Thanks Mike for the compliments. It is the original metal dash but the woodgrain was repainted by hand by a lady that worked for the shop that did the metal fabrication on the body for me. She did an outstanding job.

Took the Packard out for a 35 mile drive today and the odometer hit 101,000 miles.

Local shop I usually use could not handle repairing these buckets so I had to send them out of state (Ohio).

Wat_Tyler,
I purchased leds for the headlights for my 1931 from http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/led-headlamp-bulbs-shop.php Very pleased on how they light up the road now.
