Interior is looking good! I'm waiting for my fabric from SMS for my Cavalier..... They were running it for the second time this past week, still waiting to hear the news.



Thanks fellas! Still waiting for the car to go to the body shop though.

Bought a buffing wheel at an estate auction a while back, built a stand for it and started cleaning & polishing the stainless trim & grille. Happy with the results so far

Oh, that's perfect, thank you!!! If that's what Packard did, that's what I'll do too! Neither my Cavalier or Patrician parts car have any of those little foam blocks, so maybe they started doing that after 53. Maybe I'll get some neoprene, it would be soft and squishy.

Is that a bit of butyl on there? Factory undercoating

I have a 55 320 block that was going to get scrapped, I could pull what you might want off of it & send it your way

Good on you for persisting.
I got so frustrated working around the rear axle & suspension I just finally dropped the whole thing out of the car. Way easier after that.

Looking good!
If those are the blankets from princess auto, be wary. They will burn from hot sparks, grinding sparks should be fine

Interesting. It should be noted that the assembly diagram for the harness is listed under its part number. The MISC drawings are schematics, installation drawings, outline drawings, etc.

For reference, here are some more:
MISC 1-1382: 56 Clipper Schematic
MISC 1-1383: 56 Packard Schematic
MISC 1-1428: 56 Installation Drawing


Those 3 drawings I have, found that particular part number on my harness hence why I’m looking for it.thanks
