Title: 1937 Packard 120
Post by: Recklessrob on January 20 2007, 10:59:09 PM: This is one of the more unusual cahs that I work on. Right now
I have the nose off of it so I could remove the radiator. I got it
running after it had been sitting for years. These pics were taken with the dying digital camera. I don't know exactly why, but I found the hood
ornament on this car to be really fascinating.

to make a "driver" out of. 6 volt electrical system still works too.

I bet it is heavy also, not some little plastic thing glued on the car.

That is what I figured, drop it on your foot, and you will have a broken piggy or close to it.

Post by: Recklessrob on January 22 2007, 10:26:21 PM: I broke my "piggy" on my right foot a few years ago. I now
know why a 3/8" air gun is also called an "impact wrench".
