Today I got the front seat of the parts car nearly out other than the front/back actuator roll pin. I moved it a little but don't really have any good drift pins so will try again tomorrow. Broke off only one of the seat hold-down bolts and rounded the head of another but all in all they weren't too bad to remove and I am so pleased that Packard was thoughtful enough to supply some nice handles for making it easy to get my old body back up from the floor!
I completed my apprenticeship at a place called Ball, Screws & Actuators so the types of ball-screws used on the power seat will be no problem to repair as needed. Looking at them in the car, though, it appears that the front/back ball nut is in upside down making any servicing in-place impossible but perhaps it needs to be that way for clearance. Didn't think of that until I had closed up for the night and walked the block back where I'm staying.
While getting ready to leave, I noticed a dent that I had forgotten about, which happened ten years ago while moving where it was hit with the corner of one of the box trucks that I had rented. On this tight of a bend, it won't be easy to fix either.
I also put up two up 11,200 lumen LED light fixtures in the shop, one over each workbench, so now those areas at least are like daylight. Also had someone come out to give a quote on insulation but at $13k, it won't happen any time soon and tomorrow another place is coming out to give me ideas about heating!
