As always, nice work. Stay warm and motivated -- it will be ready for paint by spring. ;)

For those reading along about the 36 Packard, here is some info on the 34 Cadillac. Here is a direct link: http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15790 Enjoy.

If you are not "ready" to chop it, figure out something else to invest your time and money into. Frame, Suspension, Breaks, Get it running, etc... All those things are more important than chopping it right at this moment. Seen many a chopped cabs sitting after the "haircut" when interest wanes.

Vision + Skill + Time + Money = Awesome

Bracing I am no expert but bracing up the inside would be next on my list... Before things get exciting and you find the car without a top.

48 Olds Back to top... Just because I think any ~ new ~ folks should have a chance to look through this one. Sam_Fear, Any updates worth mentioning?

Is the front axle mounted solid to the frame? Do what you want with the body just make sure the important go, stop, and steer parts are in working order :cool:

Very nice. I like the front end even more now. Keep up the good work!

very nice Hopefully the garage came with a house nearby (or you already live pretty close). My main regret in our new place is the lack of a separate out building... maybe next time.

here it is rotated:

When they are talking about IFS (independent front suspension) this page has an example that looks pretty decent on an open fender car. Look at the 6th and 8th photo in the second post--a black car with a green grill shell. http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24593

I was thinking about this earlier today... got all excited when it was back at the top of the list. :eek:

Excellent work all around. With the extra off-white paint, you could spray the floor to brighten up the work environment. [ddd

In the end, you are doing all the work... and you should decide*. She will probably change her mind again. Your creation will look good what ever color you decide on. Personally I think off-white and black are both better choices than gold. * Full disclosure, this idea of "he who does the...
