1936 Packard

Why is it that when the guy that builds the car goes to sell the car it is never worth as much as the guy that bought the car wants to sell it for 6 months later.[S I'm confused......

And they even used a lot of ZZ's pics! Talk about sticking the knife in!

It took me two days but I got through the build. You sir, have mad skills.
(Now I've got to get a thumper cam for my engine). Very inspiring.

Mr ZZ. Do you still go to AZ ? I'm in Phoenix it would be great to meet you and pick your brain.

I have fiberglass panels for a 1936 Packard V-12 roadster. You have a great eye for slicing and dicing these things.

That could make a cool ride - looks like just a bare shell so there's lots of bracing and structure work to do there, but what's a project without a challenge....
Here's a couple pics of a 37 Packard I saw in Yuma a couple years ago, a really nice fibreglas repro body made by the owner of Gibbon fibreglas, not sure if any others were made. Many of the hardware pieces, trim etc., are genuine including the frame - 350/350 SBC power. Probably not the direction you want to go, but it shows what can be done with a 'glas body.

ZZ, I found a Packard for you to drool over. Figured you might get a kick out of it!

That's a real looker, Troy and HHR sure turn out some impressive cars. [cl[P The only thing I would change is to use a genuine Packard V12 instead of that Lincoln V12 but that's just nit picking on my part...

Yeah, for some reason I wasn't keen on the Lincoln V12 either. Yeah, HHR builds some fine rides!

ZZ, last week a black '36 Packard two door showed up at the Grande Prairie A&W. I didn't get to talk to the owner but some other guys said he had bought it in British Columbia. I was overwhelmed and convinced it was yours, but it was a matte black and it had bump trunk and yours was real black and a slant back. It made me check out your thread, though. Close but no cigar.

I always wanted to find one of those Packard straight 8 flatheads and use it for a project; great looking piece of old iron. I think they called them Thunderbolts or something like that?

This build was incredible, too! I learned a lot from it.
