Drove back to Munich for the weekend and got to work on the packard....Installed the rear bumper, wipers, dash, drivers door and two front fenders...front fenders are just bolted on with 3 bolts untill I can get somebody to help me with the panel gaps. Plan is to get the doors right, and then fenders and hood.
I painted the inside of the dash white as Ross suggested a while back. Makes routing the wire harness more enjoyable. I'm still looking for a new garage closer to home so I can move my project to stuttgart where I now live.
Oh, I read that the euro packard meet in 2017 will be in germany! I think I will be ready for that! I better start saving for the event. I expect the meet to cost a pretty penny.
-I just had to put the backseat in for show, and to free up some garage space.
-Any suggestions on installing the headliner before the windshield and rear glass? I guess it is easier to do a nice install on the headliner with no glass there.
Enjoy the pics!
