Second Wind - a Packard Gasser

Boy oh boy!

Agreed. Looks really good!!

I've been going back and forth on whether to ditch the running boards and trim the fenders, hopefully giving it a less heavy appearance - today I did like the Pink Floyd song lyric - 'raise the blade and make the change'....
Of course now I'll need to round the front corners of the rear fenders and make a skinny rocker panel cover - but I think it'll give it a cleaner look...

Mucho grande!

Running boards are a bit overrated anyway

[zzrodder]

Yup, that's the look right there

The way you recontoured the front fender looks very good. Like you said, just needs a rocker cover. The leading edge of the rear fender could be radiused up into the wheel opening. Maybe not as much as on Big John's Willys. You know better what will fit the style you are after.

I would like to find a way to put your builds in a permanent file on a memory stick for future reference. Any computer gurus know how? or if it is even possible?

[zzrodder]

I dunno Bob, just posting this stuff is about at the limit of my computer skills...
What's more fun than modifying one fender?? Doing the other one and trying to make them look the same... It fought me for a bit but I think I won the battle.....

Scrounged up a couple more pieces of 3/4" tubing and formed them to fit the new curved front corners on the rear fenders.
