Kev, Had a look at about the first 75 of the Unidentified Warren pictures and have put a comment on those I can identify. In my case these skills are limited. So anyone with a bit of free time and good Packard recognition skills will be most welcome to have a go. Also looked at the general unidentified pics and came up with some there too.

St Patrick's day dawned fine and clear So how are we to celebrate this No, not with leprechauns and green beer But under a Packard to scrape and curse My apologies to the Irish and all But with a Packard that's the catch Under the '41, but not having a ball A necessary evil to get back to scratch The end of this saga I hope is in sight If it were otherwise, I'd loose my mind But for love of Packard I know it's right Like the pot of gold at rainbow's end I work and work with little respite Save for the sleep I savour at nights But all's for a purpose, to be my kismet So do I sleep and dream of Packard delights I'll be sure to thank all who have laboured Whether t'was by hand, heart or mind I can be sure they will be favoured Better friends could no man find And so this doggerel comes to a close Shakespeare, Keats, Wordsworth, et al don't fear My verse is more a wandering prose A publisher's desk it will never be near I leave you with a final flutter For Packards are our pride and passion Remember the words that we do utter These being "Ask the man who owns one" My apologies, the ego is ever growing but obviously the talents are not in sync.

Kev,
Thanks for that, now we will be able to demonstrate our support. And keep us posted on when the magazine will come out, although here in Oz there will be a lag from your news stand date.

Saturday 15th March 2008
On the way to the workshop saw a nice shiny black '39 Ford with wedding ribbons, see pic. Then spent half a day on my favourite pastime, scraping under and around a '41 Packard frame. This time the front cross member, frame horns and underside of the front splash tray. Although most of the cross member had been done when I was tackling the front frame rails it's surprising what I'd missed previously and makes me start to worry about the other areas I've tackled. But I must say I think my scraping technique has improved over the past month because I've certainly had plenty of practice. Also had a call yesterday from Paul at Vintage Wiring Harness to say the harness was ready. So after paying the AU$990.00, approx US$925.00, the new harness should be here early next week. I've also ordered a new gasket for the cowl vent from MaxM because with the dash out now's the best time to replace it Attach file: (45.31 KB) (33.05 KB)

Eric,
Below is the question I sent about the valve covers in eBay. Bet it doesn't get published! "If you find someone who's willing to part with $1200.00 for a pair of valve covers please forward their details as I have a bridge to sell! You've got to be joking!"

Thursday 13th March 2008
Very slow 1/2 day only, as my grand-daughter is coming to visit this afternoon. After purchasing tickets for Game 5 of 5 the Australian National Basketball League championship series to be played tomorrow night proceeded to the workshop. Because I was late and finishing early didn't want to get too dirty so just tidied up and put away yesterdays painted parts. Then noticed that the dashboard, although painted a dark brown, had been woodgrained originally. Wade said that Harvey does this sort of thing so I'll give him a ring to try and tee this up and commenced to take off the plastic where feasible. While doing this Wade was trying to re-install his freshly painted fuel tank but was experiencing some difficulty. So I ended up with Wade under the back of his '37 120 with 2 big floor jacks trying to manoeuver it into place but without success. Finally left Wade to it and he's going to compare and measure up the old and new tanks to see if there are any differences between the two. Attach file: (31.03 KB)

Tom, I'm brushing on the POR-15 for 2 reasons, I don't know how to spray and if the surface preparation is good the results are almost spray quality. This is evidenced by Wade's 120 fuel tank which, being new, looks fabulous in the flesh! Don't know if we'll get the '41 together in the time frame you suggest, but the sooner the better. It'll all depend on whether we have any dramas on the re-assembly plus the NORS king pin set will take a few weeks to deliver but we'll work around that. Thanks for your vote of confidence.
