Russ,

Feel free to contact me while in Phoenix. I will be at the PI meet, returning home that sunday evening.

Russ,

Lucky b*****d, and with Joanne and Daniel too. One day hope to get there myself to shake Kev's hand.

Pity about the return trip, means you'll get back after the P.A.C.A. AGM on the 8th. But not to worry as I'm sure you can be easily nominated, seconded and elected inabsentia to a position not of your choice!

Hi Mal

Thanks for nomination (whatever it is), another good reason to be out of the country!

Just had a few hassles getting the bookings lined up on the 12th, all on FF points.
Looks like we will now have to fly out of LA on the 9th (drat)

Cheers

Hi Jim

Looks like we are now out earlier than first hoped - may not make it to Phoenix.

I will keep an eye out for you at the meet.

Warm regards

Well I finally got everything booked:

PI Membership renewel - Done
Hotel Reservation - Done
Weekend Meet Package registration - Done

So come hell or high water, I will be there on Friday morning for the first 9am seminar. Hopefully the weather will be sunny and clear for all events.

Can I get a roll-call of everyone that is going to attend either the entire PI Meet (Fri-Sun) or the Swapmeet (Sun). That way I can make sure I try to find everyone that is coming.

Thanks, and I will start the roll-call:


Kevin (aka BigKev) - PI Meet (Fri-Sun)

Kev,

I will be driving over from AZ on Sat. Plan on being at the Swap Meet on Sunday only..........when they open. :)

Excellent to hear Chuck. I look forward to meeting you. Hopefully everyone else that mentioned coming earlier are still going to attend. If so it will be a mini-PackardInfo.com meet inside the larger PI meet.

I heard from Dan Yocum last night who is a local Packard part supplier I get some of my harder to find 51-56 parts from. He will not be attending due to health issues, but is sending some parts down with another guy from the regional PI chapter.

Also he told me he scored a complete '54 A/C system (from underhood to trunk and everything in between) from a gentleman in CT. He is going to put that on his '53 Patty. So it will be nice to see one of those locally in working operation.

I also talked to him about locating a crank pulley that was used on the power steering equipted models for use on the '54 for aftermarket A/C. He has the piece that bolts to the front of the standard pulley for power steering. I always thought it was a completely different pulley with 2 grooves. But according to him its just an add on piece that bolts to the front of the existing pulley. So hopefully that is coming down to the PI meet with the gentleman that is bringing some of his parts down. He should also be bringing down new 53 Senior, 54 Junior (same as '53 Senior), & 54 Senior (with the fin) headlight rings that Dan is reproducing out of cast aluminum.

Well it's a bit rainy here in So Calif, but I checked the weather for next weekend and it should be clear, sunny and about 73 degress. Who could ask for more! Much better the rain out that happened last year.
