Episode #1 Will I get it running in TIME?

Welcome to Episode #1 Will I get it running in Time? Get ready for an exciting journey with this classic car restoration project! In this first episode, I'm opening the garage doors and taking a closer look at my Father's 1964 Studebaker Gran Turismo R1 GT Hawk that's been sitting in storage for years. Brace yourself for the nostalgic smells as we inspect this old beauty - you'd definitely want an air freshener if there was smell-a-vision!
Over the upcoming episodes, I'll be working tirelessly to get this vintage ride back in tip-top shape just in time for the big car show. Will I make the deadline, or will unexpected challenges arise? Stay tuned to find out the thrilling conclusion to this automotive adventure! You won't want to miss a single minute of the action.
With just 2 weeks until the Hoopeston Sweetcorn Car Show coming up, I'm under the gun to hopefully make my Father's dream ride come back from the grave and give him another memory with her.
My Father and Stepmother stripped the car down to bare metal by themselves, making memories together and won several trophies. Now that my Father is on hospice care my goal is to drive him to the car show in his car. My backup plan (Plan B) is to take my Dart and take him in it, but it won't mean the same.
Wish me luck and stay tuned, hit that subscribe button for the upcoming episodes where I start cleaning up some wiring, fuel, spark, and maybe get her fired up and looking close to what it did at his last show and make my Father proud.
Studebaker made different "R" models which are as follows:
R1-289 CID,10.5-1 compression, flat top pistons, 4barrel AFB, 260 degree cam. estimated 240hp.
R2-289 CID, 9.0-1 compression, flat top pistons, belt driven Paxton supercharger, AFB carb, Estimated 290-300hp
R3-304.5 CID, 276 or 288 degree cam, Paxton supercharger ,non-sealed AFB carb inside a cast pressure box. Estimated 335hp. There were only 9 production R3s (all 64's) made by Paxton products , a division of Studebaker (Granatelli brothers). There are probably 20 or so factory built (crate engines) and another 50 or so built up to R3 specs.
R4-304.5 CID, 12.0-1 compression, Forged-true pistons, dual 4-barrel AFB carbs, same cam selection as R3. Only one production engine in a 64 Daytona. That engine has been restored
