One note - on the floor board fasteners, floorboard washers from a Model A are VERY close to the original Packard washer. I had about half of the correct hardware and half not correct. I couldn't find the right machine screws, so I went with 1/4-20 instead of 1/4-28. Three of the speed nuts were missing, so I replaced those, and I rethreaded the 1/4-28 speed nut that was in the worst condition to 1/4-20, since I had one less OEM screw than OEM speed nut.

Whoever worked on this car in the past apparently just put on whatever bolts were at hand. Weird hardware on the accelerator pedal, nyloc nuts instead of castellated nuts, square nuts on the hood hold down screws, etc.
