Proposal: How about we collectively go through as much of the V-8 cars, starting with the engine compartment, state what we think the finishes or materials should be and have it as a page in the info section. There are enough of us with cars that have not been excessively altered, and others that have done restorations that are considered authentic that we seem to have the combined knowledge.
I have been sawing at this for a while, see this thread:
http://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=470 I think Packardinfo.com may be a good place to start this ad-hoc guide, which avoids the costs of printing, and makes corrections and updates very manageable. Ideally I would like to see the sort of thing the Lincoln Club does for the Continental models--taking the parts book exploded diagrams and adding the types of finishes to each part. I could do some of that even with my rudimentary computer knowledge.
what you guys think?
