If I were younger and still playing with my Packards very much I would be salivating over all that empty (for now) space.
From what I see of your indicator light color filters they look very faded. If you have not completely finished your gauges and have a hobby shop around you can get new celluloid colors if you want to restore the indicator lights.
These sheets are clear so the filaments will show thru unless you back them with something a little more translucent like the white PVC. Orange works for the turn signal if there is some kind of diffuser behind it but if you can find a light tan or amber, that would be closer to the factory look. The .012 white I bought for a diffuser is a bit too thick so if you can find something about half that thickness or maybe a different material to diffuse the bulb it would be better.
