Steve was kind enough to pass along a couple more shots of his Studebaker restoration project.  I'm really looking forward to seeing this fine car on the road.  Thanks Steve!

"My 1915 Studebaker restoration is progressing slowly but surely. The original dry cell box had been removed from the car. Luckily, I found most of the pieces and was able to reconstruct it and copy it. It's located directly under the driver's seat. (it seemed a shame to paint it black but all the wood in the car has been spar varnished and coated with a flat black as original).


I've spent some long hours retrofitting the main switch box with modern switches as well as reproducing the buttons and locking mechanism in stainless (most of which is hidden by the cover plate.) With the new switches, the box will now extend about an inch further into the area under the front seat but there's plenty of room there. This switch box controls everything electrical and the access panel is located on the seat riser about where your heels would be. (not too handy!) There are no controls on the dash. You can see the rectangular hole for it in the front seat photo. I'm just finishing up the new cover plate.

The aluminum steering wheel spider and original wood turned out pretty well."
