Heres a 50 Studebaker pickup which I'm not really sure there is a resin of yet? You could bondo up a 50 Chev Truck to look like it if you were really desperate.......

This is a idea from a real car done in the early sixties that is so crazy that I might have to try it. If the real car went together realitively easy , maybe a model would too. Take your AMT 53 Studebaker and mate it with your AMT 59 El Camino and this is what you get. It kinda goes back to the early modeling times when kids would join two different cars together trying to get a radical custom. I'll try to find a pic, but a good combo together is the front of the 61-63 T-Bird front end with the quarters of the 62-64 Lincoln Continental, Dont laugh , it looks pretty good!

Heres a wild Riviera from the sixties, Eugene Vic recently found the car , so I drew it. You could build a model if......... The Riv and the Trendero drawings you showed are kool! I've had both in project form for a long time. The Trendero is tougher to do than the Riv. Too many projectsl, not enough time. I need to spend more time finishing projects than starting them? There is a resin early fifties Studie pickup.

Now I really, really like the No Club Shirts, both as logo art and as a build concept! ;D Somebody just has to build this car (maybe me, but not for a while, the bench is wayyyyy backed up).

Hey koolkat, thanks for the heads up on a Studebaker truck resin kit. I'm going to look for one, I'd like to build some kind of custom version of one. That Riv would be a challenge , but would be fun. Bernard, I agree! I could see using some old Monogram indy wheels and tires as a starting point maybe.

The only place I've seen them is on eBay, by Frontier Resin Design. I doubt they are Modelhaus quality, though. The Stude pickup is expensive, about $70 or so. Here's a link to one of their other products, so you could at least watch one of their auctions and hope to find the Stude pickup eventually. They don't have them for sale all the time. I am sure you will hear some pro and con feedback on the quality of their products. Here's a link to their Green Hornet resin body, not sure if it's TRAKABLE... cgi.ebay.com/green-hornet_W0QQitemZ230398645427QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a4d454b3Although they look fine in the photos, you might want to actually see one of these resins in person to determine if it meets your standards. I've never seen one other than in small photos.

It was a 53 stude with 59 el camino rear section. I need to scan it and post it up.
