Nova Clip on the Packard

The new clip installed

Progress is always nice.  The front clip is on and looks great.  The alignment is impressive!

Pictured here as well are the new custom brackets holding the axel to the leaf springs.

It is coming back off this evening and being sent for new gears and a posi unit.

 

Just for fun

Just for fun.  Racing stickers on the Packard.  Might have the speed to race it but this car is more for show.  Its fun to hear about the remarks when people come into the shop and see the car and wonder if she will be seen on the track!
