Dave (32Model901) installed a gear vendor's unit in his '32 901. You can see his
post here to see what that might entail.
I wish you father the best on his "Kit Car" as that is how I bought my '32 sedan. The owner had started on the restoration of the car that the family had had since the early 1950's. They let is decay when he started on it. He was doing a frame off and had started putting things back together. Everything was scattered in a big shop with other car parts and mixed up with no sense of keeping related things together. I boxed everything up, trying to make sure I grabbed everything that looked like it belonged (I did end up with some old Ford parts that I later returned).
When I moved it the body was somewhat bolted to the frame. We filled the inside of the car with stuff and towed it home on a trailer with a pickup whose bed was completely full. In addition, there was another pickup with a full bed of stuff. It has be fun and I'll admit that it has also been a challenge as I have never worked on a car this old or a Packard in the past. I'm not sure what I would have done without all of the fantastic help I've received from the site.
Right now I'm almost done with the last major piece to complete is the interior. Who knows, I may be able to put the old seats in it and take it for a drive this year when I get the mechanical/electrical stuff finished.
