little bit of a weekend update for you guys. yes,...i actually worked on the car LOL!
worked on getting the steering bits painted up so i could mount them together. there are still some small piece to put together. if anyone is looking for another alternative to the eastwood silver cad......check out the rustoleum product i bought.....looks identical, drys way faster, and cost 1/2 as much at least, plus it was at Wally World ;0) and what town doesn't have a Wally World these days. my town has one of the top 10 in the nation...crazy...
anyways, fathers day was eventful too. i loaded up the Packard to go show my grandfather. i Picked up my dad and mom and we all went out to the gravesite. we got pictures of me, my dad, my son, and what physical form there is of my grandfather.....the headstone. so 4 generations in one picture. my father wasn't expecting it and although it was sad it was a happy time too. we had not been out there since Henry V was born. i also got to bring the Packard along with me ;0) Thanks to my good Friend Jerry for the trailer! We love you dude!
then it was off to reproduce an old picture that was taken when i was Henry V's age. i think you guys have seen it. anyways, we unloaded the Packard and pushed in front of the abandoned Packard Dealership off 7th street in Fort Worth. pulled it right up to the old show room floor door. which is not functional anymore, but you tell it was there once before. we took some pics and it was awesome! just like taking delivery of a brand new Packard in 1955 ;o), just in pieces LOL! i will go get the other pieces as the dealer gets them in. HAHA!
also as you can see i added some goodies to my truck....i am blind as a bat at night on the country roads.
anyways, enjoy the photos.
