Thank you very much Gents! I know what will be occupying my time this afternoon - it's a bit unsettling to take the Packard out for my first trips around the block and fight against the accelerator

Am I the only unlucky one with a sticky gas pedal?

Howard that sounds like an interesting product!

Paul, duragloss is one of the most underrated and below the radar car car lines. I have been using their products for about a decade. Nice to "meet" another fan!

At the beginning in my accelerator pedal stroke there is something causing the pedal to stick.

Does anyone know how to address this?

Thanks!

Thanks Paul, I enjoyed installing the trunk seal.

To protect the housing for the light I applied a Marine Sealant called DuraGloss 501. It is advertised as a polish but that's a bit misleading. In my past life I was in touch with the Duragloss chemist and learned much about their products

This weekend I bled the brakes after a long front disk brake conversion. Pedal feels nice and solid although a bit higher than I would desired is not extreme and I will dial it in later. I mounted the master on the firewall through the fresh air duct.

I ended up using a 1979 Chevy Malibu pedal, a custom adapter installed plate for the MC on the firewall with a retention cup for the pushrod and an adjustable push rod. GM rotors, caliper and MC and installed all new brake lines with a residual pressure valve for the rear drums

I also found what I think is a oem trunk lid on eBay for $45! It was not dried out, is in perfect condition and fits like a glove! After removing the old seal
I hit it with a wire wheel, wiper it down with prep sol, primed it with self etching primer and then installed the seal

I also put some elbow grease is shining up some bits and pieces, an example is the courtesy lights in the pics

In addition to lots of twisting and patience Make sure the star wheel is as short as it will go

thanks Gents, that made all the difference!

Anyone?'

I can't seem to figure out how to remove the manual brake pedal assembly on my 200. If anyone can provide a little guidance I'd really appreciate it .

I've attached some photos as reference.

Thanks in advance!
