More correspondence from/to Packard Downunder.
From "...photo of my mate's 38 Hearse. This is a copy of the original photo that features in the Packard Book (name escapes me but is a blue thick book - I'll have to check the name at home... maybe 'Packard - A History of the Car and the Company' or similar...) which is incorrectly captioned. The photo in the book states that it is in 'something or other' lawn cemetery in (maybe) California, however is definitely the Kinsela Packard - built in Australia. My friend's name is GraemeL who is actually a member of the forum. If you ever saw the show 'Cruisin' on TV, he was one of the regular hosts. Very knowledgeable guy - especially on Fords and hearses of all persuasions...Graeme is going to dig up a few other photo's which I'll send thru also..." To "...Found the pic on Page 706 of the "Kimes Book". As you say, it's definitely the Kinsela Hearse. Could you ask Graeme who built the body? As I'm sure that will be a point of interest. Please thank Graeme in advance for any additional photos. And speaking of Graeme and the Hearse, and especially seeing he is a PackardInfo member, could he include it in the Owner Registry?..."

More on the Kinsela Hearse courtesy of owner GraemeL
"...The body was build by Oldings in Glebe. My 39 Dodge hearse also has an Oldings body, as does my mate Stu's 37 La Salle. The 'newest' Oldings hearse I've ever seen was a 53 Ford. Not sure if they continued building hearses after that or not...." And a little googling found this and this. The first link is interesting in the info it provides about the actual body building process.

See the 2012 Expedition Across Australia Site has been updated up to and including 1st April. And there's a pic of "Maxi"! Now, is that David or Don in the red fluoro vest?

Tomorrow the VVCA 2012 Expedition Across Australia ends at Martin Place, Sydney outside the G.P.O. at Noon. I'll be there with camera!
Don't know if Veronique took the '29 Roadster and met David and Don at Bathurst but, last Sunday, John(Appin) and Annet were talking of doing the same thing, albeit without Packard - Junior still didn't have spark. EdK also said he'd join the welcoming crowd so there'll be Packard people present to welcome David and Don home. During the course of the Expedition I was starting to think 'Maxi' might be invisible. Reason being there were no pic's of him on the official website. That was rectified a couple of days ago when one blurry one appeared. Then another pic today. But now I'm overwhelmed with them, because early in the piece David had sent me an email whose subject was "Access to 1912 Centenary Expedition 2012 Dropbox for entrants - please advise all your friends - and the Media". I subscribed, but early on there weren't any pic's because there's no internet access in the Australian Outback. Now, with plenty of access, there are plenty of pic's. Some below of 'Maxi', and a few others. If you'd like to gain access to all the pic's in the Dropbox please send me an email at ozstatmanATgmail.com and I'll forward you the email I received. There are plenty of motorcycle pic's, they outnumbered the cars on the run.

Seen at a local shopping centre and probably the only one in the world, but I could be wrong. Guy is trying to muscle in on the Stretch Hummer action.

concerning the V8 car above, i would be interested to know what valve springs he used with his cam regrind. i had to source my own to match the new grind as Jack said they were all gone for the ones he used.
also the upper timing chain gear....doesn't look stock.

G'Day Henry. The valve springs were purchased straight from Kanter - $96 the set. Re the timing gear, I actually didn't purchase it as it came with the car when I bought it from John P (JP).I gave John a call and he is going to go thru his records and post where he purchased it from...

Howdy! (Texan for G'Day)
Did you get the mild cam regrind from jack? If so I would recommend something more then what I assume are stock valve springs from kanter. Check out my project blog to see what I came up with... Then again I haven't started my motor yet, but based on the specs they should work great with this mild cam I have from jack.
