Looks great! The '53 Stude is certainly one of my favorite cars. Just a historical note for any automotive projects: The first year for amber colored turn signals on American cars was 1963. Prior to that they were white or clear.
The modeler's rule of thumb: The worse it smells, the better it works!

Beauty! Loewy is one of my more favorite designers, and his 53 Studebaker is a severly under appreciated piece of art. Compare it against anything else coming out of Detroit and marvel at it's futuristic lines!

There a Blackhawk in the town I live in that's chopped and lowered, tubbed and set up for bracket racing. It looks like it's going 200mph just sitting in the parking lot. 

I have that same kit on my work bench for the 50s GB. I'm doing mine in red with white top (like on my box art), and will use yours as a guideline for how I'm doing. So far I better pull up my socks! 

So long folks!

Another Philo-wonder.

You sure have a nice collection to show, keep them coming and this part of the forum maybe will come alive too.
