G'day Addtx63,
to PackardInfo! Concerning your questions, 1) For the exhaust manifold it depends on where and how badly it is cracked. Cast iron can be welded but it requires a specialist with the right equipment, as well as the knowledge and experience to be able to make an effective repair. 2) Regarding locking door handles, maybe from a Packard vendor or eBay? I'm sure others with a better handle, pun intended, on these matters will be better able to advise.
And, if you do purchase the '26/28? 526 Touring, I invite you to include it here on PackardInfo in the Packard Owners Registry.
EDIT - Joining your local Packard Club will put you in contact with the other Packard owners in your neck of the woods and through them you might be able to source the parts you need. To find the Packard Club/s in your area, look in PackardInfo's Packard Directory.
