after that. I have to keep trying something new or different.

Ron Johnson Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 A true classic. I'm fortunate to have grown up in an era when real vehicles were produced. Very beautifully done Bernd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again to Charles Dearing for a wonderful design. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Beautiful job! I have a friend that drives a Studebaker Hawk that era, that he restored. Pretty neat car. He also had an Avanti but for some reason, did not like it. Edited April 24, 2018 by Scrappile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Very nicely done impressive, like the frame you used. edward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Ed, I have used this molding for frames on several projects. It's about 3/4". I can make quick work of it with my table saw miter sled. I'll typically glue/pin nail the long top sections and sneak up on the side cuts until I get a perfect fit. Glue and pin nail in place. Here is the link for Lowes where I bought it. https://www.lowes.com/pd/0-688-in-x-8-ft-White-Hardwood-Chair-Rail-Moulding/3040323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
