Yeah, Dulinski!
He has taken so many 55 & 56s apart, he can tell stories for hours about the inconsistencies in models, parts over those last Packard Motor years.

Keegan - Your Clipper is one of the last, mine is one of the first. I don't know if mine will make it to Twin Cites, either. It is a 600 mile plus weekend for me. I have distributor problems to be worked on before I can even attempt the trip. I have parts to order from Max Merrit on Monday and a mechanic lined up to work on it after I get parts.

The videos also show a lot of metal work to make replacement panels. I couldn't believe what the brothers (Ray and Fred Veegedes) with a torch and hammer, heating, shrinking and bending new metal panel pieces.

Their website says: "Fred and Ray Vagedes have over 20 years of professional restoration experience. As the former owners of "The Antique Auto Shop" in Elsmere, Kentucky, they have restored too many collector cars to count, many of which became national first place trophy winners."

You know the rest. Welcome aboard.
