It's taken awhile to get the pictures of the progress on the Limo, but they are here. First picture shows the he frame that was modified to hold the 454, and the second shows it back to original. The red parts where on the parts frame from a 1092 I purchased in Memphis TN. They will be painted black soon.

The third and fourth pictures show the rearend that was removed. I was told by the previous owner it came from a Cadillac. The only thing I liked about it, was you could still use the original wheels with it. Also it was modified with the plates shown to use the original springs. I will be bringing it back to Alabama first week of October to get rid of it. Will take a bunch of parts to Kansas to replace some that were too modified to use in the restoration. ex. front bumper arms, front inner fenders, 6 volt battery to replace the 12 volt and few other things. I will also be taking the new wiring harness so the mechanic can put the rebuilt engine in. I will take the stock tranny back minus the shifter top plate and shifter that will be installed on the R11 I am having put in it.

The fifth and sith picture shows the trunk floor that needs to be replaced. I am taking the floor from a 1092 car I got in Oklahoma I decided to part out. (The front doors are way up North for Ken Packard's 1082 Sedan project) The seventh picture shows the floor I am going to use on the Limo.
