So Barry said Bingo to West post of the "D-type Jaguar sold in the $60,000 range recently". Could this be the car he is talking about????

Any '31 bumper bow-ties?

I was wondering why the link didn't either. But I sure like the Garage Decor Toolbox magnet that shows up.....

Bernie, I have used this on my car. High Performance Wood Hardener - Wood Maintenance & Repair It may not be as good as Kwik-Poly but it was readily available at our local hardware stores. It may or may not be available in your neck of the woods. Just throwing out some other options for you to look into.

Probably cost more then the Judge windshield you have in your signature.

RodsoftheValley, The attach file is what is stamped on the windshield that was in the car. I can not however verify if this was the original glass for the car.

For my 1931 Packard I purchased the material from here. LeBaron Bonney Company

I don't know off hand but when I get the glass back I will check for you.

Back from glass shop for only $85 I order one. Will box up the orginal one and put it away with the rest of the old parts I have saved.Well off to the last Cruze night of the season. This will be old Bessie first one since I finished part of her restoration.

My car is a 1931 Packard all the glass was/is laminated.The door glass I replaced with tempered glass. I am going to run down to the glass shop now just to see what it will cost to have a new one cut/made. Thanks for your reply

While reinstalling the door glass one of the doors glass broke on me so instead of replacing just the one I replace both of them with new glass. I am at the point of reinstalling the windshield glass but it has a slight yellowish ting to it. If I install the original one it won't match the doors for clarity so do I replace with a new one or just live with the color difference? What would you all do?

I attended this show on Sunday as a spectator and took a few pictures of the some of the Chicagoland Packard club cars that where in the Club parking area. Some Pictures for you Packard Lovers. Would of taken pictures of the other cars in the main show but it was so crowded it was hard to get any good shots.

Not me I love working out in the heat. One way to loose the winter weight

O yes the smiles you put on their faces. I got my car running a few weeks ago took her out for a ride and you wold not believe all the thumps up I received and the heads turning. :cool: Or maybe it was because my trusty companion harley dog was sticking his head out the front window.

Darn it I could not get past the 10th photo. That sure is one fine looking ride :cool:

How does one know if the system is working correctly?

Steve and Don, Thank you very much for the compliments. Without this forum and some painting forums I don't think I would be where I am at as of today. So does the car look cool or what without them big fenders hanging off of it :cool: They are the next thing on my agenda to hopefully get painted this summer.

Just added some recent photos http://forums.aaca.org/f134/31-833-restoration-213384-25.html#post773940

The oil pan had a few crack in it so the shop that did the metal work for me sent it off to welder that specializes in welding aluminum. I pickup the oil pan earlier this week. Ground down the welds got it all painted and pretty and reinstalled. Fired her up the following day and took her out of her hibernation shed for a few mile drive. Today was clean out garage day. Which was way over due. So I fired up old Bessie and parked her outside. Once I completed my task of cleaning and straighten out the garage I took Old Bessie with my co-pilot Harley out for a little longer driver (roughly 20 miles) and out on some of the so called major roads. Harley loved the wind in your face ride since I don't have the windshield install yet (Ahh free ac ) Attach are a few pictures of her out in the Sun finally. Not the best but at least you can see what it looks like outside in natural lighting.

Is it to later to order one?

Hi West, Sorry did get back to you sooner. Went out of town last Thursday to in laws Indiana home and had to cut vacation short because my mother-in-law fell down the stairs while we were out there and broke her hip. On top of that they found that she has %100 blockage in one artery and others have %20-%50 blockage. It has been a busy last few says for us. The picture you posted looks like what I have on there now. Thank you very much for taking the time and posting the picture.

Say what as I am choking down the water I was just sipping? Is it because of the Packard name If you look at the picture of my bumper you can see that the bracket is attached to where the chrome ball that is shown in the picture you attached. The opposite side of my car has this same bracket which will I will not install since now I have the step plate you sold me. And the search goes on for some more pictures

West that is exactly like the one I saw at the show yesterday. Thank you very much for the quick reply. FYI mine looks like the one in the above picture of the green car. The two extra brackets I guess were install since the car was missing the step plate. Would you know or anyone else on here where I can fins the little chrome ball that goes between the two bumpers? Attach is a reference picture I took before I started to disassemble the car.

I know old post but since my restoration is coming along and bumpers will be hung in the next month or so. I am in need of a picture or two of the drivers side rear bumper attachment. Was at a car show yesterday and saw a '31 convert there and the mounting looks different then what is on my car and am curious if mine has been modified or ???? Thanks for all the help.....

Here is a link to the Epoxy Primer and HB Primers I used on my car. http://southernpolyurethanes.com/Pricing%20Info.htm If you have any question or need help with anything related to painting Barry the owner is only a phone call away. I had called him once when I was stuck on setting up my gun to spray my SS paint. FYI, DO NOT SODA BLAST if using SPI Expoy. They state it I believe right in their product/tech sheets.
