This build is looking good so far & it seems to be going far real fast, too. A slammed Packard, now that's going to be sharp when done !
 
progress!

For some reason, your pics don't appear on my 'puter, today, rusty. But that's ok - I saw it Monday, and I'll see it again Saturday!

Great progress so far!

i got to work on the packard today! i mocked up the body on the frame and put the motor/trans in too so i could see what this thing will look like. i'm likin what i'm seein. the wheelbase ended up at 120 inches. i thought it was going to be longer, but 120 is good. i found a paper wasp nest under the dash. it was vacant thankfully. ive decided to buy an S&W ladder bar setup for the rear suspension because i'll be drag racing this conbooberation. well heres what its looking like as of tonight.

today i started mocking up the rear of the car. i decided instead of trying to repair the damaged rear of the car i cut the damaged area off and it gives it an old dirt modified look. i also put the quick change rear in place and the tires i'm going to use to see how it all looks. here it is....
