This is a quick addition to the previous note. So far, a few people both here and especially Dave on packardclub.org have volunteered their time and knowledge to help me put together the engine that is in pieces if I can get it. In addition, my neighbor, who has won 7 Golds so far for his restored T-Bird, has volunteered his time and knowledge both in working on the the body work and on the engine. This outpouring of support and concern for maintaining the integrity of the original car has been very touching to me and forces me to "go the extra mile" with my meager resources to attempt to maintain the integrity of this classic.

I may never show it but I will try to keep it original so that the next person (after all I am 61 and there will be a caretaker after me of this fine classic) may want a show car. I will endeavor to put the car back to rights. I may have to leave the interior less than perfect and the exterior unpainted for that next person but I'll try to leave the car complete.

On another note, for those of you that know me and some of the issues I've had during the last couple of years, the doctor has reduced the medication I'm on by 33% and my mind is clearing up more and my memory (and confidence) is improving. I can think a lot better!

I want to thank all of you for your comments and will welcome continuing comments.
