Not a Ranchero or El Camino (or even a Cadillac flower car), in the world that wouldn't pull over and stop to tip their caps to this drop dead gorgeous machine! Great Job!

I agree, Outstanding build! The finish work and details are spot on, also!! Whole lotta work and even more fun to drive around...@y@'s popping out everywhere.

Thanks,

Unfamiliar with Studebaker Commanders? Even radically custom, it preserves every styling cue from the automobile, yet at same time completely unique. Small block Chevy power a common go-to, but I'd have opted for something special. Beautiful concept and project none the less.

Yes — completely unique. Even did away with the windshield center divider, on that smoothly curved windshield. And to completely create a bed and tailgate — amazing. Of course, the fact that the top of the bed is curved against the back of the cab, means it wasn't particularly meant for securing heavy loads.
