Gerd & Mel,
In the last 13 years I haven't had a lot of private time for myself and my wife and for our new start here in Germany because I first had to build our new home. The complete modernization and partial reconstruction of a 174m² apartment took 4 years alone. And I did a significant part of it myself. There was little time for my passion for working on classic cars. And it took a lot of time before I could think about restorations again for health reasons (three hospital stays).
Seven years ago I bought the 1924 Packard and then began restoring it a few years ago. My wife didn't really like it because she had had to share this passion with me for many years. I'm very happy that she still has a lot of understanding and interest in these things and that she lets me have my way.
I don't actually have the time to show the restoration of the 1924 Sport in a blog here. Anyone who has presented a blog here knows how much time it takes. I wanted to present the car at a Concours de Elegance here in Germany for its 100th birthday. But I probably won't be able to do that. Too much detailed work still needs to be done. But since it's winter time now, I can only work in my heated upholstery room at the moment. This gives me a little more time and I will try to start the blog and at least present something from time to time. I won't be able to show a complete progression of the work because at the beginning... as I said... I didn't think about recording the work and the progress completely and chronologically in the picture.
