And you thought torsional rigidity problems on a straight 8 crankshaft were a concern. How long would that thing be???

As a firm believer (private ranter) in driving a car that was built to be driven I support you in your endeavor. As a child I grew up on great journeys in antique cars. Some of the best memories I have are from some of the "Adventures" (read break downs) we had in a restored car. Even if you encounter problems people are more willing to help a stranded antique than a modern. There was a article written By Peter Egan about driving a Model "A" Ford I believe across country. He had several break downs but found lots of support even parts along his journey. You all cannot tell me you haven't sat in your car and had some say " I had one just like this only..." that is the great thing about antique cars they draw memories and people or vise versa. I say go for it you'll never forget your adventure good or bad.

Just keep positive you'll laugh later guaranteed.

Thanks for the information.

Now could you clarify the terminology? Junior? Senior?


Also unfortunately I do Not have a Packard to register...

This may be a silly question but... When did Packard stop using wood framing in there bodies? Excluding the station wagon.
