Dave doesn't have what I need for 36. He has some other parts. Can you check with your guy or get me his information? I also need some specific parts for 36 Dave does not have - the chrome strip between the wind wing and the updown window :) Thanks!

I had a chat with Dave Tacheny. It’s standard window trim. Just installed incorrectly.

yes- Dave does not have exactly what I need, but, he is going to get me some non model 48 frames - then I am going to have Paul’s Chrome cobble together the bits for me using what I have that works and welding this up and Chrome it all up nice and perty

Does anyone have driver's side door latch. This is the piece that hooks to the door handle via flat steel piece. I need everything but the chrome door handle. If the passenger side is available - I will take this too. ) Thanks! ~P.

I need the long wind wing chrome bits for the two door model. Does anyone have any?

1) does the drip wing - for lack of better explanation - go between the door and the wind wing frame? 2) at the bottom of the wind wing. Is there any trim between the frame and the door? 3) where can I get the replacement rubber pieces for the windwing?

Bloo- thanks for your help. I need to revert back to the original door closing mechanism. The moron I had working for me tried to put a modern door latch in. Said it was safer. He is an idiot. I now have a box labeled Daryl’s F@ckery. I’m going to be largely on my own because I need to restore this back to original.

Thanks for the pics- I’m off to a good start.

So- things went from bad to worse- the moron I hired to do some work for me decided to replace the door latch with a bear claw. I thought this was a bad idea - but he did it anyway. At the end of the day door alignment is so bad the upside down - yea he put it in upside down - will never work. The latch is way to low. I have the components for the original door latch assembly- well almost - I should be able to get any replacement parts here - But- he did some body work and it looks like the latch mechanism will not fit anymore. I checked the book- there is no photo. Can anyone post a photo of what the pillar mechanism is supposed to look like? Many Thanks! P.

Does anyone have a hinge pin puller part number or something I can buy? Since everything has been repainted I would rather use finesse than brute force to get the hinge pin out.

Hey- so, I clearly need some shims. Where can I get some door shims? I looked on Bobs Automobila and didnt see any. Thanks! ~P.

Thank you so much!!! I have the manual and will read what you posted!

I tried adjusting the door by tightening the rod, but this just pulled the bottom of the door in. whst is the best way to align these doors?

Yea, I have a 36 manual. For my 36 model 48. I’m going to look tomorrow. Thanks! P.

When I was a kid, my grandfather had on his wall, the orignal shop drawings for his old Packard. I have never forgotten them and I am close to 60 now. What I an trying to do is collect or grab these images, clean them up and put them in mugs, stickers, etc. Below is an example of what I did for the Jeep L4-134 engine. https://peer-plaut-media-holdings-llc.myshopify.com/collections/plaut-motors/products/jeep-cj2a-l4-134-engine-5x5-sticker-free-shipping Does anyone know where I could get old Buick engine shop drawings? Thanks! ~P.
