Muffler screw.

Hum taillight lens screw or license plate bolt.

Looks like it is the ball thingy for the throttle linkage

Beautiful looks great Kev

He did mention the holes for the Bijur Lubrication system were plugged with gunk.
When I restored the car I did pull all he lines and metering pins and cleaned them out. However I did not drop the springs which I should have at that time and did a more better job of cleaning the holes etc.

Thanks goodness I am having him tackle this project. He had to make a special tool to get the front bolts of the rear springs out. He said with the running board and side skirt in the way he could get his air/hammer chisel in there to knock the out with out having to pull the running boars and side skirt.

He is pipe fitter by trade and very smart and creative in making tools etc...

I will need to call Max Merritt to see if they have the bolts in stock.

Just in from my friend working on the Packard leaf springs







I would say the spring and shackle bolts have seen better days. A little worn after 93 years.

He mention after putting the new springs in (temporarily bolted up) the Packard had raise up at least an inch or two. 😁

On top of that he said left front tire has gone flat...probably going to need a new tube.

Good morning
Friend picked up the Packard with his trailer yesterday. We got hit with high winds and a heavy down pour on the the way back to his house. Here he is blowing off the water













He will be installing the new leaf springs.

I should of taken some more photos.
From the back you can see it sure does lean to the passenger side. Once we got it dried off he raised it up we got under and sure enough the old spring are flat waving etc.

I am going to ask him to take some etrxa photos for me before disassemble it.

I hope the new springs will straighten out the camber issue on the front. Not sure the mileage since I installed the new tires but the front are really shafered. Going to need to replace them once we get camber, toe-in etc. dialed back in.

Have a great Sunday

Got the Packard up and running a few weekends ago

Today was a beautiful to take it for a drive
