If you're not familiar with "Bad Chad's" work, he fabricates wild customs on a budget. No high six-figure "open-check book" here. His modified 1939 Studebaker, named Royal RespectĀ is, IMO, one of THEEE BEST custom 'Studes you'll ever see.Ā You can fast-forward through the 20 minute video...Ā Ā I just want everyone to see the car from all angles.

Christopher, I admire his capabilities and the extensive restyling but don't care too much for full customs that take bodywork and modification to the extent he did here. Thanks for sharing this one.Ā

@tldaly Well, to be frank....Ā Ā I like customs FAR LESS than I did when I was younger.Ā I prefer totally 100% stock, zero custom, add-ons, mods, aftermarket, etc.... Every now & then, however, I see something I really admire. This 1939 custom Studebaker is such a car, right down to that gorgeous, deep color.
