yeah, i am still here, pretty sore, but still here. i have been helping around the house and spending time with the family. i guess we all need a break from time to time. i have stopped by a couple of times, but haven't posted till now.
i haven't gotten the motor out to take pics either, but i will.
money is very tight right now with med bills, etc....so i wouldn't expect any progress to be happening on my Packard for some time now. plus my wife is starting school to be an RN soon, so that is also important to pay for. that is just the way it goes. probably just be piddling in the garage for now. oh well...;0)
the surgery went fine, very sick afterwards, but i am cool now, got a nice man peck now with this ICD poking my chest out LOL!
this car is a very early 55, 3/1/55 frame date. so i am not surprised that i have had to go to the 54 parts diagrams from time to time to get some things done. i have a couple of frame pics from another car that shows you what it should look like with the holes factory cut and i am very sure mine never looked like that based on parts of metal that are left behind on mine. i am pretty sure mine never had the holes there from the factory. which is another reason i am glad they are there, although the quality sucks, but i plan to use them for duals so it is okay.
i will be in the garage sometime soon, cleaning the pistons and taking pictures, but i have had to take it easy lately, but i am slowly getting back around now
later dude,
Hank
