My Dads 1953 Packard Clipper Project is Finally started

Posted by bscycles On 2012/6/28 22:50:51

Hello all! I have never ever documented a restoration on a forum before so bear with me but here goes! I'm looking forward to all the knowledge and tips I can get but I'm also very excited to get going so here is page 1 I think you all will like the story behind it. My Dad bought this car brand new in 1953 and I have every document service record ect even every repair part and service ever done to it. Dad died in 2010 at 85 years old and at the funeral a good friend came up and hsanded me the keys to the car. We had sold the car on a farm action in 1975 and I or Dad never thought we would see her again but they brought it back with all the original papers and still titled in Dads name so its a neat story. I'll need your expertise and knowledge and look forward to learning and having fun it will be a long project but I love my garage time! I cahanged oil and battery and using a remote fuel cell she fired right up but then I started the tear down fuel system complete first and will probably be doing a complete frame off My family will never see me now I prepared with fridge bed ect I love it (the old lady might not)!
