I'd drive it just as is. If I had an extra ~$7,000 laying around. Oh well.

Don,
My apologies - I am a bit dense at times but now I understand what you were saying based on what Kevin provided. Checking part numbers between trim lines to see what interchanges, got it now! And Kevin, Thank you for pasting that here - now I see the situation better. So I guess you are correct, time to bend and flare. But first, a good flare kit. I've wanted to buy one for a while anyways, guess I have my excuse now. Do you have one you recently bought and recommend? I'll be sure to post any pictures of progress (or lack there of) and all my failures in detail

How about the full brake kit? Would it be under the '56 model year? They claimed to not have anything for a '55 Clipper. Or do I just mention the wheelbase like Kevin suggested? I believe my goal is to replace all brake lines, as the current condition is unsafe. I can worry about fuel lines for another time.

Kevin, I must admit, I didn't think to ask by wheelbase. I know Don mentioned earlier in this thread Classic Tube has a complete or partial kit, but did say they have not updated their catalog to show it. I'm sure they carry it, if he's bought it, but was just wondering if it was being carried under another Packard line, or the kit for the senior cars maybe fit?. They did of course offer to recreate any line I sent them. I also noticed a listing on eBay for a complete brake line kit from "Inline Tube" but I'm always wary of eBay sellers unless someone tells me they've bought from them and their listing is accurate.

It sure has been a quick minute since my last post. Had to put the project on hold for Winter. But now, sunny skies are here again.
I'm looking at continuing the work on the brakes and fuel system Don - you mentioned classic tube has the entire brake system. Their system only shows the 400 and patrician. Is the 400 brake system the same? The employee I spoke with said that one runs about $295 for the stainless. I also asked about fuel line and they just had the Caribbean fuel rail to the pump. Would that work?

Mike,
Thank you for letting me know. I'm in OR so not far. Now that we may have some sunny days ahead, will be doing more work. I'll be in touch I'm sure.

Marston,
Thanks for the pointers - I thought maybe the solenoids would have to be different or insulated? But good to know, thank you.

Looking good on the fender! That is a definite tricky spot with the wheel lip. There's a guy I watch on youtube - fitzee's fabrications. He does some major body repairs with basic tools - he might have a video or two on wheel lips and such, worth checking out. The hard drive crashing is unfortunate. I'be heard some folks have had success placing the hard drive in a sealed ziploc bag and in the freezer for 24hrs and then attempting to get the data off..
