Thank you sir!

Yes, saw that in another post somewhere. Dimensions were given for hardtop applications I remember . Still looking for that post. But will definitely check these measurements.
A purist.........no.........but will do my best to car as original as possible.
Thanks for the tips on checking the sending unit and on the grounding

Thank you all for your replies and interest in my project!
A silver Matt it will be.
Think I will try to clean up the sending units first, I do have 2 that look in 1/2 decent shape.will post some photos when I get them back. The radiator shop wanted them left in for pressure testing.
Thanks DBeD for the tip on the mustang shop. If mine don't work I will reach out to them.

So decided to get the gas tank properly cleaned and tested. Should be ready in the next couple of weeks.

Question. They asked what color I wanted the tank painted after primer......................I honestly don't know. Didn't look like it was painted originally. Been searching the forums and the web to no avail.

Should I just paint it black? Or a silver to kinda match the original state?

All this in preparation to starting it for the first time in 40+years. Have blown the fuel line out with compressed air. A rebuild kit for the fuel pump has been delivered, will work on that soon. Although Dad did have an Electric fuel pump under the hood, maybe just use that for the initial start up?

Another question
Can the fuel sender be cleaned up and tested? I did read somewhere about ohm readings for them. I have 2, other then fuel varnish on them they look? .....fine? It seems a $70 replacement in the US is $230+ here in Canada. And Napaonline won't ship to Canada........go figure.

Still airing the car out, might get in the garage for the winter yet 🙄


I stand corrected, maybe amazon.ca is an option

when I was perusing the Packard literature and manuals I saw some of these charts. 1950-55-56

I have them from 1946-56, is there any value for you all to include the missing ones. Or are they already there and I just couldn't find them?

It does help, wasn't sure what to look for before. I spent a few hours today going thru the book. Think I have most of them identified now

Thank you!

Question
Is there not a body illustrated part plate for the 1956 Executive 5677A? was hoping to find something to narrow down the search for the body moldings.. I see stuff identified in the actual Master parts list, but being unfamiliar with some of the terminology(what I would call locations), I'm a bit lost................

Thank you Kevin & Howard. My car has the power brakes so I won't need the access hole, will make a plate and seal it once the floor is stripped and ready to be coated. Thanks for the suggestions of the body bolts being problem ares, will look at that too. Maybe put some new rubber in while I am at it
