I still don't understand why people throw these cars into a barn and don't do anything to them for decades. Now after rotting away for 30+ years they want to bring it back out and restore it. Had they put the car in a garage and monthly started the car and/or washed it, pumped up the tires, etc., the car would still be flawless. I have a 2019 Golf R that I bought brand new in 2019. It's my play car so it doesn't see rain. Once a month I wax and detail it out and after 3 years with only 1000 miles, the car looks better than it did when I bought it. The battery is on a tender so it's fully charged. When I do drive it, I warm it up slowly and try to drive it at least 10 miles so everything stays lubed. If you are going to park it and do nothing to it for 50 years, then just sell the car...get rid of it.
Have you ever did a 1992 svx before?
@@pokeman8030 6
It has that locking gas cap so the mice couldn't get in the gas tank because they ain't got no octane rating to begin with...
For the engine question. I would put an electric motor with around 400hp and around the same number of pound-feet of torque. Reinforced suspension, and around 90kWh battery pack. perfect for some fun and weekend rides.
First and worst, when you get the new brake drum you will find that the hub is permanently attached. The drum is supposed to be removed by taking off the nut in the center and using a special heavy duty puller designed for this type of brake. This error is not entirely your fault as the wheels on the LEFT side of the car are supposed to have left hand threaded studs. Somehow, the brake drums were installed incorrectly. If the new drum you ordered has right hand threads install it with the correct lug nuts. To make a 100% correct repair replace the remaining left hand wheel studs in the front hub with right hand threaded studs and nuts. This type of wheel stud arrangement was discontinued in later model years and the car will operate with all right hand threaded lugs. Since you have broken all of the wheel studs you must remove them from the hub and mount the puller with 1/2 inch bolts. The hub mounts to the axle shaft with a tapered fit and a key and requires much force to remove. As to the "radiator" under the front seat, that is actually the heater core. You will find the blower fan inside the right front fender. This is normally connected to the heater core box by a 4" flexible hose. This was probably removed by whoever removed the engine. There were also water hoses which connected the heater core to the engine cooling system. What engine to put in the car depends on whether you wish to do a complete restoration or make the car more dependable for every day driving. A restoration would require the original engine be put back in the car. Many Studebakers have had Chevrolet engines installed. This is quite easy as Studebaker used Chevrolet engines in 1965 and 1966. You can use factory original components such as engine mounts, transmissions, exhaust systems, radiators Etc for 1965 and 1966 model cars to install a Chevrolet engine in nearly any Studebaker built after 1951 without having to make major changes to the chassis or body. For further information contact the Studebaker Drivers Club.
Thank you, this is a lot of GREAT info! Much appreciated!!
@@WDDetailing .....G'day,
for any vehicle, contact the associated club (if possible).
Cheers with appreciation,

For old chrome I use 0000 wire wool. It removes the rust and polishes the chrome with no scratches.
This is a great response.
Wow, now I know!! 😊👍
In case everyone else hasn’t told you already, that “radiator” under the seat is part of the “Climatizer”. That’s the main heater core for the cabin. There should be another small core up under the dash for the defrost and the blower assembly is behind the passenger side front wheel. The little “doors” on the front fenders lets fresh air into the heater or directly into the cabin.
I'd like to add that the water valve to regulate the amount of hot water going to the heater core is under the hood on the fire wall about where the glovebox is.
Interesting! My (nearly identical) 1955 coupe didn't have the "Climatizer" option, apparently. Mine has an after market heater core that bolts to the inside of the firewall. I wonder if the Climatizer heaters were limited to the hardtops? Does anybody know?
I've sure seen similar under-seat heaters. My London Taxi has a similar sort of heater - under the passenger seat in the back! (No comforts for the poor sap driving the taxi! )
@@tedpreston4155 Climatizers we’re available from 1939 on. They weren’t standard equipment though so many cars were produced with heaters like yours.
Studebaker engineers were pretty sharp, locating the Climatizer under the seat. Even heat front and back and for Southern cars that did not need a heater, all the cars came with a small defrost under the dash.
Owning your mistake speaks volumes of your character. The world needs more people like you guys.
" Owning your mistake speaks volumes of your character. "
Speaks volumes about Putin
Me too
I've great respect for a person who owns up to their mistakes and takes responsibility for them. You're a good man and an example for others.
I think the reaction alone puts this video in the top 5. Nothing like seeing an old man relive memories and become a child again. You know he's gonna have the biggest smile on his face when he can take it out driving for the first time. Great job fellas!
I teared up watching him!
I had the wagon version of this while I was in the Army in ’62. That radiator under the seat was the heater. I was too young to fix it and had many very cold trips back to Fort Bragg. Thank you for the great memories.
That was my first guess heater core
This brings some great memories to this 83 year old gear head. As a teeager my girlfriend's father owned a Studebaker very similar to this one. He allowed me to use it for dates with his daughter. He even asked me to teach his wife to drive in this car. Some memories never die.
The owner's reaction was EVERYTHING!!!!
Excellent life lessons...you make a mistake, you own up to it and make it right for the customer...this is how we learn and couldn't be more proud to support you and this channel
You guys are the best!!!
Yeah, the next time he gets a Studebaker out of a container< he'll know exactly what to do!
Don't be so hard on yourself, it could have happened to anyone, after all, how often does anybody work on a studebaker.The fact that you admitted your mistake and made the customer aware of it and made it right is what matters most, this is another reason why I subscribe to your channel.Your respectful, you don't use foul language,and you always do a fantastic job.You and your family can be proud of the work you do.Continued success my friend.
My lord...this one got to me. Watching his reaction to the car after it was cleaned up brought tears to my eyes. You guys are special...smart with kind hearts. Your parents must be proud.
His reaction is what it's all about life is short when your able to put a reaction on a person like you did that's a awsome blessed moment ❤
Couldnt think of a better person to tackle this car. Great job buddy!! The look on his face at the end was priceless!
What a beautiful reaction from the owner I hope his wife was well enough to see it Oh the memories they must have Great job gentlemen
Loved this, what a beauty! I owned a Studebaker Lark, pink no less, when I was 19 - I'm now 81. This brought back memories!!!!
Watching the owners reaction was truly heartwarming! You guys should be commended! When I was a kid during the early to mid 60's, my parents had a 57 Ford Fairlane Custom sedan !! We moved to L.A. in 60 and kept the Ford but my Mom got a 63 T-Bird that had been Repo'd, so she got a good deal!! But in 65, we moved back to Ohio, sold the T-Bird, and drove the Ford home! When I was a Junior in High School, I worked part time for a Buick dealer which is where I got my first car which a customer traded in on a new Buick. That was a 67 Olds Cutlass convertible and I LOVED it, and wish I still owned it!!!
RAYMOND LOWRYS DESIGN IS TIMELESS ,SUCH A LOVELY AUTOMOBILE
In 1955 my parents brought me home from the hospital in their 1952 Studebaker.
Because my Mom worked for Western airlines they flew back east a few times when they went to pick up a new car and then drove it back to California.
I have a picture of my Mom sitting on the front fender of the Studebaker on their trip back home.
My dad had a 1955 Studebaker President Speedster. The Speedsters were easily identified by a circular medallion on the side trim just behind the door opening. There were only 15,000 of these made and they were intended to be owned by the dealers themselves. It cost my dad $3800. It had a tri-tone paint scheme of a white top, Pimlico gray hood, fender tops and deck lid, and Congo ivory lower sides. The seats were upholstered in Congo ivory leather. The front bench seat had an asymmetric back where the driver's portion was approximately 1/3 of the whole. The reason for this was to make it easier for passengers to enter the rear seating from the curb since this car was a two-door coupe. The carpeting was red horse hair. The inside door panels were also leather, this time in Pimlico gray. I believe the headliner was white leather. All of the leather interior was cross stitched in a diamond pattern. The instrument panel was made of machine turned aluminum and supported an array of Stewart Warner gauges with a tachometer. The speedometer ranged up to 160 MPH. The engine was basically a Cadillac engine with smaller bores in the cylinders to give a displacement of 289 cubic inches. It was topped off with a Rochester 4-BBL carburetor. The automatic transmission was a Borg Warner 3 SPD of the same type as used in the Mark X Jaguar sedan. This model had more chrome and stainless steel trim than any of the line. My dad's car had the optional stainless steel wire wheel covers.
My family had a 1954 Studebaker Champion 2-door sedan (maroon over a cream white) that we bought new. My mom and I on a Easter weekend in 1956 totaled it in Vinita, OK. I still have the 3-legged pop-out rear arm rest (we had left it at home for the trip). We had owned a 1948 Studebaker Landcruiser, a 1951 V-8 Landcruiser, a 1952 Champion 2-dr hardtop, and the 1954 Champion 2-dr sedan. Fond memories.
Wow. Incredible video and the best you've made thus far. Excellent work on every part of the car. Also, true professionalism when owning your mistake. I'm proud of you guys and the work you do.
More great storytelling guys. You’ve really grown into more than just a detailing channel. I still wish I could find these old cars like you guys do.
They are finding such interesting classics.
@@joycerichardson1810 So true! Wish I had their pipeline of sweet rides!
The love this man had for this car and how much he wants his wife to see it is so sweet. I hope his wife is ok. He is a real sweetheart. You guys did great.
YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE MEMORIES RUNNING THROUGHT HIS HEAD.. PRICELESS
On the wheel studs, first try drilling a hole in the center of the bolt. The bit should bind and spin the bolt out. If that doesn’t work try a self tapping bolt and that will definitely bind and give you something to use to turn the bolt. Hope that helps.
The mistake is so minor compared to the reaction and emotion you were able to give that man. It sucks because if that lug issue didn't happen it would have been a perfect job! Look at it this way, how much would it have cost you to go to a class and be taught what you now know going forward? Great job guys! Really enjoyed the step by step process. Gave it a major like!
What a nice Man. So grateful. I’m glad you included this Man in your video. Ten thousand thumbs up!
Outstanding job folks!!! Old man remember the old times and your wife!!! Really you are making crying!!! God blessed you !!!
I am in awe!
Great job!
Always looking for your videos you guys do great jobs on old cars keep it going
Fantastic job! The owner was moved and grateful ❣️💕‼️

I always like to see the before/after shots of the car. Also the owner’s reactions.
You asked about cars our parents had owned. My parents had some nice cars when I was a little boy-Austin-Healey 3000, ‘65 Thunderbird. About 1970 my parents bought a ‘65 Mustang. I fell in love with the car the moment I saw it. I drove it some in high school and college in the 1980s. My parents kept it for me while I was in grad school and getting established. I was finally able to pick it up when my father passed away about 10 years ago and haul it a couple of states away. It needed work. My mother was able to come to visit and see it running; she got to ride in it one last time. She passed about seven years ago. Since that time I have gotten it about 95% restored. It’s won trophies in car shows. I’ve driven it in parades. I often wish I could show it to my parents.
Austin-Healey 3000s are my favorite!!! Such a great car and a good motor. They fetch a terrific price now.
Joyce Richardson: My wife has remarked that she wishes my dad had kept the Austin-Healey instead of the Mustang. Don't get me wrong; she likes the Mustang, too. But she thinks the AH would be a lot of fun to tool around in.
Wow... the segment where a valuable lesson was learned with left hand threaded lug nuts really hit home for me! When I was 18, I bought a 1950 Oldsmobile which had the same issue, and I didn't know that this was really common back in the 50s. Of course I was using a 4-way lug wrench, and being-- as my Dad used to say, "strong as an ox, and almost as smart as one"-- I didn't break any of the studs, but I sure twisted the lug wrench almost all the way around! Luckily my Dad came out to check on me (hearing me cursing loudly) and explained about left hand threads! Man, those were some tight lugs!
I don't think Chrysler figured out that everybody else's left wheels were NOT falling off until sometime in the mid-60s. My '66 Dodge van had left-hand threads on one side or the other. I don't remember which.
It was common knowledge back then.....
It´s always nice to see one of this jewels come back to life; I saw them when I was a kid on the late fifties and it was a pleasure!
My Grandma had a Studebaker Silver Hawk. Even as a young boy I knew it was an awesome car! I'm 66 now...
That radiator looking thing is and underseat heater Studebaker and Packard used them as optional equipment - other companies used them too.
I know it came with a straight 6. But a 289 like the Studebaker Hawk had would go right in there. Put a period Paxton centrifugal supercharger on it and put an overdrive behind that 3 speed you'd have a really cool period sleeper.
That's a great idea!!
Great work! So awesome to see the joy you brought to the owners. Don’t beat yourself up about the rear drum. Everybody that works on these classic cars has similar stories/experiences. You breathed a lot of new life into that Studebaker and learned some new things in the process.
Love the content brother
I love these videos!I'm 65 and south African and my dad was a backyard macanic and I grew up with a Hudson hornet 1950s .I loved my dad's Hudson and he sold it and bought a Pontiac ..amazing memories.
My dad had a '71 Chevelle station wagon from '86-'92. I LOVED that car. He was the second owner and we lost track of it 3 owners later. After 15 years of searching, I have found his old car sitting in Kentucky. I'm in the process of buying it back, once I work out how to ship it.
You are amazing precious people. Not many caring people like you these days! 🎉
That was an amazing transformation. Great job, guys!
Thank you guys for loving what you do to beautiful old
This is like a very enjoyable rabbit hole, i started with Matts then went to Rooby Layton and now yours, man I'm really digging your content,
BTW....don't worry about breaking things like where studs. This is how you learn. You are honest and hard working with your customers needs at heart.
I commend you for doing such honest work and doing right by your customer.
Mistakes or no mistakes, you guys are super!
My Grandmother had a 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk. I was 6 or 7 years old. I'm 67 now. I remember that awesome car very well!
Definitely one of my top 5 favorites you guys have done so far. 👍👊
Good way to handle a mistake....you were 100% honest.
Absolutely beautiful. I have a 1955 President coupe, virtually identical but for having a V8 and B pillars and flip out rear windows. Love what you are doing.
Mind blowing transformation
What a team great job guys I sure enjoyed the whole video . To see
The results of the efforts to see that classic it shine again !
Awesome reveal you did such a great job very professional!!
Well done guys
Love the detailing & the enthusiasm
Keep it up & best of luck ❤
Your best videos are the ones where we can see the owners before and after.
My mother had a black on black convertible when I was about 9 or 10. Great memories of sitting on top of the back seat and watching "The 7 Faces of Dr Loo" at the Drive-in.
Exellent workmanship gents!
You are a Good Guy!! Values and our word is basically all we really have at the end of the day! Good on You!
That guy's reaction was priceless. He looked so happy to see something he thought was lost, looks like a kid in front of his dream car.
I'm starting to find true appreciation for the people behind the scenes who create these songs that will only be heard in random youtube videos. I mean those people CREATED these songs and we listen to them all the time lol!
Wow, super cool find.👍
Really enjoy your videos. Very satisfying.
Outstanding!
When I a kid, my folks bought a brand new 1955 Studebaker President Speedster. Green lower body, yellow upper body and green roof. It was awesome! Heads turned wherever we went.
Customer reaction is what makes it all worthwhile. Changing lives one detail at a time.
I had a tiny model of pink studebaker when a kid to play with... A dream... As now, it's an art masterpiece !!!
I want to applaud you guys CZcams fantastic work
Chuck flashed back to how much fun he and his wife had in that car. 🥺
Great cleanup guys
honesty is the best policy you are agood man
I was raised to “stand up and be accountable” when you make a mistake. And you did that very thing. Very impressed.
Great job guys. Looks sweet. Phillly
You’re great guys.
My dad and grandfather drove an 81 Buick Park Ave and a Pontiac Bonneville respectively. I enjoyed driving either one of those cars back and forth during high school. Such great memories.
Beautiful car, glad to see it preserved, and it didn't turn to complete rust bucket. Nice job.
Excellent work young man!
That was a beautiful reaction great job on the vehicle. ✌️
Superb!!!!
Excellent job. Thanks for sharing 😊 she is a gorgeous car. 😍
You are really good 👍 never seen such a beautiful work done by you and you guys very honest and you look like working for your own cars
Keep the good work ❤🎉🎉
Good luck
Like always you guys always do an awesome job
I love the two front fender rear view mirrors.
One of my dream cars right here! Absolutely love Studebakers! Hope to own one someday :)
Great work.
That body shape Stude is, for me, the most beautiful of all the Studes. Shivers!
Excellent job
I love that he was so satisfied with the result, that he didn't even care about the wheel. Well done.
My Dad had a 1957 STUDEBAKER COMMANDER. He loved that car and so did I.
Too bad you aren't closer to us. My husband has a 1960 Starliner that has been garaged for 33 years and I would love to see it detailed the way you do. We hope to get it back on the road this year. Many times through the years we thought we would be ready to go, and the money was just never there. It only has 59000 miles on the engine and just needs new gaskets and wiring from sitting so long. We also plan to have the seats reupholstered. They are fabric and not in the best shape..
Excellent job! My 74' Vette could use your tender loving care. Keep up your great work..
not only do you do great work, but you are a better person. Your parents must be extremely proud of you, they did a great job raising you.
Love watching you guys. Thanks.
Nice video guys! Good personal touch too. I assume there was a LOT more work on that carpet than we saw! 😀
Very cool and professional work... 💐 💐 💐 💐
I hope there will be a second part about repairing the motor and restarting the car. 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹
My Parents drove a 1957 Chevy, then a 1965 Oldsmobile wagon. All eight of us would pile in the wagon, which had a third seat that faced backwards, and go see some movies at the Drive-In. We would make popcorn on the stove and put it in paper grocery bags and brew a large jug of ice tea. What fun!
The heater core on the passenger floor is your floor heat. They work really well..
The owners reaction was great
