Re: HA's 52 200 Grey Ghost

Took a road trip down to SW Minnesota to visit Smith and his collection of Packards and parts. Picked up some shinier parts with better chrome to brighten up the front of the Ghost, plus we picked through the cars by the shelterbelt and I scored some nice window and door handles, headlight trim rings, and a couple hubcaps. Other than my hubcaps, all my parts are in good shape physically - just everything needs rechroming. Not in the budget right now, so these parts are a good step for now. Not perfect but so much nicer.
Managed to not spend too much (Scott made fun of me when I pulled into the yard ("you forgot your trailer!") which was a minor victory of restraint - he has so much stuff. And I got to see some really nice cars along with his next project. And of course that '53 Caribbean project that I need to win the lottery before I could afford it. I just love how those look!
