1951 Studebaker Commander Walk Around & Rodent Cleanout

First in a series of my recent purchase of 1951 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe. The complete interior & headliner are rodent damaged so I had the unpleasant opportunity to clean out seat debris & rodent droppings being careful not to inhale the dust. Hantavirus according to RUclips videos is a rare disease but usually fatal. Here is the best video I found on that topic: • Hantavirus Rare, Grand...
My next project is installing a Turner Disc brake kit on the front end then upgrading to a dual circuit master cylinder.

One of my favorite body styles. Looks like a solid rebuild candidate. Good luck I'll be watching!

I love these old studebaker bullet noses, especially the ones with the big panoramic rear windows.

Great Car !

Had a 51 Commander years ago, so sorry I got rid of it. One year only with a V8 and the bullet nose. Hard to find. Good luck with this project!

This car is 73 years old as my Grandfather bought one new that same year I was born.

I started using the hepa filter bags in my Rigid shop vac. I always hated the thought of buying bags, but they eliminate the exhaust dust.

Cool!

I’d like to see more videos from you. I remember when those early 50 Studebaker submarines were as common as dirt, and about as cheap.

I just posted 3 more on the '51

There are some pretty good chrome paint products out there, you might be able to save some of the pot metal unibtainium parts that way!

[@600miles]

I've been buying new parts as I find them on eBay. A brand new gear selector for only 20 bucks!

I clean old chrome with aluminum foil and water. Works really well.

[@600miles]

Cleaning is one thing but this chrome is bubbly pot metal.

Just spray the area with spray disinfectant, before vacumming. Dont want to breath airborn particles. Ya gotta clean that underseat heater core!,,,,,,

I'm surprised it's a V8.

First year available.
