I built mine for $24 with scrap 2" pipe from a muffler shop and a couple of flanges from an old set of headers. Bought 8 ea. 3' pieces @ $2 a...

Here's my '51 Packard. Just got it running last weekend and hopefully can find the time to do some customing. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] I believe this is a Pedal Assembly for a 1948 - 1952 Ford PU. There are several casting numbers on the different pieces that pointed me...

Sorry, I should have clarified that it was a rattle can. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Just painted and what you see is the finished product. No additional steps. Just had to paint in the same direction as the wind so the overspray...

51 Packard in the driveway with 2 in 1 primer/paint from home depot two years ago. Holding up very well. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I bought and built a Speedway Lowboy that someone had already started because that's the look I liked and that's what I could afford. Had a blast...
You've inspired me to get busy on my 51 Packard. Look forward to following your reassembly. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Thanks for all the input...
I've got a 288 in my '51, and would like to hop up the old girl to more than 135 HP. Any straight 8 "hot rodders" out there with any advice?
I'd have to say weight definitely plays a part here. With that said, I had no problem getting 20 mpg consistently with a Ford 351W, T5, 279:1...
That's some kind of strong magnet on that nut/bolt tray still stuck to the side.
Good eye.... I noticed that myself.:rolleyes: Nice company for the shop I might add.:)
My favorite:
You are correct Gromit.... I just thought mine looked like the TBI in my '89. I looked a little closer this weekend and I do have the Central SFI...
Thx for the encouragement!!!!
Thanks for all the advice. I'll ask more questions as they pop into my little head.
Mine looks just like my 89 350 TBI, it just has a different air inlet ducting compared to the metal air filter housing the 89 had.
I know my ('97 PU) 305 looks like throttle body injection. I'm not much of a chevy guy. Put a Ford 351W/T5 in my Roadster so this is kinda new....
Why is that?
Thanks Mike. I'll check into the cost of aftermarket harnesses. Anybody else have suggestions of vendors who sell harnesses?
Thinking of pulling the complete driveline out of a '97 Chevy truck (305 TBI/ 4L60E) and placing them in my '51 Packard as a dependable long haul...
Enjoyed every post of this thread. Great work guys.... and thanks for documenting it.
A couple of keepers for sure, your wife and your car. Happy Trails from Texas
Sits really nice. Good work!!! You'll be on the road soon enough...
Set up mine the same way your doing, I just used more lines of tape as if a hood was being placed on it. You just want to try and keep the angle...
