Keep in mind if you want to retain the original steering wheel then the spline count is the same as Ford. GM has a different spline count to the Stude.

I love the story.
If true maybe it was a way of reducing costs.
Keep digging.

You can buy them, they are called saddles from memory.
I think I bought a set from SI years ago.
Looks like they are $82.50US ea

Yes, the one to the rear of the rear seat.
Not sure what purpose it was intended for other than to let in road noise ,rain,heat and/or debris.

What have people done with the "useless hole". I like the idea of keeping it as a vent for the fuel vapours to escape but would like it to be waterproof enough to not let water in. Any thoughts?

Not sure if this helps or not but sometimes the fibreglass section where the hinge bolts to the body (ie the hinge pocket) cracks and breaks. If that it the source of the problem then repair or replace that section. My passenger side had that problem.

I bought a 63 Avanti out of NY and it was full of rust if that is any help.

That's quite interesting!
..........Do you know if Granatelli owned it at that time, and did your dad possibly have any correspondence with him?
My father bought it off a friend who started it up in the early to mid 80's. Not sure when Granatelli owned it, but if he did around that time then maybe there is some correspondence around. It changed names to Auto Masters in the late eights from memory, maybe Andy found out someone was using the name and not paying?
I will ask him the next time i see him.
ps Auto masters is still in business.

I don't know the answer but my father owned Tune up Masters in Australia at one time.

Oops, your right JLBKY.
Even easier to remove and replace with a cover.

Have a look on the Bob Johnstone Studebaker site.
There is a link to surviving Avanti's cars on that. It doesn't have all of them but you can scroll around maybe you will recognize it.
It would be easier with the vin number if you could locate one on an old photo or something.

As previously stated that sounds like the location of the partial flow oil filter as used on early blocks. It can however be used on later full flow blocks as well with the use of a cover to allow the oil to circulate around the engine and be filtered on top. Right hand drive cars for instance used the partial flow location on later blocks as the steering arm can hit the oil filter with the full flow set up and limit steering.
Have a look on the passenger side lower rear portion of the block for a cover plate. If you have the cover plate you can remove the 2 bolts and install the full flow bracket and oil filter into its original location and remove the partial flow from on top of the motor.
I hope that makes sense.

The car was/is owned by Dan Skidmore.
Not sure if he had an extra part in the film or not.

What paint did you use for the body and does it get cooked in the booth?
Beautiful by the way.
Any chance you are holidaying in Western Australia soon?
