Studebaker 1936 2T2 J5 Pickup Hotrod, One of a kind, Super rare Budget build : Part 1

I was sick of not finding anything on YouTube in regards to the building of budget Street Rods or Hot Rods, Rat Rods yes but good old Street Rods/Hot Rods, no. There's always your $100,000+ show cars but what about Mr average Joe building a budget Rod which when finished still turns heads. I'm going to be taking you through all steps of how I build my Street Rods and hope to seek some advise from other Rodders that have done the things I am stuck on. This truck is extremely rare in Australia and and I have never seen another, I have only ever seen an American version for sale on eBay in the States a few years back, I offered the guy a fortune for the hood badges but he said no!
I have never seen anything this early especially a Studebaker Truck/Pickup posted on YouTube. The closest thing to it would be a 1937 or 38 Coupe Express pickup which are few and far between in them selves. This starting life out as a 1 1/2 Tonne flat bed truck and has been turned into a Pickup, nothing unusual but a 1936 Studebaker, when's the last time you saw one?

Parts 1,2 & 3 are a continuation of the same days filming. Other clips to follow will be much shorter and date back before this footage was taken, during the different stages of the build.
