Ready to drive away

Although I could almost have taken the engine apart and reassembled it with my eyes closed at that time, I was not allowed to do the work on either the engine and its components or on the transmission, probably because of insurance regulationss. The man who did the work, while probably a good mechanic on vehicles familiar to him, knew almost nothing about Studebakers and didn't seem to want to listen to my advice. Some of the mechanical parts have required replacing. For example, although everything was supposed to have been upgraded to withstand gasoline with alcohol added, that was not done.
