Hi Loshar,
Welcome to the Packard world! Your post caught my eye because I'm about 80% through my project - also a 2362-5 Deluxe Eight. My original plan was to keep in driving condition while restoring portions along the way. That plan ended on the first body repair job where one thing led to another. Before long the body was off the chassis and all but the engine block was dissembled. 3 1/2 years and $11,951 later, all's left to do is paint, chrome and interior. My daughter has it in her wedding plans in June 2015 so that' my deadline.
Anyway, your 8 looks great. Good luck restoring her, and speak-out whenever you have questions.
(here's a few stages of my journey)
