Just a few pics. I had the clevis pins plated at a local chrome shop and they did nice work - only $5.00 a piece. I installed the pins and realigned the top so the two dowels line up properly. I built some new shelving in the garage at home to hold the accumulation of parts and pieces and I found the proper hose clamp (230085) for the water pump end of the hose between the pump and the trans oil cooler. I located the heater from my parts car - hadn't looked back in that dark corner for over 10 years 
I have ordered the exact Packard carpet replacement (which includes the piece that covers the seat motors) and the Caribbean trunk kit and am grateful that someone undertook these projects. Thanks to fellow Packard owners Joel Ray, John Lauter and Ole Book and some others behind the scenes. Several Packard folk have helped me on this project with answers to queries and insight to how to do things. I'm not much at the local Packard level but the Packard community at large is really great!
