Any chance of a Pic or two of the heat riser valve either side of the exhaust manifold under the carb? Speak to you again soon in regard to the rear lower shock mount details......Terry Terry, Don't confuse me with what I'm posting here. All the credit should go to Wade, I follow along and pass spanners, scrape dirt and grease, paint parts and take pic's. Will be at the workshop this morning, Saturday, so will get the pic's you want. And JW I'll get yours too! And I haven't forgotten the rear lower shock mounts. I'll get under the '34 chassis soon and measure it up for you. And Steve(Hardtop), You're amazed? I'm the one who's constantly amazed!

Hey Mal,
Got a quick question about the 34. Were the doors removed for painting, or left in place?

Saturday 29th August 2009
Arrived at the workshop to find I'd beaten Wade in, a rare event! Turns out Wade was doing some "errands" for Gina who left earlier in the week for 6 weeks overseas including 2 weeks in Syria, a very adventurous lady! Anyway without Wade I turned to satisfying Terry and John's picture requests which can be seen below. Then cleaning the '41's running board trim pieces. There are 22 pieces with 7 pieces at the front and 4 at the rear of each board each held by 3 clips to the board. During the course of removing the trim pieces last month and cleaning them today on the wire wheel a number of clips broke. So if anyone has any spares I'm in the market for at least 12. While I went to the workshop today with the intention of helping Wade put the front clip and radiator back on Old Blue, they'd already been put in place yesterday and this left Wade the task of bolting it back in today. Because my services weren't required, I continued cleaning all the running board hardware and trim. Except that is for the S/S spear at the side of each board. The spear consists of a long steel "core" with a formed S/S covering. The left side S/S is very beat up while the right side is missing the S/S cover and was painted black when I got the car. Initially I won't be putting the spears back on the boards while I consider a couple of solutions to the problems I face with them. Quote: Hobbs wrote: Hey Mal, Got a quick question about the 34.

Well,Mal I think that there aren't that many places in the world where people have fun with old Packards.
And the main question, did the 1930s Packards hade any anticorrosion works done before they came out of the factory? I think they must have used lead but maybe there was something els to?

Steve, I'm sure there are plenty of people having fun with Packards. And my situation certainly is terrific "fun", it's also dirty, rewarding, frustrating, entertaining, exciting, expensive but I wouldn't change it for anything because it's also magic. At least it is to this 62 year old who thinks he's 18 again! But, I'll leave answering your question to the experts. Over to you guys!
