37 packard hot rod build UPDATED PICS!
just thought i'd share a few pics and words of my 37 packard build. its a 4 door which is in good shape. i have no fenders or grille for it but thats cool. i wouldnt use fenders anyway and a grille from something else will certainly work. i'm using the front suspension and frame stub from a 51 ford 1/2 ton pickup. i'm using it for 2 reasons. the packard came sitting on a modified 77 monte carlo frame which was poorly done and looks terrible. the truck front suspension has been rebuilt. i plan to zee the frame to get the body in the weeds. it will get a pretty radical 455 olds motor. t/400 trans and a frankland quick change rear. i'll be using ladder bar rear suspension. ok , heres a few pics. the first one is bringing it into the shop finallt. ive owned it for about a year.
