sab82264 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) New to the site. Saw a link on the HAMB so here I am, lol. I own a 48 Dodge 2dr sedan. Its my second 1948 Dodge. My last one was a coupe, and I owned it when I was 20 yrs old, in 1984. I got this one for a trade of 4 Weld Alumstars and tires, I think it was a great trade!

greg g Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Welcome, I notice in the third pic the facsimile wheel chock. Necessary if the E brake isn't working. Looks like a solid example, is it still stock or has it been tinkered with?? Is it driveable? Quote
Reg Evans Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Nice car ! Hey......... it was born the same year I was. The body has held up better than mine. Quote
littlemo Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Why are those "lake-pipes" capped?? Be proud, run those "puppies" OPEN !! lol... Welcome to a great forum !!! Cass, alias littlemo... Quote
sab82264 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Shes basically a stocker, the engine was rebuilt by the previous owner, it ran from a coffee can when I bought it. The fuel pump wont pump, it had no gas tank. I installed a 12 gal fuel cell, and ran 3/8 fuel line and have an electric pump to install(originally planned on swapping in a newer V8, but now I want to upgrade the flat6 to a split header and dual carbs). The e brake works but it was a little weak and since it was at another guys shop I didnt want it drifting out into traffic, lol. She is pretty solid, but has all new floors and trunk floor(also previous owner). I have all new flat glass to install(have a real good source for that if anyone needs any). It has recovered original seats and Im doing the door panels to match. The visor came from California, and I love the louvers punched into it. Im still searching for some bits and pieces, better chrome, clips to install the rocker chrome, a continental kit, and 5 nice Studebaker caps like the ones in the last pic, and then a headliner and carpet. Should be a nice cruiser when Im done. Quote
windsor8 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Nice two door don't see many of them. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Hi. Welcome. Good looking ole Dodge. I noticed those Stude wheel covers right off.........with spinners, even. I suspect there are some better condition caps out there somewhere. What part of the country do you live in? Quote

Don Coatney Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 . What part of the countrydo you live in? Not real sure but I believe he resides in Camp Hill Pa Quote
sab82264 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 Yes, I live in Camp Hill PA. I sold off the spinner caps after I was unable to find a 4th. seems everyone had 3 like me.....so now Im on the hunt for 5 nice ones with out spinners......yep I want a matching spare, plan on a continental style spare and splitting my ribbed 49 bumper Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Well, your only a stone's throw from either Hershey or Carlisle when those events come around. If you can't find what you want there, it probably doesn't exist. Quote
