Found my 2A fuses at both Murray's and NAPA.

For a little more ground clearance with the Torsion Level, I seem to recall reading somewhere that Packard recommended that you engage the T/L and get the Levelizer to raise the car as high as it can, and then turn off the T/L.

At least it didn't go to a private collector to be locked away from public view. Now all I have to do is get over there in the next few days to get my picture taken with my Clipper in front of that door!

The valve covers are silver, I think that the flash makes make them look like primer. I think that I'll probably get the lettering done over the winter as its taken so long to get to this point that I would really rather take her out and have some fun for a while.

Well here it is. Semi-finished. Just need to get the valve cover lettering done and it's finished.

We found a tiny bit of the original green on the trans housing. The color that the engine is now painted is pretty darned close. I'll take some pics in the morning and get them posted. The only change that I made was to have the exhaust manifolds powder coated black instead of being painted the same green.

The main reason that I switched is so that I can show the car in a certain venue, namely The Henry Ford. Their annual Motor Muster is held over Father's Day weekend and is open to cars from 1932 to 1976. The only restrictions they have are that cars can only have items that were available the year of manufacture, ie no alternators, disc brakes, etc.

Hey BH, you had a reference to a paint number back in an old post that we tried. Unfortunately that color has been discontinued, but the paint store was able to find a paint chip and and came close to matching it. I'll post some pics of the engine next weekend after the car finally comes home.

Thanks guys, sorry for not being clear. That's what happens when you spend 5 extra hours at work cleaning mud out of the building. The Clipper is a 56, so I guess the regulator will go on the radiator support.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. The alternator has been replaced with a new generator. I just need to know where to mount the regulator.
