I am hoping to find a source outside the packard service manual which I have one for,on info on reassembly of the packard 120 grill shell and louverd assembly. I have pics somewhere in which at this point cannot locate.I am looking for abreakdown of the assembly. Thanks for any help you might be in directing me in that way. P.S. its been a year and a half since plating and suffer from memory loss.

G'day Patrick,
And to PackardInfo. Sorry, can't help with your question. But there should be an experienced and knowledgeable PackardInfo member along soon who could assist.

I helped assemble a set of shutters for a 1936 Twelve a few weeks ago - the assembly was quite straight-forward, dare I say almost obvious, with ONE exception. Examine all the individual shutter blades carefully as, if similar to the Twelve, the two extreme end blades, left and right, will have a slightly different lip construction as they don't have a following blade to overlap. After the blades have been riveted to the actuating arms, best to have a buddy or two and plenty of hands available to get all the pivot pins inserted into their sockets before bringing the top and bottom sections together.
