G'day Chris R,

I see in your profile "ironhead.chris" shows with link to PM's, accordingly I have the following questions.

Is THIS the Packard you sold? If so, I will mark the Registry entry as "Sold" upon confirmation.

Second question, what about THIS? Likewise, I will mark the Registry entry as "Sold" upon confirmation.

But sorry I'm not in the market for your parts. Just trying to keep the Packard Vehicle Registry up to date.

Kev,
Congratulations on the first drive! It goes, and it stops too. Very important.

The time and effort you've put into getting the Jackard up and running in a relatively short time is to be commended. Not to forget all the advice you've received along the way. It's obvious that this project has struck a chord with many Forums members.

Keep up the good work!

G'day david,
to PackardInfo.

I invite you to include your '53 Patrician in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

You probably don't have to go all the way to the US if you're going to rebuild your shocks.

When I had the '50 the front shocks on it leaked badly, kept topping them up with hydraulic fluid, and became quite adept at doing that. Of course, it helped they were readily accessible!

But, the reason I'm posting is that ...... I found a place in Brisbane that will rebuild them - W. W. Shock Absorbers When they quoted $350/shock for a rebuild(That was in 2018 so probably more now), the topping up of the hydraulic fluid looked like the best cost option at the time!

G'day 120Fender,
to PackardInfo but sorry I can't help with your query.

Instead, I invite you to include your Packard, presume it's probably a '36 or '37 115 from your post, in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Kev.

Kev,

The pic, below, from post #378 leads me to ask, how far your door/s will open with the fenders as they are?

This "Sport" reminds me of another Packard. The one in this thread, although not a "Sport", is in similar condition.

Another matter, the second photo above gives new meaning to the phrase "Its only flat at the bottom".

Yes, any progress?

Did the car get moved? If so, how so?

Sorry Joe, can't resist, maybe you meant TENITE plastic?

Wikipedia has this to say about tenite plastic, dangerous stuff!
