Dave,

Wow, that's quite a fleet! Some interesting stories there too. All we need now are the pictures.
for your quick response.

Jim,

Kev and I were in the Chatroom when David told us of the idea and Kev's agreed to take up and implement a very good suggestion. I'll still welcome new members as I think a friendly greeting never goes astray.

G'day Bill(needy36),
See you're a fairly recent member of Packardinfo. Know it's but could you please include your '36 1401 convertible coupe in the Owner's Registry together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it?

Love that axle puller Kev. Now that's a tool!

Some more about Santa's down-under trip earlier this week. This from our daughter Margaret's blog.

Hank,

Been there and still doing it!

Kev,

There must be quite a stash of nuts, bolts and washers somewhere in the workshop from my slips!

JD,

I believe that "budgetary constraints" certainly are a consideration for most of us here. But in the end your Packard's back to running well, so congratulations. And as you've already experienced you wont be alone when you tackle the '41, with the resources of Packardinfo at your disposal.

Dave,

Like I said, good to have you on board. As to my project, the '41 Coupe, it's close to being finished and all going well should be on the road by Christmas. You can read all about it in my Project Blog, here on Packardinfo, see link below.

G'day Dave,

to Packardinfo, I'm pleased to have you aboard. I remember your kind offer of help/advice to me on the AACA Forum and our email correspondence some while back and glad that you've found your way here.

And now that you are here, could you include your Packards in the Owner Registry together with pic's, any known history and how you acquired them please?

All the best from down-under.

Thursday 11th December 2008

On arrival at the workshop found Wade had been working on the front fender lights. Putting in new contacts and wires also cleaned them up and dug out the new fender to housing gaskets I'd bought. Not MBM's, because these are visible and probably beyond my abilities anyway. Wade finished off the lights while I cleaned up the hardware for the diff bump stop rubbers and gave them a quick coat of POR-15.

While Wade went about replacing all the connectors between the O/D wiring harness and the main harness I was instructed to finish the inner fender panels. This will then enable the front fenders to be re-fitted and the front end wiring completed. As I hadn't put any lock washers on the screws and nuts holding the new MBM rubber skirts to the inner fender panels, that was my first task. Except I then had to take off the right side one again because the rear part of the skirt has two metal bars inside the panels which clamps the rubber to it and I'd missed doing that initially. The left side, after the lock washers were added and tightened up, had a further trial fitting and trimming of the rubber skirt to clear the Optima battery parked on top of the chassis. Then came fitting of the right side front fender, While Wade held it in place I inserted and did up two bolts only, enough to hold the fender steady together with it resting on the front fender bracket, and then Wade could relax, phew! But just as well there's no wind in the workshop or it'd start flapping around like a bird gone berserk.
