Hi Shaun
I have a 1930 Erskine 5 window coupe. I started with a body and a frame. No suspension, motor, tranny or rear end. The body was complete, but rusty in some areas and the frame was repairable. I have made a studebaker hot rod out of mine. It has stude motor and rear end with S10 5 speed manual tranny.
I made my patch panels and roof at metal meets that we have locally. I started on mine in January 2009 and it is driveable in primer. Hope to paint it next winter. There is a Erskine registry online and I am in the antique studebaker club. The registry has lots of pictures to help identify your car. Do you have the frame? It should have a serial number tag and a stamped serial number. Does your firewall have a body number tag?
