Progress

Got the dash assembled today. Installed the gauges I also refurbished. Painted all the console metal panels too.

Beautiful work as always Brad. Did you have to do any vinyl repair or is that a repro cover? Bill

[t1003nl]

Wow! That is really nice work!

[bezhawk]

I repaired the vinyl, and redyed it.

[Buzzard]

Nice job Brad!

Beautiful job Brad!

I don't think that Avanti is going to be very much "Turn Key" though!

[bezhawk]

Not yet. (until I get the "key" switch in it.)

[Scott]

Wow. It looks great even as a display out of the car.

I know the Avanti came together by the Lowey team in 40 days, but do we know if the interior design was finished during that same time?

I have always thought the dash/console was a perfect match to the exterior...

Reminds me of a related question (are we getting off track?). Did the original Lowey team design the dash or did Studebaker have in house designer/engineers who were responsible?

[Peddler]

Wait to you see the rest of the project!

[cabforward]

how did you repair the dash

[bezhawk]

It had a "dent" and a little heat to soften the vinyl, and it came right out. Must have had an impact, or something leaning against it.
