1932 Studebaker Indy car racer replica

Gary Ash, from Massachusetts showed up at my shop with a dream about 4 years ago. He started taking coachbuilding/ metal shaping classes from me and at the class he worked on building his own 1932 Studebaker Indy car racer replica.
Previously, he had traveled to see several of the original six cars that were built, gathered folders and a laptop full of pictures and drawings. He had located a shop in Indiana that could make him a frame according to a drawing he had found in his searches. He had the correct style wire wheels, hubs, and knockoffs custom made in England. He had collected the correct Studebaker straight 8 engine, transmission, and rear end. All had to be rebuilt and modified.
After getting most of the chassis sorted out he came to my shop to learn how to make the aluminum body. I suggested that he make a wireform to get started and then take my class. At the class he got busy and also had some help from some of the other students.
Gary is now in the "I finished my project and I'm enjoying the hell out of it phase" Here are a few pictures of the build at my shop and his recent video of him taking his grandkids for a ride in his now registered Studebaker Indy racer. I'm sure his grandkids will get as much a thrill and inspiration from the ride in their grandfather's racer as Gary got from pursuing his dream to it's conclusion.
