Default Progress Report

I will join in with the others showing their recent progress. I have most of the front end sheetmetal back on the car now and have started to run the harness. Got great service from Speartech again last night. I had a question about a connector and sent him an email about 8 p.m California time last night (Satuday), I was expecting to get a response back some time on Monday. I had a response back in 30 minutes! Thanks John! Here are a couple pictures, it looks like a Studebaker again. I still have a "To Do" list as long as my arm, and still have things to add to it, but things are getting crossed off.

Really appreciate all the help you folks on the forum have given me.

Pat

Sweet car, even if everybody at the time of its intro said it had a vacuum cleaner front end. I'd love to find a silver hawk and put ls1-2 into it, seeing yours shows how roomy the front end is.

Thanks guys, RWB those Hawks are amazingly available considering they are 45-50 years old. Olly, NorCal is correct, I am about 40 miles North of Sacramento.
