1951 Studebaker Fastback Woody by Hill's Rod & Custom

 This 1951 Studebaker Fastback Woody, crafted by Hill's Rod & Custom, is a true masterpiece. The car was expertly designed and even started, but unfortunately, the project came to a halt and the car went up for auction. Fortunately, the winning bidder saw its potential and brought it to Hill's for completion. The original chassis was in rough shape, but rather than starting from scratch, they opted for a Hill's spec'd chassis from Art Morrison, ensuring the best possible foundation for this iconic vehicle.  

Then, the focus shifts to the heart of the beast - the 390 FE engine. This isn't just any engine; it boasts a custom intake system, a design so bold it graced the cover of Hot Rod magazine in 1959! This incredible piece of automotive history is now powering this customer's dream car. The meticulous craftsmanship continues with a hand-built exhaust system, custom headers, and a fabricated transmission tunnel. Even the stock surge tank gets a makeover with custom water lines, a thermostat, and a cooling system designed for optimal performance. This isn't just a build; it's an art form. It's a testament to passion, skill, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
