I came across this video tonight featuring The STP gang, even a very brief shot of who I call the mortician, Byers Burlingame. In one scene from the Santa Monica shop notice the Studebaker boxes & wonder if any contained R-3 & R-4 pieces. In the closing credits it lists "Bill Dredge" as a technical advisor, no doubt THE Bill Dredge we all have heard about here through the years. Still, an enjoyable 1/2 hour to spend watching:

Very nice!
I noticed this one up in the corner for the '64 race. At the beginning (1:38)there's a '64 Wagonaire
Looks like it's already bent up under the front bumper.
