Is there any market for replacement sets of indicator arrows?
I'm going to look into having some made by a local vinyl graphics shop.
Anyone else out there interested?
They're not hard to make, but I thought a professional set would look better than me making some out of black tape and Exacto knofe.
Sorry about my earlier blank reply. I have been told that the Studebaker Avantis green indicator plastic lenses all originally had arrows. However, the paint wears and flakes off over time. See p. 88 of my book for the exact size of the arrow if you do not already have a good example.

I would not get obsessive about getting exactly the right shade of off-white. As others have said, Ford truck Wimbledon White is as close as you can get. Why do I say not to get obsessive? Most of the experts say that Studebaker itself was not consistent in the exact shade of off white they used. As for lacquer, enamel, base coat/clear coat, etc.--go with a very hard and durable paint that is chemically "dried."

I think all the decal locations are shown in the photo section of my website: www.avantipublishing.com.
Hog Troughs
in 1963-64 Avanti
Posted
I am getting close to the point where I need to replace my hog troughs on my '63. Do any of you on this forum have any experience on the such matters as 1) fit, 2) ease of installation, 3) strength, 4) durability/resistance to rust, and 5) good instructions as it relates to the product offered by a) Gearge Dimitsas (.063" cold rolled steel, galvanized and zinc plated) and
Classic Enterprises (offered in "Standard Steel" and Stainless Steel).
I notice that for ease of installation the Classic Enterprises product comes in 4 pieces per side. Does this end up compromising the strength after the installation is complete?
