Welding in new inner and outer rocker panels and floor pans. Found a problem with the outer rocker panels I ordered from Classic to Current Fabrications. It appears to not fit; the bottom is too long and the top too short. Has anyone else ordered rockers from them and, if so, did you have a similar find?

Began to re-assemble yesterday only to discover, during testing bearing clearance with plastigage, that Kanter sent me .001 bearings instead of .010 (the new old stock boxes were in such disrepair we couldn't read them). Engine block painted Massey Ferguson Gray. Attach file:   (104.33 KB)   (118.10 KB) Posted on: 2012/8/5 10:45

I'm selling the Packard I bought in 2010. It's posted on ebay. I'll never recover the thousands I spend on frame straightening, engine rebuilding, re-chroming, etc. but I do have a lifetime of memories.
