mr moto Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 There is a survivor racing Cruiser down here fitted with an R4, and it sounds awesome. The motor was acquired and fitted to the cruiser.I can post YT vid if anyone is interested.Steve, I'd enjoy seeing that video.
Maindrian Pace Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Wow, a nicer job on that kit has never been seen. Outstanding!
FredRPG Posted March 19, 2017 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.
slotbaker Posted March 19, 2017 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.
Dirtracer22 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Super cool cars and I've always loved the quirkiness of them. You've done an outstanding job with this one. You should be very proud.
Cpt Tuttle Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I think I could look for hours at the detailing....very good work.
Deathgoblin Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Very nice build!! I know this is an older one, but I missed it somehow.
Robberbaron Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Not sure how I missed this one when it was originally posted, either. Easily the best Avanti build that I've ever seen, period!
PARTSMARTY Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Over the top -out of the park-awesome .Absolutely amazing build of a great car.Congrats !!!

Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 That looks awesome!! How did I loose this one??
Roger U Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Nice build. Great detailing. I've always liked the Avanti.
mr moto Posted April 14, 2017 Author Posted April 14, 2017 This thread seems to keep coming back to life! Thanks to everyone for all the great comments. Here are a few more photos from the construction phase.
Classicgas Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 Wow! Stunning! Awesome! Incredible! Hands down the nicest Avanti, or Studebaker model I have ever seen.
Peter Lombardo Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Crazy how I missed this back then, as everyone is saying....... Wow, impressive build.
Calb56 Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 I love the detail work on the engine. All in all a beautiful piece of art.
