Greetings Fellow Packardites!

I'm happy that so many of us have great advice for my young Grasshopper Corey!
I am in full agreement with Flackmaster about the costs of restoring a beloved Packard. However, please bear in mind that Corey is still in high school and sums of money like the $13,500 for the nice 110 in the Cormorant are not in his realm of possibility.
I applaud all of our efforts in assisting Corey in bringing his 110 back from the grave. I too agree that you should take up Flackmaster on his transmission offer Corey, especially since he is located not far from you in Utica!
I remember myself back in high school climbing down ravines to harvest useable parts from dumped VWs to keep my first car, a '66 Bug operating. Getting a well paying job at that age was not an easy thing to do!
Glad to see that you've started a blog on your project Corey! Told you that everyone is more than willing to assist and answer your questions.
