Your friend tows with a front wheel dolly.
Does he disconnect the drive shaft to do that?

Well Dave,
It looks like a 47 Super Clipper
from here.

See the 55/6/7 tank in the above link.

Someone on here recently lifted body from a Clipper. same person had a Chevy tank. The pic of frame after body removed showed where previous owner had notched the frame. Otherwise the tank fit just fine. I can't find the thread.

****Edit 12/01/09 NONETHELESS. Suppose the 55/6/7 Chev or Ford tank is used. Instead of cutting the frame, use an elbo welded to the short snout of the tank. Position the elbo so that it is pointing down toward the ground and weld or hose/clamp it in place.
Use another elbo welded or hosed and clamped to the open end of the first elbo. Weld or hose and clamp a Packard tank filler tube to the open end of the last elbo just installed.

The above description should get the routing of the filler tube circuit UNDER the frame. Same process could be used for the FORD tank. Will most likely require cutting the existing F or Chev tanks filler snout off closer to the tank before adding elbos.

OR to describe it another way:
THe elbos will resemble a kitchen sink drain trap. WHERE the tank is the sink, the 2wo elbos are the trap and the frame rail of the car passes thru the valley of the trap.

Will probably make filling gas tank a bit slow like filling a MoPar tank.

The vent is next if anyone considers this feasible.

Mal, looking forward to seeing the tool catalog. It should be a nice companion to the KM Post War tool catalog.

I was suprised too. The little he showed me of the data has Auburn, Cord, Rocknye, Oakland, and more back into the late 20s. I'm assuming its a standard locksmith product available to any of them that wish to purchase it.

I not very good with computers and think I have added my cars information to my signature but unsure as to how to name it "Packard Registry" and not the entire URL link if that is correct computer lingo.

Hi LINC400

Thanks for your input, for a look at my art, they're in the Pre-War 1899-42 section, under "My Design Concept for ... posted by 58L8134.

I stand corrected. Forgot about a bill of sale so figured some records from Grand Ave would be all there was. The computer database is the surprising one -- Never knew such existed particularly for two out of business companies or at least that part of the one remaining..

if you mean the original codes with tumbler sequences, no idea and doubt there are any records to be found.

If you have the original key number, good locksmiths have the codes in a computer database and can cut you a new key without having the old one, I just had a new key cut for my 56 and I did was give the locksmith the original key #. Key numbers were usually listed on the original Bill of Sale if you're fortunate enough to have that document.
