a heat gun on low setting makes this stuff very conforming to what you want it to do. I heated and stretched and it was great.
I put the glove box door back on minus the clock so I can rewire that. wonder how it will work with negative ground and I wonder how many amps it pulls....reason....the voltage regulators I bought are only about 1-1.5 amps max. I doubt the clock is more then that. then again I don't think it matters to wire it cause I have a battery disconnect I use.
I think I'm lucky and I have a second Packard that the steel mill is stamped on the metal somewhere on the car. I can't really make out the mill though, maybe Wheeling Steel Mill??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeling-Pittsburgh_Steel
http://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/1227 this is on the back of one of the dash pieces.
The other two dash pieces are out, but man what a PITA! I guess there is a special tool for the headlight switch?
The chrome trim on the middle dash piece was glued in...all because they ground it off to put this oak print on....geesh.
wiring harnesses came today. Made in America, by an American company. It must be fate because they used Packard electric components and the font on the box is very Packard like.
p.s. Texas I hate you and you 1000 degree Augusts. i think i lost 20 lbs in sweat weight!!
