Re: Door removal on 1949 Packard.

Howard,

Thank you for your concise and informative reply to my query.

I will follow your advice and remove the hinges from the fender side so as to keep the alignment correct.

The fenders need some mild restoration as well.

This wonderful Packard spent 30 years in dry storage before I purchased it, but the tin worm has done some damage to it.

I will probably have more questions for the forum as I continue. My problem now is the neighbors and others who gather whenever I open the garage door. I am happy to educate them as to the greatness of the Packard legend, but my teeth do politely go on edge when someone ask if it is a cadillac!!!

Thank you again and best wishes for a happy holiday and a better new year.
