So I got two free rims off a member of H.A.M.B. I needed two rims becasue I purchased the car with 2 rims. I was using some buick rims just for thrle tow but they were not the right measurement. Plus my Buick needed its rims back to get it towed out of my Mom's backyard. The cool thing is that these wheels I got are really attractive, plus the tires where good. I went to the used tire shop and bought some tires for my original Packard wheels and funny thing was tne tire man said the tire was real big like for a big work truck hahahahha. About 3 weekends little by little I finally broke the rear wheels loose. What did it was taking the emergency brake line off the back of the drum. What a relief, a small victory but a sweet one for me.

Baking soda on the floors. Mix viniger and water, more viniger in a spray bottle. Spray the floors, watch it bubble. Let sit in the sun with the doors open. In a couple days the viniger smell will evaporate, vacume up the soda.

I'm doing this now on a o/t car after I shampooed it & a wet rag smell appeared because I did not take all the water out the carpet. This method is killing the mold or bacteria that made the wet rag smell

.... But not the engine parts, looks like some one was picking off this car for thiers. I'm very tight with money because I'm in the middle of purchasing my 1st home but I have sorced another engine but can't buy it. Well anyhow, I'm in no rush nor in despair I'm just happy to have the 55 in my possession and will be looking at the parts diagram to see what all I'm lacking..
Thanks for replying Ross and I'll be doing what you said on the engine, I like to use marvel mystery oil and you recommended pb blaster. Do you have any objection to MM oil or is it the same thing in your book?
Thanks
Ronnie

Thanks Ross when i get down to my mother's house I will try what you said, just curious about the violence" you mentioned and the tool also. Is this tool a Packard only tool or will a universal brake adjusting tool for drums work. I don't have brake tools, I have a collection of general tools plus engine specific tools.

So the 'violence". What type of force, where and how are rusted drums broken loose. Please let me know because this will be a first for me. I got the elbow grease for it but not the know how.


As far as my engine I know I'm missing quite alot. I have most of the stuff that goes on the fire wall in my trunk...
