1935 Packard Super 8 1205 Deitrich Convertible Sedan
 

 
 

This is what we determined to be the starter switch. Several switches were literally dissected
then the parts stored in sandwich bags. Again without notes, photos or drawings. Add to that
several years had passed and apparently so did the memory of how to put all this back together.
We've seen many shops and individuals dissect everything at the start of restoration.
Sure, that's the easy part, seems like a lot gets done. But it really doesn't. We take a
different approach; in short the part is dismantled when the time is proper to restore the part.
And that can differ depending on the project and the owner.
And not all parts need to be dissected at all like this switch was.
