yes i dont remeber what they are, in my first post i gave them up in i am new to packards need help. its a shame my car is a all number matching car. but the engine was bad! and the cost to build the packard drive train and what i had in the garage it was cheeper for me to do a transplant. sorry to all the packard die hards. but i have a 69 camaro, 70 and 1/2 camaro, and a 33 all steel 3 window with a flat head that has never been touched. as well as my custom harley so im looking for just a fun fast toy that that no not evry one has. you won't see too many packard clippers out there with a big block in them with more candy on it then willy wonkas factory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lol

When I was a kid my first job was in a body shop sweeping floors at the age of 12 then sand blasting then panting lawn furniture then on and on lol then I went to school in Indy for automotive did that for a wile then started building custom Harley's got bored and started selling used auto parts and that stuck so now I own a salvage yard in Ohio buy wrecked car for parts some I fix but must just part out that's my story in a nut shell so to answer your question I have had some training but most is self taught just have to have patience and with body work its like a broken record you keep repeating every thing you do one nice paint job you will sand the same car at least 50 times in different steps lol I think this old girl was made for a big block with some massive power the engine in the pics is just a mock up engine not the one i will run i will send them after its in and running
