Thanks everyone for the great advice, I will definitely use the Weldwood adhesive. I'm still not clear on what to use to fill in the areas between the ridges on the running boards? I had purchased the mats a few years ago from Steele and they are flat bottomed. A vendor in Hershey told me to use bondo for a flat surface but I question this? I now understand there is another vendor selling replacement mats that are not flat bottomed but I have to stick with what I purchased already since they are quite pricey.
Thanks

Let me clarify, on my 1937 "120" the grill shell to hood welting used the split rivets, the body cowl to hood used a short spiral nail which are available from Merrit

They are split rivets, not pop rivets. they have a 5-16 head on them, I'm not sure on the exact length, they are available on e-bay, search on "split rivets" use the nickel plated.

Would anyone have any suggestions or helpful tips before I start installing new running board rubber matting purchased from Steele Rubber on a 1937 "120"? The replacement mats are flat bottomed so I was told by a person I met in Hershey to sandblast the running boards, apply bondo over the boards to make them flat, then apply formica glue to attach to the running boards. Before I start I would appreciate any suggestions if anyone has done this before.
Thanks

I'm currently restoring my 37 120 gas tank and sending unit. The sending unit cork floats are in semi-decent condition but I would like to replace with an upgraded float, does anyone have more information on a replacement float? Thanks, Dave

Thanks, just had my engine rebuilt and wanted to confirm gray was correct, I've seen many photos that people painted the engines green and wanted to paint mine the original color.

Was the original color of a 1948 standard eight station sedan engine gray ?

Okay, body # 2479

Hello, I have an original 1948 Packard Woodie Wagon with the original standard 8 288, 130HP engine which needs to be rebuilt.I have it removed from the car and will soon send it out for a rebuild. However I have the opportunity to purchase a 1948 Packard rebuilt Super eight 327, 145 HP but I'm wondering if any type of modifications need to be done which I don't want to get into? So my question is will this bigger engine fit without altering motor mounts , linkages, etc. I would just want to drop it in without any hazzles. Would I need a higher amp starter or anything else?
Thanks
Dave
