1937 Packard 115 coupe

[smallfoot]

That cream color is similar to a HD servicar I built. Main color was cream with small touches of black. I always thought it looked pretty good.

Black with red guts and cream wheels... [dr
...but, even with the most discusting color this would still be a jaw dropper imho...

You must have yer Radar turned on and aimed out West - just got home yesterday from the land of sun and sand. Got a couple weeks worth of things to sort out, also have to work on the 'Honey-do' list... Then it's time to get back to the Packard and see if I can remember how to weld and swing a hammer [S

I hired somebody to climb Husky Tower and keep an eye on you. (100% pure BS. )

Welcome home, zz. I hope all is well and I look forward to your work on the Packard...

Welcome back zz. We've all been waiting with baited breath. And no one likes worms in their mouth.

 

[MercuryMac]

I've been waiting so long with baited breath, that my mouth tastes like worms too.
Soooo, Welcome back ZZ.

 

[BillM]

Glad you are back as well! (and I thought they said Easter was really late this year....lol)

 

[zzrodder]

Thanks everyone, great to be able to get away but it's always good to be back home. Sort of a working holiday, did a full in and out reno of our new place in Arizona, next season will do more relaxing... here's before and after pics.

I like the difference it made on the street appeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually got in about a 1/2 hour working on the Packard today for the first time since getting home. While the front sheet metal is still mocked up, it's a good opportunity to get the front mount/crossmember made. Like most cars of this era, the whole front end is mainly located by this center mount under the rad support. Also like most Mustang II type front suspensions, the rack ends up right under it though there is just enough room to get bolts into it. I'm fabbing this crossmember from 1/4" plate, so it should be plenty stout.

 

[Torchie]

Stout indeed.

I've only heard the term "skookum" in your neck of the woods. I used to think I knew the definition... now, I believe it means "built like a battleship." [ddd
