Re: Stewart's 1955 Packard 400

I have no idea how long my Packard was parked before I purchased it but I think I may have found the reason why it was parked.
Back a couple months ago we discovered that the wiring harness on the right side of the engine bay had been replaced. Someone had just spliced new wires onto the original harness.
In close inspection of the harness on the left side of the engine bay and I have found that many of the wires have melted.
There is especially heavy damage to those wires that connect to the starter. There are a couple images below.
All the harnesses have been labeled and removed except for what's under the dash.
