Second Wind - a Packard Gasser

Super car, It is going to be a fun time for sure.

Temporarily set the grille in place and rolled it outside for some sunshine pix

Wild!

I can't wait to see the next installment.

Waiting for the engine block to come back from the machine shop, decided to put the front end together for another photo op. Also made a couple mounts for the front nerf bars, I think they may be Ford bumperettes?
Now with the fenders on, you can see how deleting the running boards makes the body slimmer, more Willys-ish. When I tell people I'm building a Packard Gasser, they mentally picture a big car, which the Senior Packards are, but the 115 Coupe wheelbase is only 2 3/4" longer than a 37 Chevy.

I love everything about this car.

It looks great!

Beautimus!

Thanks Bob
Yes, no plan to part with this one (unless someone offers a stupid amount of money to exceed the insane amount I've spent on it - highly unlikely....), my biggest problem is that I'm running out of room to work on the next one...

I love it!! The purple windows are just the perfect touch!
