Looking like a real car now..:)

Dropped the trunk lid in place for a more complete rear view.

Going to remount the tail lights like this, by eliminating the stand and making a new base plate so they mount lower but still in the factory holes. Gorilla tape is a great third hand...

Headlights also hanging on by gorilla tape. I'm going to make new lower than stock pedestals so they will sit a bit higher than this with signals incorporated into them.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, I'm excited myself when I get to put the big pieces together like this. Tried to get a decent profile shot by angling it and pushing over to one side of the shop, hard to get far enough away to get it all in.
Looking forward to some Arizona sun to recharge and get back on it in the spring. :):)

Jus wondering...you thinking of a light color on this???

Good question - I'm partial to black but the original Packard cream color is a runner up.... lots of time to think on it still. [S
The owner also has a black 2dr and a cream roadster, both 37's so who knows??
