Fun with fenders day...
Pass side is not too awful, some bondo in it and wheelwell shape is a bit off but easily fixable.
Different story for the drivers side one -not only is it beat to ratsh*t and rusty, but some bright bulb (not me!) cut 3 1/2" inches off the tail end
Rehab is underway...
First time I've put the rears on, plopped a tire in place for a clue as to how it will look when I get the real ones next month - The fender edge will need to be radiused to clear them, 30 x 12.50s

Looking Good!

You seem to have a talent for this sort of stuff. We're so fortunate to have you posting your work here. The Packard is cool beyond words.

Thanks Bob, probably more like blind obsession than talent
The main thing is to keep moving forward, hopefully all the hard work matches the vision in the end...

It already looks like it's bustin a gut to make speed!!!

Looking better already, needs more massaging yet but it's coming along - filled the fuel neck hole, no longer needed. Tomorrow I'll radius the wheel opening and maybe round the front edge of the fender like a Willys. Planning to make a very narrow running board just to brace the rocker panel and meet the fenders - probably trim the front fenders too, also similar to a Willys...

Everything looks good.
The fender turned out great
