1960 Studebaker Lark VI

Started work on the airbox I like how it came out but I might do another variation with a radius on the side toward the motor that would follow the radius of the filter.

It won't be 100% sealed but it'll be close and the tube will be different.







After I finished narrowing the axle I tried bolting up the mounted steel wheels and they were still a good ways off from fitting without modifying the body.

I started looking around for another wheel that would fit and came across a different American racing torque thrust style that had various offset options, had the correct center bore clearance, and was actually a 1/2" wider. I looked on summit racing but they were backordered and $200 each which I didn't really want to fork out.

After taking some better measurements of the fender and seeing that these wheels would fit really well, I was set on finding some so I entered the part number into Google and found some places selling them cheaper but the one that really surprised me was Walmart, yes Walmart and they were $30 cheaper each than on summit with free shipping and no tax. I placed the order the week before Thanksgiving and they arrived last Wednesday.

They're a matte grey with a deeper machined lip than the other torque thrust wheel I tried and they're about half the weight of the steel ones and I like how they go with the stainless trim on the car as well.
