Todd,
I'm going to paint it an original 1930s Packard blue. It is so dark it looks black. With a red interior, of course!

We did the alternator a couple years ago so my memory of the details is a little fuzzy. Maybe after Autorama I can pull it off for another look. A friend machined an adapter to use the original chain sprocket on the new alternator, and a spacer to use the original mounting holes on the engine. Although the original generator looks big, there is really little room for a modern alternator. I went to a local rebuilder and got the smallest alternator he had that also charged well at low rpm to work with the low rpm engine. Unfortunatly with the position it is mounted it is impossible to see any markings indicating the make and model. I do believe it was from a small import. Hope this helps.

Your basic Packard model kit, just put it together! Look close and you can see the frame, engine, trans, and front and rear axle assemblies ready to go together!
