I agree with Tim. They are a great bunch of pictures. I got a little side tracked with the radiator and Sylphon today and haven't been able to start this part of the project. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can get there as progress is sometimes painful.

I see that the running board to fenders and splash apron has welting. I've also noted that around the fenders and splash apron there is a metal piece between the welt and the running board. Is it correct to assume that this a peice of chrome plated steel or brass that is in the shape of an upside down "J"?

I can't begin to thank you enough for the various responses and picture that you have provided me over the months as I restore my '32 Packard.

Can't say for sure about 1932 but that's how the piece was shaped in 1934.

Can't take much credit for the pictures, all due to my $149 Staples acquired Nikon CoolPix. Although I did find that selecting macro mode greatly improved close up pictures.

Exactly right on the running board trim, front and back. it is shaped like an upside down "L".
