The Avanti for me has always been a love/hate thing. I love everything about the car......except those wheel openings. The shape of them throws me in ways I can't describe. I have a dismantled old build up of one that I get down every now and again and start to fiddle with.......but I just can't seen to find a wheel/tire combo that makes that wheel opening look good. I will be buying this new kit though and build it up for my dad.

Do you think any of those differences would show on a 1/25th scale model car ?
The FIRST series of Avanti II were supposedly on Studebaker frames. I've never seen one of these cars, so I don't know. I DO know that the tooling and presses to make pressed-steel factory-style frames are huge, heavy and expensive. When Stude folded, it's difficult to imagine a low-volume producer acquiring this stuff. Maybe the cars were built on stockpiled chassis....I just don't know.
The SECOND series of Avanti II were built on GM frames and running gear (El Camino, Monte Carlo and Caprice). To do an accurate rendition of one of these, you'd need the appropriate frame and guts.

From desperation can come greatness. The Avanti was introduced in April of 1962 at the New York auto show. The fiberglass-bodied luxury car was an immediate sensation, the four-seat personal luxury car had a price tag more than double the Chevrolet Corvette and competed with the then-new Buick Riviera at $4,445. The Avanti was very well-received, however, and the few Studebaker dealerships still remaining were flooded with orders for the car.
Egbert hoped to produce 20,000 of the cars that first year (1962, model year 1963) in the three variations offered - a base V8 in 289 cubic inches, and a Paxton supercharged R2 or R3 model. Many collectors say that the Avanti was not just a personal luxury car, but was the first of the pony cars that would dominate the blue collar muscle car scene a few years later.
Production hit continual delays, mostly due to the fiberglass fabricator chosen to do the job and their inability to keep up with demand. Delays cost Studebaker orders and customers and ultimately limited 1963-64 model year production to only 4,600 units. Production was halted and not long after, Studebaker closed its doors. Conspiracies immediately popped up, a sort of "Who Killed the Avanti?" circulation of half-truths and speculation similar to the Who Killed the Electric Car? conspiracy surrounding the Chevrolet EV1. In the end, the truth is simple: Studebaker, in their hurry to begin making the Avanti, trusted the fiberglass fabrication to a company in Ohio that was completely unprepared to meet the expected demand. Production delays, however, did not really kill the Avanti.
Rights to the design were sold to two Studebaker dealerships who went into limited production of what are now known as the "Avanti II," which used the same Lark-based frame and chassis elements, but incorporated General Motors engines and drive trains meant for the Corvette. These post-Studebaker Avantis were produced in small quantities through the 1970s and into the early 1980s. A new owner of the franchise, Stephen Blake, then produced an updated 20th anniversary car for 1983 and introduced a convertible.
Blake failed to make a go of it and sold the company to an ethanol developer named Michael E. Kelly, who resumed production in 1987 and built cars until 1991 using GM platforms for the underpinnings. It wasn't profitable, however, and Kelly closed down production. He started it up again in 2001 under a new design, being built in Villa Rica, Georgia and then moving to Cancun, Mexico. Using a Pontiac Firebird as the platform and later a Ford Mustang chassis, Kelly built cars until 2007. Then the U.S. Justice Department stepped in, charging Kelly with real estate and financial fraud and seizing his assets.
Now, the Avanti name, designs and rights are once again going up for sale. Restitution efforts against Mr. Kelly include selling off these rights as well as the avid collector's entire collection of classic cars.
Purists look to the 1963-64 models as the best of breed. Others prefer the newer upgrades made by successive builders. Regardless, the Avanti remains a true classic of American auto design. It's both timeless and undeniably classic. It's checkered past and whispered mythology only enhance its longevity. Probably its most powerful feature is the fact that it's beauty is as relevant today as it was fifty years ago. Very few cars can lay claim to this kind of timelessness.
The history of the Avanti, along with select originals and restorations, can be fully appreciated at the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana through October 5th. The museum has published a book to accompany the exhibit, both titled Studebaker's Last Dance.

the Avanti was designed by Raymond Loewy.
he also designed the '53 Starlite coupe.
he ranks up there with Virgil Exner at Chrysler and
Brooks Stevens who designed the Excalibur and was
an industrial designer with many product designs that
became iconic in 40's and 50's America.
the Avanti's one interesting feature was a Paxton
be interesting to see if that's included in kit
have a nice day!

It is.

Probably the only Studebaker V-8 engine available for early rod builders.
The AMT '53 Stude also has a stock V8.
Posted 22 July 2012 - 06:09 AM
Things to know about the Avanti engine and the instructions in every release that I've seen - here's a couple pictures of the real thing:
It is:
Notice that you can't see the distributor because of the polished guard that also covers the spark plug wires. That was standard on the Avanti along with the polished valve covers, etc. The odd thing is that the guard has always been included in the kit but they've never shown you the right way to use it - now they don't even show it. The actual distributor should only be used if you don't use the guard. It's an either/or thing. Bonus: your engine is detailed without having to install spark plug wires! The finished engine should look something like this:
BTW, Round2 if you're listening, this is totally unforgivable since Round2 is home-based in South Bend, IN which is the city where the Avanti (and other Studebakers) were built. Probably half the people walking down the street could tell them that it's wrong. I'll be in South Bend at the beginning of August for the Studebaker Drivers Club International Meet when SB will be flooded with Avantis and other Studes. I'm sure anybody would love to open their hood so Round2 could take a look!
The twin Paxton option represents the engine from Due Cento which was Andy Granitelli's Bonneville record car. This what that one should look like:
Posted 22 July 2012 - 06:26 AM
I was looking at the Due Cento last night online, and 625+ horsepower was very impressive for 1963.
Lots of possibilities for this kit.
Posted 22 July 2012 - 07:46 AM
Also notice the Ford alternator, and remember that the "polished guard" on the plug wires is electro-magnetic RF (radio frequency) radiation-shielding to prevent radio interference, similar to what is on the same period Corvettes and un-necessary on a steel-bodied car.
Casey, it sure looks like you're right in thinking the hood bulge is there to clear the brake unit, but there's really no good engineering reason (or obvious one, anyway) why the unit couldn't have been located lower. Interesting question.

The hood bulge was nothing but a styling element.
True that. That's the Loewy-down.
Posted 22 July 2012 - 12:25 PM
I have to say, it looks tremendous considering this thing is such an old kit. Very little flash - in fact, it is a very cleanly molded kit. I'll get some pictures up later.
Posted 22 July 2012 - 04:07 PM
The twin supercharged engine is often referred to as the R-5 since it's rumored that a version of it was going to be put into (limited) production and it would be the next in the numbered series of R engines. Of course, it never even got close to production and only one was ever completed so it never officially became an R-5.
Was the hood bulge necessary for power brake booster clearance? The twin supercharged version was referred to as the R5, correct?
I was looking at the Due Cento last night online, and 625+ horsepower was very impressive for 1963.
Lots of possibilities for this kit.

The hood bulge was nothing but a styling element.
I like asymmetrical styling, so I had to wonder. I now see how the instrument cluster hood was part of that styling element, too:
I think this ^^^ is the Aurora version?
Posted 23 July 2012 - 08:54 AM
The only release of the Avanti I have that omits the racing parts on the instruction sheet is the Modern Classics and even it has the Slicks and Dual Paxton option. I haven't opened the plastic package to see it the parts are there. The rest all list it as 3 in 1 on their instruction sheets. Those kits are the Grand Turismo Avanti, Reggie Jackson, Prestige and Millennuim versions.
Does the Reggie Jackson/Matchbox era kit include the five-slot Halibrand wheels?
I'm not quite sure which parts were omitted after the original issue, but according to Round2's page, this reissue features:
- All Original Parts Restored
- Build Stock, Custom or Slat Flats Racer
- Retooled Optional Halibrand Factory Mag Wheels
- Four Different Wheel Options
- Steerable Front Wheels
- Opening Doors
- Expanded Original Decal Sheet
- Vintage Box Art Packaging

There's been a whole lot of existentialism within hip-hop as of late and I must say it's a welcome topic for songs. And the most recent rapper taking on self is Philly's premiere battle rapper, Cassidy. In "Who Gone Help Me" Cass can only help Cass, no one else. Check out Cassidy's "Who Gone Help Me" after the jump.
Cassidy and Murda Mook have had an illustrious career in hip-hop, primarily in the battle circuit. The two are sworn adversaries and have traded blows for years but on the Dolla Bill Kidz produced "Boyz In the Hood" we find Cass and Mook in a rare side-by-side moment. Listen to "Boyz In the Hood" after the jump.
For those unfamiliar with GOODZ he is a battle rapper who has a bit of a history with Cassidy. GOODZ battled Cassidy years ago and like all battle emcees the two went back and forth over who won. And in recent news, GOODZ and Cass had a heated exchange on stage during Summer Madness 4. Word is, from those whom attended, GOODZ challenged Cass right on the spot but Cassidy turned down the battle instantaneously. Fast forward to a few days ago with Cassidy dropping "Mr. Chicken", a track aimed at a select few battle rappers. One of those battle rappers happened to be… you guessed it… his arch nemesis GOODZ. That has prompted GOODZ to fire back with "Bird N***a". Curious to hear what GOODZ had to say about Cass? Listen after the jump.
Yep, another "Hot N***a" freestyle/remix. We're aware you are probably as sick of these as we are, especially given that Ludacris perhaps delivered the best "Hot N***a" freestyle/remix yet thus putting the nail in the proverbial coffin. We are proposing that the rap game officially retire this track. But in case you were curious what Cassidy would do with Bobby Shmurda's track he went ahead and delivered a freestyle/remix. Listen after the jump.
Make no mistake, Cassidy is a pure spitter. Thirteen years removed from his now infamous freestyle battle with fellow Philadelphian Freeway (Cassidy was 19-years-old at the time), Cass is still a renowned and feared opponent whenever it comes to battling. And that's precisely where we find Cassidy on "Mr. Chicken", a complete smack-talking track that serves as a preface for his upcoming battle against Dizaster. Again, Cass is a pure spitter be it in the ring or in the booth. Listen after the jump.
Here's a bit a curveball to your morning: Lil Kim has released a mixtape in 2014. And it's entitled Hard Core after her 1996 classic of the same name. The mixtape features guest appearances from Yo Gotti, Cassidy, Jadakiss, and French Montana. After the jump.
We reported over the weekend about the backlash Nicki Minaj incurred because of her choice of cover art for the song "Lookin A*s N*ggas" from her forthcoming album The Pink Print. After removing the cover art and offering an apology to the offended parties you would think Nicki was in the clear and the discussion would turn to whether her song was actually good or not. However, it appears that Young Money's First Lady will have no such luck. Read More

Flu vaccine 23% effectiveJanuary 16, 2015 2:04 pm | by Mike Stobbe, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | Comments
As predicted, this year's flu vaccine is doing a pretty crummy job. It's only 23% effective, primarily because it doesn't include the bug that is making most people sick, according to a government study released today. That's one of the worst performances in the last decade, since U.S. health officials started routinely tracking how well vaccines work. In the best flu seasons, the vaccines were 50 to 60% effective.
New genetic clues found in fragile X syndromeJanuary 16, 2015 1:40 pm | by Julia Evangelou Strait, Senior Medical Sciences Writer, Washington Univ., St. Louis | News | Comments
Scientists have gained new insight into fragile X syndrome by studying the case of a person without the disorder, but with two of its classic symptoms. In patients with fragile X, a key gene is completely disabled, eliminating a protein that regulates electrical signals in the brain and causing a host of behavioral, neurological and physical symptoms.
Long-acting drug effectively prevents HIV-like infection in monkeysJanuary 16, 2015 9:15 am | by Zach Veilleux, The Rockefeller Univ. | News | Comments
A regime of anti-HIV drugs has the potential to protect against infection in the first place. But real life can interfere; the effectiveness of this prophylactic approach declines if the medications aren't taken as prescribed. HIV researchers hope a new compound, known as cabotegravir, could make dosing easier for some because the drug would be administered by injection once every three months.

Do viruses make us smarter?January 12, 2015 10:36 am | by Lund Univ. | News | Comments
A new study from Lund Univ. in Sweden indicates inherited viruses that are millions of years old play an important role in building up the complex networks that characterize the human brain. Researchers have long been aware endogenous retroviruses constitute around 5% of our DNA. For many years, they were considered junk DNA of no real use, a side effect of our evolutionary journey.
Scientists find brain protein aids influenza recoveryJanuary 12, 2015 7:55 am | by Washington State Univ. | News | Comments
Washington State Univ. Spokane scientists have found a brain protein that boosts the healing power of sleep and speeds an animal's recovery from the flu. The research has determined that a brain-specific protein is uniquely involved in sleep responses triggered by the influenza virus in mice. Without the protein, animals develop more severe symptoms of infection and die at higher rates than regular or control mice.

Glenn McCrory on Nathan Cleverly, Scott Quigg and Ola Afolabi
Nathan Cleverly may not have caught everyone's attention yet, says Glenn McCrory, but he will do.
Last Updated: 05/07/13 10:10am
Frank Warren has always taken his fighters along gradually and you can't argue with the results as he did wonders for the careers of Joe Calzaghe and Prince Naseem Hamed, but Nathan needs to face someone with a huge reputation to get all the people excited.
And all the people SHOULD be getting excited about Cleverly because he has a very entertaining style, is still young and more than capable of staying at the top of the light-heavyweight division for a long time.
Talk of a clash with Bernard Hopkins has died down and Nathan will face an as-yet unnamed fighter in August, so he just has to focus on gaining more experience and making sure he keeps his WBO title around his waist.
There would be plenty of publicity if Cleverly dropped down to super-middleweight to fight Carl Froch and even being mentioned in the same breath as the Cobra would boost Nathan's profile.
The Welshman is fairly big for a light-heavyweight so I don't know how easy he would find it making the weight and, even if he did, I would have to back Carl to win because he is at the peak of his powers.
However, that should not stop Cleverly from, eventually, becoming one of the biggest names in boxing.
Scott Quigg has joined Matchroom and I think that is good business from Eddie Hearn as Quigg, like Carl Frampton, who has just left the promotion, has many qualities and is a really pleasant guy.
I said in this column before that I thought Scott reached a point where he had plateaued a little bit but his win over Rendall Munroe took him to another level; he dominated Rendall and that's something people don't tend to do.
I don't think Scott is too nice to get to the top as having spent quite a bit of time with him I have seen how singled-minded and determined he is, while he is an absolute fitness fanatic, too, and that will give him an edge - as will his nan's magnificent chips!
I really do believe that Quigg can win a world title; Gullermo Rigondeaux, who beat Nonito Donaire earlier this year, is the star of the super-bantamweight division but there is an opportunity for Scott and he will prove that he is world class.
And finally, I sat next to British cruiserweight Ola Afolabi on Ringside recently and his story about going from London's streets to fighting for world titles was fascinating; he is a smart, humble kid with no chip on his shoulder who will be at the top level for a long time.
People may not know too much about Alofabi because we haven't seen him on Sky but I can tell you that he is in a very entertaining division, one which, of course, Johnny Nelson, David Haye and myself used to box in.
It is full of guys with plenty of speed and agility, while the fighters pack punch power and produce all-action bouts - and that's not a new thing, either as some of the best fighters of all time - Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey - were cruiserweights.

Product description
In Jennifer Egan's highly acclaimed first novel, set in 1978, the political drama and familial tensions of the 1960s form a backdrop for the world of Phoebe O'Connor, age eighteen. Phoebe is obsessed with the memory and death of her sister Faith, a beautiful idealistic hippie who died in Italy in 1970. In order to find out the truth about Faith's life and death, Phoebe retraces her steps from San Francisco across Europe, a quest which yields both complex and disturbing revelations about family, love, and Faith's lost generation. This spellbinding novel introduced Egan's remarkable ability to tie suspense with deeply insightful characters and the nuances of emotion.

Yesterday I walked a good portion of our precinct with my husband, going door to door, handing out fliers giving instructions for early voting and a sample ballot.
DH is precinct captain here, but his entre' into democratic party politics has him squirming a bit. Tooooo partisan and antagonistic! So the fliers he printed and handed out and the badges we wore were only about voting early, not WHO to vote for.
Idaho is so thoroughly republican that those of us who are liberal or independent don't have our voices heard very loudly. But we do keep speaking up.
DH and I were out for about 2.5 hours. Our neighbors are an interesting mix of people we got to talk to. DH talked, I watched and listened. It was an excellent way to spend time together (and surprisingly good foreplay).

Overall Pleasant Stay with very minor HiccupPosted May 4, 2015
I enjoyed my stay at The Lodge. This hotel has good amenities and provided lots of interesting activities for the guests. It is the kind of resort hotel that you could practically just there all day long and not get too bored. My only complaint is just the lack of smile from the front desk staff when I check in. I don't think they are by any means rude or unfriendly. It's just that I expect I little more warmth and enthusiasm to make me feel at home. I think this is a fair expectation for a hotel at this caliber. The spa and swimming pool are awesome. Don't miss the wine tasting either. Wish I could join their morning hike but weather did not cooperate. Overall I think there is a good chance I would return to this hotel.

The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that teachers and educators should not be put in law enforcement roles when they carry out their duty of reporting suspected child abuse or neglect. The National Education Association (NEA) filed an amicus brief in the case, Ohio v. Clark, stating that "educators' valuable role as mandatory reporters and caregivers should not be compromised."
The Mackinac Center, known for its anti-public education, anti-union, and anti-public education employee tactics, has already begun its campaign to convince members to opt out of their MEA membership. Last year, they used full-page newspaper ads, mailings and robo calls to spread their message with little success.
Last week, the Senate and the House approved a $13.9 billion school aid budget that increases K-12 per pupil spending ranging from $70 to $140. The new budget adds a total of $210 million to the K-12 budget for next year, and it's now on its way to Gov. Snyder for approval.
Incoming State Superintendent Brian Whiston shared his draft of a strategic plan to move Michigan to the top five states for education improvement within the next five years. The State Board has a similar draft plan and various education groups are expected to be adding their recommendations at upcoming board meetings.
Six intermediate school districts (ISD) are sharing $2 million in state grants to help with their efforts to consolidate local districts and services. The funds come from the School Consolidation Grants. Districts had to apply for the money and the six were chosen from 21 applications.
The Senate passed its version of a teacher and administration evaluation bill last week. SB 103 is very different from the 2014 House bills (HB 5223 and HB 5224) which received wide support, but those bills did not make it through the Senate Education Committee last year.
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is hosting the last in a series of webinars featuring models of Personalized Learning on May 21 from 4 to 5 p.m. Nicholas Provenzono, a Grosse Pointe Public Schools teacher and MEA member, will be presenting "Creating a Genius in Every Hour."
Charter schools in urban areas don't generate better outcomes than traditional public schools, according to Andrew Maul, assistant professor at the University of California Santa Barbara. Maul reviewed the Urban Charter School Study done by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University which states "charter schools in urban environments provide a slightly greater test score advantage than those in non-urban environments."
Waterford child care workers, custodians, bus drivers, bus driver aides and maintenance employees are being threatened with privatization. You can show support for them at a rally and school board meeting on Thursday, May 7.
MEA is partnering with NEA, the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to sponsor the Teaching Leadership Initiative (TLI) program. If you're an MEA member and ready to take hold of your career and learn to lead in matters of practice and policy—if you're an MEA member eager to make a difference in your classroom, but not sure where to begin—TLI is for you.

"The card came out perfectly & was exactly the way we envisioned it. We were thrilled with the end result & we're proud to send to our family & friends."
"I received several compliments on this birth announcement. It has a sweet, soft design that is perfect for a little girl - very high quality."
"Pleased with how quickly they arrived. I had a shot with my little one where there were some scattered rose petals around her, which lined up with the sparks for a beautiful effect. My only quam is how some photos cant be zoomed out to position them differently. And would be nice for more cards to have more layout options to help with this. I had a couple shots I loved that were covered by the design in a few of the other designs I may have chosen."
"This card was absolutely beautiful! My baby was born in November and thought a birth announcement/Christmas card would be best. I chose the red with black snowflakes. The red was perfect because it was more of a pomegranate red...not a bright Christmas red. I paired the card with brown envelopes, stripped pomegranate red envelope insert, and the matching return address labels. I received a lot of compliments on everything. My only complaint would be the picture looked a little grainy. I ended up selecting the pearl white shimmer paper, and I don't know if it was due to the type of paper or poor printing, which is why I gave both 4 stars. However, I would definitely recommend this card."
"The card was a high quality paper and turned out better then we imagined. Perfect way to share the announcement of our new daughter with friends and family."

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Product description
'I'll put you in my diary!' comedian Kenneth Williams was known to threaten on occasion, although tantalisingly he kept the journal to himself during his lifetime. Here at last, in one spellbinding volume, are four million words of it. For more than forty years, from his sixteenth birthday until the eve of his unexpected death in 1988, the beloved actor and outrageous 'Carry On' star Kenneth Williams kept a candid diary. Devastatingly honest about himself, he is equally unsparing in his verdicts on his fellow man. In his descriptions of Tony Hancock, Maggie Smith, Joe Orton and countless others, his waspish sense of humour, love of anecdote and ear for dialogue are given full rein. Malicious, hilarious and harrowing, 'The Kenneth Williams Diaries' are a unique portrait of one of Britain's most popular - and most misunderstood - performers.

'Annihilatingly honest...fascinating...these diaries cast a bizarre spell. They appeal, they delight, and now and then do both at once.' Independent 'Caustically compelling.' Time Out 'Unputdownable...with the appeal of eavesdropping on the conversation of a unique personality.' Financial Times 'Hilarious anecdotes abound.' What's On
Editorial reviews
Irritated by a fellow performer or producer, Kenneth Williams would snap: 'I'll put you in my Diary'. No idle threat: very few people - even his most loyal friends - escape a whipping in these 800 or so pages of waspish (often very funny) vituperation. The diaries provide fascinating glimpses of a host of stars, including Ingrid Bergman, Richard Burton, Tony Hancock; but above all are an absorbing full-length portrait of an obsessive, sad, self-hating man.
