[IronFreak]

What? Studebakers or that carb? They are boats, I'll admit but so sexy when done right.

[eurotrash]

Ya there ok for cruising. Thats about it.

[IronFreak]

Studebaker's rule!! I helped my grandpa build a 1953 commander!

Those cabs arent really the hard part to clear its more the mount-subframe clearance mount-starter clearance and starter-frame clearance and the way all of it has to bend around each other smoothly.
