Well nothing of note yet on the research, however I got a phone call from the Studebaker museum and they said they had info to send me and please forward $43. Well before I send them $43 I am going to make sure that they have info and not just a note that, "they are sorry but they don't have any information". I have been burned like that before. As for photos, the shop has a throwaway camera that I gave them and they said they will take some pictures as progress is made. However I will hedge my bet and stop off periodically and take some myself.

PS: they say "that everyone that comes in loves the car(why not, what's not to love" Of course he is still trying to get me to do a body off. I told him not unless he is willing to do the job for the original price and in the time frame contracted for. Then the place gets kind of quiet. Truth to tell I wish I could but the lottery fairy has not rested on my shoulder yet so...............

PPS: Called the Studebaker museum today and they told me that the info they have is the "Build Sheet" for the car,
so I am mailing them the check and will wait in breathless anticipation to see what light this sheds on the car.
