I'm not sure how much Packard work I'm going to get done this time but the good thing is that the third quarter of the insulation has been done and the last quarter will be done in a week and a half! Even without it all being done, it has made a major difference in the it was nice and comfortable inside so I had no idea that it was 35 out until I went to leave this evening! Tomorrow morning the last new and better insulated door (with upper windows) is also being installed when the ones here before were cheap and paper-thin.
So the first order of business when I get all the preparation done for the last insulation is to remove the power antenna as it is apparently stuck partially up and is too tall for the car lift above. I took the nut off already but have to go underneath to remove the bottom bolt that attaches it to the lower edge of the fender. I hope there is room to get it out since I can't lift up the car more than it is but if not, perhaps I can check the motor from below and get it working enough to lower it. I found an NOS antenna in my stock (center in the photo) but may or may not need it. I am not sure what the other two are but likely the one on the left is not Packard.
