I'll be taking off 2.5 weeks for Christmas and I'll be a busy beaver I hope.
Wish me luck on putting in that rear window (BigKev's blog will help) and I plan on making a firewall pad out of something from Lowe's/Homedepot I'm sure.
recently my Dart wouldn't stay running and it acted like it was missing really bad. tried everything....coil, resistor, carb cleaning, etc.....came down to it and it was the condenser....small little bastard part that can leave you on the side of the road. just mentioning this because some of you run points in the Packard still and not many think about a condenser hosing everything. took me 2 days to think about it.
just a pic of the $50000000 rubber I bought from Steele....i'll be sending in my pieces for R&D this weekend. I'm sure they can figure out how to make new ones and it will benefit us all in the 54/55 crowd. the one that kills me is the 30 dollar hand brake grommet....mine is decent but cracking. surprised they make a repo of this part. its so small....and 30 bucks....good grief.
