CorvairJim Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The Avanti has long been a favorite of mine, and my wife wants one some day. I'm afraid that a model of one is the best I'll be able to do for her any time soon. Your salty dog might help me get in gear to start yet ANOTHER project!

W-409 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Great Studebaker. I really like the over all look, and stance. This is the thing, I would build from Avanti too, so the subject is interesting, too. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looks good, Curt...but needs more salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Great looking build. As I recall the OEM Avanti"s had a Paxton super charger that blew thru the carb. You're reference photos look like some type of fuel injection setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Great looking build. As I recall the OEM Avanti"s had a Paxton super charger that blew thru the carb. You're reference photos look like some type of fuel injection setup. David, the Dual Paxton R5 Engine used Bendix Fuel Injection.
