My ‘51 resto mod

[Mark Johnston]

I bought this ‘51 Packard badged D-12 that someone painted blue very poorly at some point & decided to give it a new life. I already had the locking springer set aside for a project like this.
This was a lot of fun!

I’m collecting parts to build a blue version for my son out of another crusty ‘51 I have. I think I can bore out a skiptooth cog to fit the Bendix kickback hub.

Before you bore , check the count on that cog , you might be able too simply cut off every other tooth ?

It’d be easier to bore the cog.
