1964 Full Package R2 GT

[jbwhttail]

After nearly four years of FULL body off restoration of all mechanical, electrical and body, the car is ready for a trip to the International Meet in Mansfield Ohio in two weeks.

From this to this

A very long road and trying at times, one thing for sure................ I am too old for another project!

[Lou Van Anne]

Here is my "problem child".....also a full package R2.....she's been behaving all summer! She won't be at the International but she will be at the Pacific Southwest Zone Meet in Sacramento this Septemeber.....

I'm stealing your quote: "A very long road and trying at times, one thing for sure................ I am too old for another project!"

jbwhttail- Congratulations!! Wow, your Hawk turned out absolutely beautiful! You should be very proud. And to have it done in time for the International Meet is just awesome!! Congratulations again!

[GTCruiser]

Beautiful car! Very well done! Looking forward to seeing it in Ohio.

[Commander Eddie]

It is so good to see these cars being returned to their original condition, or better, and put back on the road. One more returns to the highway!

This was the car on May 30th of this year It came along way in the past 90 days, the wife insisted it HAD to be done. I retired two years ago in October, I have had a "new" job since May..............complete the car. Or I guess face her wrath!

What's the best reason to own 1964 Studebakers?

...you get to paint them Bordeaux Red!

Jbwhttail - Too bad that it wasn't in Fed Fox's Feature Articles on '64 Hawks. Send him ssome pictures and decription and he may do an update.
The Hawk looks great. Two comments - wipers and antenna.

[jbwhttail]

Wipers and
antenna are installed.

Thanks. I guess that my picture is too small to see the details (wipers). I did see an antenna that appears to be sloped back rather than upright.

EDIT: It is a major complement if that is all that I notice on your excellent Hawk.
