very simple procedure!! yeah right,

I can only say one thing, Thank you Craig,

totally lost and in fear with this project with Craig's simple attitude of there are no problems only opportunities to excel. Trusting in the fact that I chose to take his word that The BTV, was not a feasable option if I wanted to feel safe with braking, not only for me, but for the people in front of me. so what then? change it out!!! YIKES!!!!! change out something I have no idea about and well have worked on projects but nothing like this. The choice was made when Craig offered his assistance and well turned out to be a very simple process.

I thought for sure working with wood all my life that the wood was going to make some king of noise, nothing at all

What an amazing time, when Craig mentioned we were going to tilt the cars on the side, I thought whatever your nuts, and being part of this project has opened my eyes!!! WE Put a Packard on its side to fit headers. come on!!!!!! I thought I was just going to learn a little bit about Packards and now well, after a wonderful days work, and Criag's imagination, there is a Packard on its side so we can commence the header project!!!

Craig called me last night to prepare for this event, and I told him all the pressure is on you, Its not my car!! and such a well laid out plan and execution, I WANT TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!!!

Craig Your a Genus!! no more crawling under the car!!!!

This was a very new experience for me, and what a honor to work with Craig and Bud. Truth be told, It is one of my top memories the feeling of accomplishment when we finally separated the two completely, Since I am getting to know my Clipper Constellation, Craig has been an inspiration on this new endeavor, and when asked if I wanted to be part of this Panther Project, It is all falling into place. The time and effort to remove and see how the engineering is and how as Craig puts it the "elegance" of the torsion leveling system, and well my eyes are being opened to a whole new world, the Packard world.

yes the guiding force King Koni the Marvelous Golden Retriever, keeping a constant eye on the goings on. looked at the fuel system today and looking into a new fuel sending unit. more to come!!!

Thank you, yes she ran today, The resurection has happened I have never heard her run what a wonderful sound. with the help of our good friend Craig, we have a running clipper as well as some good inspiration, Thank you for posting your blog about your recent trip with your 55' soon to have some pics and story line...

Hello Packard enthusiast,

I am Lance from Pahrump, Nv. My fathers car from high school. She has been sitting in my garage, waiting for the right time to be resurrected.. I plan to write a blog in more detail about this transformational process with this wonderful automobile, the car along with the personal transformation within, and with family and friends(past present and future). Here I will mention Craig Hendrickson, He is the one who guided me here, and suggested a plan of action that will prove to be a success.

I think I should mention the car here, Her name is Che'rie, derived from the French meaning darling. She revealed her name to me while I washed the years of dust and carnage of her years in storage with no attention other than the famous"one of these days" attention.

Che'rie is a 1955 Clipper, whom I am getting to know, when I know more you will know more..

Thank you
Lance of God
