Thanks Randy - The car is generally solid but some of the wood requires repair. While there is a lot of good informattion available on the mechanical parts of restoration there is little on repairing the wood framed bodies. It would be helpful if others posted good pictures of the wood framing during restoration when the upholstery was removed. This would give an idea of what the correct frame should look liked. I understand that white ash was used for the fraiming and that the joints were overlapped and screwed together without adhesive. As you can see from the picture, someone had previously redone the wood in the roof but it must be redone properly. Did Packard ever publish the specs or diagrams of the wood frames in their cars and how the wood framing process was handled during assembly. Any information would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Rod
