The temperatures are still in the 20's and they are predicting several inches of snow tonight (Valentine's Day 2010). I'm getting pumped to get back into the garage and start getting the water pump off of the Packard, and sending it to New York to be rebuilt. I considered just buying one off of Kanter, but I still have to pull the original one and mail it in or pay 150 core charge.

Then it's time to take the right fender off again and get the intake/exhaust manifold to play well together. There's a leak between the two and I plan on putting a high temp gasket there where the two meet under the carb.

Hope all is well with the people who frequent this forum, it's been a long winter and I'm excited to get back into "Packard Rebuilding" mode.
