Wow! This thread is full of people doing fun things with their Packards. It's always nice to hear stories about people doing fun things with their Packards. Hope to see more if this kind of discussion.

Well last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting one of our forum members who is doing some modifying to his '50 and made the engine / trans available locally. I picked up the package and while eating lunch got a call from an individual who really wanted the engine. Upon delivering the engine I discovered this person was a member of a tiny, but local PAC region. We were invited to join the region and I thought "you can never have to many Packard friends" so we did. Thanks to a call from Flackmaster Friday, I had great fun and met friends from Packard Info and new Packard friends.

Since last weekend was full of so much great Packard fun, I think this weekend I will resume cleaning and prepping the '40 for engine reassembly. Of course I am now chomping at the bit to prepare the newly acquired OD package for installation in the '40. this will be the same operation (and OD package) I did in the '39 some years back.

With any luck, I will have more to post about progress on the '40 after the long weekend.
