Just got this vehicle and am assessing what's needed, missing.
1.There's a cutout w/ screw holes on the firewall between the wiper motor and the heater, like something's missing. Same level about as voltage reg and right of the antitheft #. What goes in there?
2.What's the best way to come up with door keys? It needs an ignition switch. I don't want a bunch of keys. Can a locksmith do this or do I need special restore tech? The gas cap was locking type and I found the keys but it's not turning. I got it off, but lock may be frozen. I suspect it's cheaper to just buy a replacement but I don't find this option listed til '51 or so. Can it B original to car?
ps: I'm finding when I say Packard around here, if they aren't >55, I get a what's that or never heard of it reply...Having grown up near Warren, OH, it's all I ever heard. why do people store old cars in fields without at least spraying with oil and protect from moisture/vermin? This car would B 98% if it hadn't set out.
