FredRPG Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Beautiful and clean build, Manuel. I'd like to offer one small tip if I may, a thin strip of black crepe tape (I use an old roll of Chartpac 3pt tape) across the top of the door and inside edge of the vent window frame to represent the window weatherstripping would be an extra little touch to an already superb job. Again excellent work, I really enjoy your posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotbaker Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Steve, I'd enjoy seeing that video. Gee Mr Moto, sorry I missed your post from Feb last year. This video is a tribute to local racer who passed away, and the first bit is a bit slow, so jump to 6:48 where the engine features. This vehicle was owned and built by local Studebaker dealer, Bert Needham, and Warren Weldon was the main driver through its racing history. Sorry for the hi-jack. Love the Avanti.
