StudBuster Wreck

When doing quality body work removing old plastic filler is typically a good measure in the case of this old Studbuster, where the filler was badly cracked and some had already fell away, removal was a must. This Studebaker was obviously in two wrecks, the poor repair of the first obviously causing the second accident. The rear wheel bearing would have been damaged in the first impact, unrepaired, such damages will always be a accident waiting to happen, as proven with this Studebaker.

No those aren't Mountain Ranges, that is body work. I have always said, as in the case of bad bodywork: if bad work is what it took to keep a car alive, then so be it, I would much rather see bad bodywork then to see a car junked. This bodywork certainly tests my theory, but for this old Stude to become dog food cans, ok, cringe, that bodywork was beautiful, cringe. However am I going to save that quarter, ya, I'm sure I could, but why, it's a flat piece of tin with a gentile welded curve. Simply the amount of time and money for supplies to repair that, no I'll make a new quarter. The fender I will probably fix, as I don't imagine I will find a cheap replacement, and the steel is still solid.
