Paul,

Looks great!!!! I'm glad you got her home!

I've had mine out for about 4 test drives, locks up somewhere around 40mph with a little kick. Goes right into reverse and low/high with no delay, i've been pleased so far. Would still like someone with experience in these cars to test drive it when the packard show in warren gets here just to let me know if anything seems off, since i've never driven a healthy ultramatic. I'm pleased with Dave's work though, no leaks and everything seems correct. If anything is slightly off, it'd probably be with the work that i did.

Waiting on the glass guy now and hopefully getting new wide white wall radials to finish the whole project up and then will post some pics.


I'm excited you got yours back and she drove well for you! What a sigh of relief when you get her back home and all seems well
