Ross, beautiful work. Much to be admired. Looking at your illuminated instruments gave me a crazy idea. Could the clock be converted to a tachometer? Like I said, crazy idea. Enjoy your postings, please keep them coming.

She is up and running, licensed and insured. Had to turn the house inside out to find the title as I had put it someplace "safe". Ugh.
Seems a very strong performer and leaps nicely off the line. It has a great mellow burble under load. Had some shifting problems with the Ultra but a little adjusting and use put it to rights. Somehow it had gotten sticky sitting for almost a dozen years..... Have cut the short leaf off each rear spring to bring the back down a hair since these photos were taken. The car is many hundred pounds lighter than the original sedan it was made from. Many shelves and hidey holes have been cleared out as squirreled-away treasures have finally made it to the car. Check out my cool "GPS" in the center of the dash and the gold tint day/night mirror. I'm told this was an upgrade from the regular day/night and seems to further reduce glare. Am now busy putting the interior in. The headliner turned into a nightmare and I will have to do it over sometime when I'm in a better mood. Just got the numbers today; they will go on last. Included also is a before picture, circa 1999. I think I gave $300 for it--and that was too much. Attach file:  (81.81 KB) (62.57 KB) (93.15 KB) (115.28 KB) (70.84 KB) (105.34 KB)

Ross,
Looks great. Hope to see it in person in Detroit. Maybe already discussed, are the windows functional? The back ones look like they slide in, and I can not see any window cranks for the back one in the picture.

Ross,
It looks great. Wonderful job. Bring it to Geneseo next month, East Grand Packards are making the air show car show an official function. You will certainly have a stand out. Again, congrats on a great job.
