mfg Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 On Studebaker Avanti 63R1007 (Bonneville #9) the fiberglass reinforcing cross brace (on the underside of the hood) was removed by the Granatellis to clear the R3 engine assembly.......True?

studegary Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 This sounds familiar, so I will say that this is True. Later R3s were lowered with thinner engine mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3studee Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Bodies were lifted in the front for clearance on all factory R3 Avantis built for production. Not sure about the mules or bonneville cars. Edited January 2, 2020 by R3studee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
