Gunslinger Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Studebaker contracted with MFG to supply complete, painted bodies. We all know how that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted Monday at 01:48 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 01:48 PM I’d guess minor door striker, hood latch and deck lid adjustments were done on Avantis during production… but as we all know it’s impossible to bend/twist fiberglass parts the way metal items can be ‘tweaked’.

Geoff Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago (edited) MFG is still in business, and in fact it was someone at MFG who leaked a sneak peak of the C7 Corvette, pre-release. I read about it on Jalopnik back when it happened, and my brain went. "I KNOW ABOUT MFG! That mutha f^**#n' group!!" My snowed-in winter work has me removing the swinging pieces (doors, hood, trunk) and working on them on some sawhorses in my basement. So I'll be right there in the "How the frig does this go back on, straight?" camp coming next Spring.
