    That looks so cool. Can’t wait to see the front end on it.

    WOW!!

     

    Is that grille all hand made?

    And if so.. to be a perfect copy of a Packard grille, or to look like a Packard grille perfectly fitted to the ’38 Ford?

     

    .

    WOW! Great to see it coming together Tony.
    I vote for the color Yellow. that would make it the perfect 80’s custom.

    This is correct!

    It is slightly larger than the real Packard I have hanging on the wall.

    The peak down the front is 1938 Ford door trim, so it has some Ford DNA. The rest, hand made.

    It’s been a month…so I’ve done a little. Worked on window garnish and a few small door things. Installed a clock in my clockless glovebox door, started modifying the fuel tank…odd and ends.

    Two things:
    1. I wanted to use a stock tank.
    2. With inboard leaves, it was too wide!

    As a result, I had to narrow it 300mm (basically a foot) and of course lost a lot of capacity. My solution was to make a new tank bottom and extend it forward and regain what I lost. This was fun with all the angles an curves, not to mention internal baffling.

    Anyway…
