New wheels went on today. Hard to capture what they look like in the bright sun

In fact I just got back from a spirited drive! 😀





RedSoxFan, who did your steering wheel? Thanks

Steering wheel was done by Vette Essentials as was the shift ****. Unfortunately they are no longer around which is a shame because their work was top notch.

My Avanti is an original 1964 Studebaker R2, 4-speed, thee time concours winner. The 79 is a complete Resto mod with an LS3 crate engine, thanks for noticing!

Basically stock (just picked it up 2 weeks ago) for now. Quite a few items coming this winter to make her track worthy.

Only 19k miles, corsa exhaust, hurst shifter, and intake at the moment. Snagged a pair of speedline 18x10.5’s for a square Hoosier R7 setup in the spring

Love seeing ideas for the car. I like the black roof and lower rear bumper... I’ll post pics when I build my CF splitter and rear diffuser. More track oriented but I like the resulting look as well

On the fence about removing the BSM’s.. leaning more towards removal for a cleaner look.
