  1. I recently acquired a 1930 733 packard rumble seat coupe. 

    This is the first packard I have owned. My question to the packard people out there is. Are there any prints or drawings out there of the wood structure of these cars. This car is very solid but will need some wood replaced. Secondly, the seat springs and most of the wood bottoms are there but in poor shape. Is there anybody that fabricates these? My upholstery guy is good but he doesn't get into seat frames or springs. 

    Thanks for any help or insight.

  2. I bought this a while back from a member that posted on this site.

    it is as sound as he described and am very happy with it.

    however I am going in a different direction with things now.

    just looking to recoup my initial investment which was $750.

    hate to see it just sit here and languish.

  3. Al,

    that is something that has crossed my mind. 

    The rim that I have narrowed is an agricultural  wheel rim.The bead height is the same as the buffalo wheel rims. 

    I think I lucked out on this issue. I hadn't thought of that till after I started narrowing the rim.

  4. Al,

    i have big aspirations for the winter. Harvest will be here in probably two weeks.

    untill that's done I won't get much done on the project but have a vast majority of the components now so won't have to do much searching this winter and more building and fabricating. The t head showed 3200 miles on the odometer and I would have to think it's accurate from the looks of the internals. Looks like a hone, crank polish and valve and seat grind may get it in shape.

  5. I am not sure. I bought a set of 400 lbs. capacity scales. I am weighing components as I go through the engine so I can get an accurate weight. That will help me in reinforcements to the chassis I am using and wheel choices.
