  1. This is what I found in my 73. I new it had crap in it, but was surprised to see this. This is the pass side and was not rusted out, but I had to do the driver side  due to rust. Did them both with new so I will not have to worry about them again.

  2. To add to the conversation I have been in the paint business since the mid 70s. Until the mid 80s most paint when purchased from any company you tried to get a "factory pack" that was mixed from the mfg, with the idea of a better match, not always the case. Also the paint store did the mixing unlike today most larger shops have there own mixing bank and scales. Add to that and every person sees colors different I think its hard to say who is correct and who is wrong.

  4. Thank you for the info.I was afraid of the quarter window rubber problem from reading older post.I was hoping this was maybe in production again, sounds like no luck. I will continue to watch and shop as thiis is just the start of the project

  5. Thank you for the welcome. This is a bucket list car for me for a long time. I wanted an early car and with no moon roof. This is a real project car but was in Midwest so I went for it. I have received the build sheet for it but will not put back orig. I own a restoration and street rod shop doing complete builds and repairs so this not new to me. I have done a few frame off Studebakers in the past so I think I know enough to be dangerous. I have not seen the car in person but sent a close car buddy to look it over and make the deal for me. I think the frame is fair and one hog trough is supposed to be ok. I am planning on it all being bad so when I see it this weekend for pick-up maybe I will not be disappointed

  6. This is a 73 RQB1984. I have purchased this car and it will be relocated to Des Moines Iowa this weekend. The car is complete but is very sad state of repair. Has been sitting in bad conditions with stuck motor for a while. It will be restored and updated.
